Description
Henna is so much more than a form of temporary body art.
Henna is nature - seeds sprouted into shrubs, leaves kissed by tropical rain.
Henna is colour - the orange of juicy mangoes, sun-kissed brown, or as black as the feathers of crows.
Henna is fragrance - earthy and nutty, lemony and clove-y.
The intricate patterns of flowers, feathers, vines, and other symbols painted and stained onto skin has been a tradition in cultures all around the world for thousands of years. Beautiful and eye-catching, henna also carries the scents, textures, and colors of family and identity.
