n the context of art and aesthetics,
decorating one’s body using henna
is closely aligned with modifications such as tattooing and scarifications. Henna (also called mehndi)
painting is often erroneously referred
to as henna tattooing. Henna, a dye
made from the dried and ground plant,
lawsonia inermis, is made into a paste
and painted on the skin. It is not permanent.
Henna painting as an art form provides a non-threatening and tangible
approach for introducing Islamic culture into an art class. This ancient art
has been found on five-thousand-yearold mummies in Egypt and Indian
cave paintings in the Punjab Hills of
Kangra.
Henna is a symbol of good omen
and enhances the auspiciousness
of specific events such as weddings
and festivals. In Muslim weddings,
women, particularly brides, show off
their intricately henna-painted hands
and feet. Eid, the festival celebrating

Mehndi body art is popular throughout the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, especially in India. It is used for special occasions. For example, in traditional Indian weddings, the bride will have a henna party the night before the ceremony, during which her hands and feet are painted with fine-lined lacy, floral, and paisley patterns. Other occasions for use include pregnancies, births, circumcisions, and religious holidays.  In the last two decades, henna has become popular in the West, too. I know I’ve seen “henna tattoos” offered at fairs and beach shops.

Stephens, who just recently returned to the U.S. after spending two years in India, was inspired by the intricate beauty of this traditional art form, but she innovated it in two ways: (1) She used henna narratively rather than simply decoratively, and (2) she put it on a canvas instead of on someone’s skin. Unlike traditional mehndi, Stephens’s mehndi tells a story (it’s not just there to look pretty), and it’s fixed in a permanent form (henna tattoos last only a few weeks).

Henna is used to dye hands and feet and it is the crowning glory of the traditional Asian bride as the images reflect but it has some disadvantages:

To achieve the rich colours the paste needs to be left on overnight making sleeping and eating inconvenient
When the fading process starts it looks patchy and unappealing
Certain professions for example catering and medical can be averse to having henna "on show"
If you want to have the "henna look" that is removable in minutes - mehndi mica
In the 21st century henna has spread into the modern western culture. Henna artists can be found in all spheres of western life and they have introduced new "body parts" to be worked on!

Like the belly...back of the neck..top of the head...

Henna is now prevalent at music festivals, hen parties, goddess parties or simply at a girly get together.

The ritual painting and decorating of the human body began in pre-history and henna as a tool for this art was particularly prevalent in the cultures of North Africa and the Middle East. From here it spread to South Asia. Over the centures it has developed to become an intricate art form rich in symbolism. Also known as “mendhi” , it is a mark of prosperity, fortune and happiness and is used to celebrate weddings and births and at festivals of Teej, Diwali and Id.

In modern times, celebraties such as Madonna, Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings), Gwen Stefani have brought henna into vogue.

Henna or “lawsonia inermis” is a shrub that can grow up to 7 m high at its tallest with a greyish brown bark. Its wood is close grained and hard with almond shaped leaves, brown pea-sized seeds spherical in shape and sweet scented creamy-white flowers.

       The whole henna shrub is used:

• Wood to make tool handles and tent pegs
• Leaves for skin and hair dye and in traditional medicine
• Seeds and flowers for traditional medicine, oil and perfumery

For body art, the henna paste is made up of henna powder, lemon juice, sugar, tea essential oils like lavender, cajeput and tee tree, rose and sandalwood. The paste is then coned and the design is applied in the same way as caked are iced!

The final colour stain achieved is unique to each individual depending on their body heat! The warmer you are the darker your stain.

Traditionally, the art of henna application has been a predominantly female practice. This probably accounts for the lack of documented information regarding its historical use; it was not considered necessary for women to read or write in a lot of the regions where henna has long been popular until quite recently in historical terms. Instead, the local knowledge and skills required to carry out this traditional form of body art have been passed down from mother to daughter over time, for generations, going back far longer than anyone can remember.

To date, the oldest documented use of henna for cosmetic purposes comes from Ancient Egypt some 5000 years ago, where henna was used to decoratively stain the hands & feet (including nails) and to colour and condition the hair. Traces of henna have been found on the nails of mummified Pharaohs, and there is further evidence in illustrative form. It is widely thought that having hennaed hands and feet in Ancient Egypt signified prosperity and promoted well-being.

Since Ancient Egyptian times the use of henna as a cosmetic product has spread throughout the Eastern World. Traditionally, henna has also been used as a medicinal treatment for a wide range of ailments, including headaches & eczema. Though henna does contain antibacterial and cooling properties, today it is not the recommended ‘cure all’ that it once was!
