Best Henna near me in Sunnyside, Pretoria

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.

Natural henna is brown or olive in colour and is generally safe to use, but we always recommend doing a patch test first, to see how your skin responds to it. Be careful: black henna (also known as PPD) is a chemical version of henna; it is banned for use on the skin in some countries, because it can burn and damage the skin.

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.
