Moroccan henna is one of the hardest henna powders to get in stock, as it takes more time then usual, and finding the right source for high quality Moroccan henna is also difficult.

This is an amazing henna powder, and just like argan oil, it’s one of the premium henna powders available! It was my first love affair with henna. It always had to be Moroccan henna.

For hair it’s great as it blends well to create brown to black tones without the red peeking through. In recent years though the Moroccan henna has produced richer stains, so we do recommend hair strand tests to ensure the color is still blending well with the proper proportions used.

Moroccan henna also has a very fast dye release, so you don’t need to sit and wiat for hours for your henna to be ready. When mixing it for body art application, it is ready right on time, especially for those last minute henna parties. It should usually be ready between 6-8 hours.

The rich, color results on the skin is perfect for henna body artists. You can see below the progression of how natural henna deepens over time.

 Moroccan henna is so rich, creamy, and has gorgeous color results this year! We did go ahead and order extra before the 2009 crop is finished. There has been heavy rains there as well, that will cause the crop for 2010 to come in a little later this year.

Have a successful 2010 henna season and get your Moroccan henna today!

It’s very important that you hire a professional henna artist so that your henna is perfect for your big day. Settling for any henna artist, even in order to just save money, may only leave you with just that: Money saved, low quality service, and henna designs barely orange in color.

We will show you why choosing the Henna Sooq for your bridal mehndi will leave you with no regrets!

• Our bridal consultations are absolutely free of charge, and include a free henna design (sample). It is a commitment free appointment.
• We show you our own henna portfolio, and not the work of other artists. Our henna artwork is unique to our own style (such as in picture below). We do encourage you to show us styles of designs that you like.

Choosing your bridal mehndi artist for your wedding, can be a difficult decision. We want to lay down some things that you can use in order to help you make that decision. Here is a checklist that will help you make that important decision, and give you a chance to go over all of the things you may not have thought of or known of.

My Bridal Mehndi (Henna) Checklist

• Where can I find a mehndi artist? The best places to find a professional mehndi artist in online. Try search engines such as google.com (.ca). Make sure you type in key words such as mehndi, henna, artist, YOUR CITY. Make sure you put in your city as part of the search.  You can also try forums such as  hennatribe.com where there are many professional henna artists there willing to help you out.
• Professional website. If they are providing this as a professional service, they should have an up to date website. Their website should have a full portfolio in their gallery, be easy to navigate, have all the information laid out clearly, and be well organized.
• Contacting the artist. You should contact the artist by either email or by phone. Take notes down on how quickly they respond to you (meaning, did it take them long to get back to you during emails or if you left a message), if they answered your questions clearly and properly, and seemed to be a well organized person.
• Bridal consultation. Set up an appointment to have a bridal consultation with them. This should be available for you at no charge. You will go over henna designs that you like, browse over their professional portfolio book, discuss the date, and times you would need them for, and receive a free henna design sampling. This sample will allow you to see how well they work, smell their henna paste (yes, some henna pastes do stink!) and to view the stain results of their henna paste on your skin. Remember that you will have guests at your wedding, and you can use this consultation to decide if you need 1 or more henna artists at your mehndi night.
• Will you get along with your mehndi artist? Choosing the right person to do your mehndi is important. You don’t want to choose the person who will chatter and gossip your ear off. You really want someone you can connect with, and who understands all of your needs. Don’t feel pressured to choose only from the designs an artist shows you or tries to convince you of. Remember this is your wedding, and you have the right to choose ANY style of designs that suit your taste (and will also please your family). Always communicate clearly, so that there are no misunderstandings.
• Do they double book? Make sure that your mehndi artist is not booking you, and another client on the same day. This practice is not fair to you. Having them well rested, and not rushing to get to the next job will ensure that you will get the service that you deserve.
• Freshly made henna paste. Never hire a henna artist who does not make their own henna paste. You are taking a HUGE risk in doing so. Pre-made cones out of the stores are not guaranteed to have good staining results, and they contain additives and preservatives in them. Natural freshly made henna paste will not last out on the shelf or in the fridge for too long. The dye demises within a few days. Most professional mehndi artists either make small batches of fresh henna paste for their clients, or make large batches of henna, and store it in the freezer (only up to 6 months). Make sure to take a good sniff of their henna paste (don’t worry you won’t have to take their henna cone/bottle to your nose. When they are applying your sample design at your consultation, you will be able to smell it). Everyone has their own unique recipe, and therefore each person’s henna smells different. Make sure you like the scent of it because that henna will be on your skin for many hours on your henna night.
• Guests. The henna night is especially exciting for guests, and especially if this will be their first experience getting henna done. The best package you will get will have an hourly rate, where you can get as many guests done in an hour. This is usually between 10-13 people, as the average is about 5 minutes each (this is based on one design each). Whereas, giving designs to choose from is ideal to a professional henna artist, as we want each and every person to be happy with the design that they would like to have, it is not always practical. When people have too many choices to make, it takes a lot more time, and that will cost you more. So use your best judgement. You know your guests best, so try to be moderate. Have the artist bring a small selection of designs and allow your guests to choose from those. If you are very concerned with the time, then ask the artist not to bring any design books, and have them work that way. Keep in mind that not all henna artists are capable of working without design books. Make sure you inquire as to how many years experience the henna artist has. At least 3 or more years is ideal. A very good henna artist will be able to work without design books, and get one design done in about 4-5 mins.
• Bridal contract. The mehndi artist should provide a bridal contract in which you have laid out the terms of your agreement, and the final pricing. This makes sure you are both on the same page, and that no changes can be made unless both parties agree. Sometimes travel fees might apply. Be prepared to leave a deposit if you decide to book with them. This will secure your date.
• Bridal Mehndi Aftercare. What kind of care should you expect after your mehndi has been applied? Your mehndi artist should definitely provide lemon-sugar to dab/mist onto your henna after the paste has dried. This will further seal in your henna, and give it better chances of staining dark. Once that dries, wrapping your designs up would ensure that none of the paste falls off. Wrist, ankles, and any points of bending will possibly lift the henna paste up where it could fall off. We want to make sure your henna stays on for at least 4-6 hours (overnight for best results). Do not wrap your designs in plastic because this will cause too much sweating, and the designs will run into one big muddy mess. When it’s time to take off the paste, you should moisturize all those areas, and apply aftercare henna balm to protect your henna from wear and tear, and water. You will want to avoid water for the first 24 hours, as best as possible. Inquire to see what aftercare your henna artist offers.
• Enjoy yourself! This is the most important part. Make sure you inquire about all of the above before your wedding. You want to be able to sit back and relax. You have chosen your mehndi artist to be there for you, to be part of this intimate time, and since you have chosen well, they will work the mehndi night exactly as it should be.
