The ancient art of Mehndi uses a mixture derived from the crushed leaves of the Henna plant to create beautilful patterns on the skin. Henna was first recorded as being used over 5000 years ago by the Egyptians, originally used for its cooling properties, the famed Queen Cleopatra is thought to be the first to utilise Henna for purely cosmetic purposes by adorning her eyes - a look still popular to this day.
The use of Henna is well documented throughout Turkey, Greece and the middle east at least 2000 years ago and became popular with brides. Although not yet used as a form of decorative art, the Henna was applied to the palms and soles of the feet in order to 'draw out' the heat. This usage was to calm the anxious brides by targeting the hottest areas of the body.
It wasnt until the opulence of the Mughal empire during the 1500's that Henna started to be used aesthetically, something that was quickly adopted by the flamboyant states in Southern India, where Henna was first used exclusively for beauty.
Product Quality
The quality of henna cones is usually the biggest concern of brides-to-be. Most have had some bad experiences with stop / start cones that continuously block and lumpy product that produce shaky, blobbed designs. Worst on the list is the seemingly futile lottery of colour quality - faded orange / yellowy tones are a huge disappointment to the overall bridal look, when the rest of you is so glamourous! At last the guessing seems to have been taken out of the equation with the world renowned Henna artist, Ash Kumar, whose AK range now includes the Bollywood Henna cones.
Having tried many different cones myself from the cheapest multipacks to the more expensive products, these cones, which are mixed to order, are in my opinion, superior to any other products I’ve used. The primary benefit has to be the depth of colour, a beautiful deep claret, something which is consistent with each and every use. The henna leaves are filtered into a talcum soft powder and blended into a velvety paste containing simply water and pure eucalyptus oil.
We order our henna direct from the AK group where it is freshly mixed, batched into cones and delivered within days - ensuring we are using the freshest products on our brides
