ABOUT NATURAL HENNA
Henna is a beautiful art where henna paste is applied to the skin.... it is thousands of years old and is said to of originated from Ancient Egypt, it has an amazing and beautiful history in India where it is called Mehndi, Mehendi. henna is also used widely throughout the Near, Far and Middle East (Persia, Iran, Iraq, Dubai, Morocco and North Africa).
Henna is now global and you can find it in every country world wide.
WHAT IS HENNA?
Henna is a natural paste which when applied to the skin stains the top 'dead' layer of the skin. It is made from the ground leaves of the Henna plant (Lawsonia Innermis), water, small quantities of tea (the tannin in the tea helps the henna stain darker) and small quantities of essential oils such as close and eucalyptus give the henna paste the most beautiful herbal aroma
WHAT COLOUR IS HENNA?
Natural henna comes in only one colour, BROWN (or variations such as a reddy brown) . There is NO SUCH THING as safe 'Black henna' which contains nasty chemicals (PPD) which can cause nasty reactions.
WHAT IS WHITE HENNA?
White henna is AWESOME! It is NOT henna, white henna is a MICA PASTE (made from fine white mica powder and gel) white henna is an immediate wash off, unfortunately due to trials using white henna we do not offer this service as the lasting results are poor
S HENNA SAFE?
Natural henna is totally safe and is a skin conditioner which improves the softness and condition of the skin. It has been used for thousands of years as a skin and hair conditioner. All Henna cones and skin dyes used at WiseRoots Henna services are 100% safe and PPD (chemical) free
HOW LONG DOES HENNA LAST?
A henna stain usually lasts 5-15 days. The design will gradually wear off as the top dead layers of skin flake off. Once the henna stain is on your skin it is very hard to remove. Golecha skin dye dyes darker quicker and wears off faster (usually 2-3 days) if you require a stain that doesnt last as long as natural henna
At Wiseroots Henna we use and sell two Skin Dyes:
NATURAL HENNA
and
GOLECHA BURGUNDY SKIN DYE
both are safe and PPD chemical free

HENNA APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
- Allow to dry, avoid the henna paste to touch any other object including fabric, clothing and hair etc
- Leave henna paste on skin for a minimum of 2 hours, can be left on the skin for 6-16 hours, remove before bedtime
- You can Apply a humidifying glaze of sugar or sugar and lemon juice to adhere the paste to your skin for longer
- Avoid water at all times during henna application
- Caution Henna can stain ANYTHING!
- Allow to dry fully before removing
- if you need to remove for any reason wash with soapy water
- To remove: Scrape off dried henna over a sink or bin using a credit card edge is a good way to remove the paste
- Cover the stain in natural oil (ie. olive oil, coconut oil etc)
- YOUR HENNA WILL STAIN ORANGE FIRST and will stain into all dead skin cells so the longer you leave the paste on the skin the deeper the stain will be
- Henna will stain the feet and hands the darkest, the further away from these areas the stain will lessen in strength as the skin is thinner in other areas of the body
- your henna will last around 7 to 14 days and will fade gradually, during this time if you want to remove quicker expose your design to water and gentle exfoliation
