Where it comes from
Sojat to Singapore, in five steps.
Most of the world’s henna is grown in Pali district, Rajasthan, where the dry soil and hard summers push the lawsone content higher than anywhere else. The leaves are plucked, dried and ground, then sifted at least three times — that is what makes a powder fine enough to hold a thin line. It is stored dry, mixed here with sugar, essential oil and water, and left overnight for the dye to release. The paste is sifted once more before the cones are rolled, because a single unground fleck is the difference between a clean line and a broken one.
What happens on your hands is the last step of a long process, not the whole of it.
Five drawings. Swipe, or use the arrow keys, to move through them.
What happens after you leave
Henna does not finish
in the chair.
The paste is dark olive. What it leaves behind is orange, and it keeps developing for about three days. Judging the colour on day one is the most common mistake.
Paste off
Bright orange
The stain looks alarmingly light. This is normal and it is not the final colour.
12–24 hours
Red-orange
Oxidation begins. Keep the area dry and warm, and away from soap where you can.
48 hours
Deep red
Close to peak. Palms and the soles of feet take the darkest stain; the back of the hand is lighter.
72 hours on
Maroon-brown
The colour you keep, then a slow fade over roughly one to two weeks as the skin renews.
No “black henna.” Natural brown henna only, and you can inspect the product label before anything is applied. Nothing here will ever be the black paste that burns.
Depth varies with skin, body warmth and how long the paste stays on. Follow the written aftercare given at the appointment, and read the henna safety notes before booking if you have had a reaction to henna, hair dye or fragrance before.
