Henna is a plant-based dye derived from the pigment in henna tree leaves. To harness the pigment, the leaves are dried, ground into a fine powder, and blended with oil or water to create a paste. It’s this paste that’s then piped onto the skin to create a henna tattoo.

A henna tattoo is a temporary body art design created using paste made from the henna plant. The paste is applied to the skin in intricate patterns and, once dried and removed, leaves an orange-to-brown stain that fades naturally over 1–3 weeks.

Natural henna tattoos typically last 1–3 weeks depending on body placement (hands and feet last longest), skin type, and aftercare. Avoiding soaking in water and applying coconut or olive oil can extend the life of the design.

Many henna artists offer event bookings for parties, markets, and festivals. Browse and book henna artists for events near you on Fresha.

Henna dye tends to last 2 weeks before it starts to fade. However, the longer you leave your newly applied henna on your skin before washing, the more time it has to be absorbed, and the longer it lasts.
