You’ve chosen the Right Henna Powder for you and your hair and are ready to mix your henna powder into a paste to naturally color your hair and cover greys. How to choose the right henna powder Measure out the right amount of henna powder needed for your hair, place the powder into a stainless steel (or glass) bowl. How much henna and Ayurvedic herbs to use on your hair? By slowly adding in your liquid of choice, mix your henna paste into a thick mud. Tip: If you’re henna paste gets too runny you can add more powder to thicken it back up. How Liquids Affect Your Henna Recipe Once mixed thoroughly allow your henna powder to sit for 3-4 hours (or 1-2 hours if using Moroccan henna) to allow for dye release. Dye Release: How much time is needed? Once dye release has been achieved your henna paste is ready to use and be applied to your hair. You can see from the photos how the color of your henna paste will change to show the dye release has been achieved. Leave the henna paste and all henna coloring treatments in your hair for at least 3-4...

How can I even begin to describe the feeling and beauty of applying a henna belly design? I don’t even know if I could find the right words. It just makes me so happy and I love moments like these. Inspired by Melanie Ooi What is a Henna Belly (Blessing)? Henna is a plant-based natural and organic dye that safely leaves a temporary tattoo on the skin for 10-14 days. Henna is used traditionally for blessing ways, weddings, baby showers and religious celebrations. Locally most of my henna belly appointments are done with the client privately, in photoshoots or at their baby shower (this way guests get henna too!). Inspired by Bella Henna A Henna Belly design can take anywhere from 45-60 minutes to complete. Most babies in mom’s tummy will bounce around and give a kick here and there as I apply the henna. It’s so fun to watch them dance while I paint. I wrap every belly with saniderm to ensure darkest and longest stain results of the henna body art tattoo. I enjoy taking inspiration from other artists and then putting my own special touches of the final design. The Henna Belly will stain a beautiful reddish tone. Seeing how beautiful the design comes out is just amazing. Henna will be a light orange tone at first and then suddenly over the next few hours (24-48 hours) the design gets darker and deepens. Inspired by Akiyo Henna Every Henna Belly design created always reflects the energy I feel from the person. I’m not sure how to describe that but every individual that I do henna for,...
