For thousands of years henna has adorned and beautified so many women for just about every special occasion (men do it too sometimes!). Weddings would have to be the most popular of those occasions.
Henna isn’t always for those who have a traditional background with henna. Myself, Khadija, have absolutely no upbringing with henna. Many will presume what my background and culture may be. Looks can be deceiving 🙂
No I’m not Arab. Not Moroccan either. Definitely not Indian. I’m actually half guyanese, and half italian. We never did henna once while I was growing up, and neither did any of the generations before me. I took to henna body art in 2005, and have been using henna for natural hair care for over 10 years now.
This is an amazing plant brings thousands of years of tradition, cultures and people together. That is the one major reason why I love henna, and why I love to do what we do here at the Henna Sooq. My passion fuels our work.
I like that many celebrities enjoy henna body art, and have shared this with the public. They also share with us natural henna, and I often don’t see black henna body art, which is very harmful.
Halle Berry. Yes, henna is safe for pregnant women. In fact, we do a lot of henna belly art clients, and henna is the natural alternative to chemical hair dyes which we recommend during pregnancy.
Katy Perry. She had her henna done in India for her wedding.
Vanessa Hudgens
Beyonce. I would love to do henna for her. Hoping to get a booking with her! (Henna Sooq owner Jamal’s cousin, Lisa Logan does her nails, along with many other celebrities. View her website: Lisa Logan NYC). Did you know that Beyonce had henna done for her marriage to Jay-Z?
Chrisette Michele. She also has an amazing interview at Curly Nikki. Must read!
