Henna – The Evergreen Trend
Henna patterns are becoming very popular, but what exactly are they?
For many people, committing themselves to a single permanent tattoo is somewhat intimidating. However, there is an alternative. Henna designs are a form of temporary body art that has been practiced for millennia (but has only become popular in the United States within the last few decades). It’s wise to research any form of body modification before jumping into it, so let’s get to know henna a little better & then you can decide if you want a henna design!
How Henna Works?
When we talk about henna, we’re actually talking about natural patterns. Technically, henna is a plant (Latin name ”Lawsonia inermis”) that grows in the tropical climates of Africa, South Asia, & parts of Australia. By itself, the leaf of this shrub doesn’t do much, but when broken down, it releases a pigment called lawsone. This is what henna tattoos are made of – the ground up leaves of the henna plant, which, when dried & mashed, make a dye. When the pigment in the leaves makes contact with the proteins in your skin, it stains the skin cells a rusty red-brown color & voila – you have an instant tattoo.
So, the term ‘henna’ officially refers to the dye made from the henna plant. The art form of applying this pigment to the skin in various intricate patterns is called many things across the various cultures that have used it.
There are many terms used to describe henna art, such as Mehandi or mehndi, which are derived from different languages spoken in South Asia. Don’t feel limited by the traditional uses of henna – it is an evolving art & there is always room to invent new traditions! If you feel that henna would enhance your celebration, go for it!
