What does the henna smell like?
Henna paste has a strong herbal smell. Some prefer the smell others do not.
How to use henna on hair?
To apply henna on hair, you will need only the henna powder and several simple-to-gather items that you probably already have around the house. Avoid using metal bowls or utensils for mixing, as they can react with the natural henna.
Does it hurt to apply henna to the skin?
No! Whether for everyday application or special celebrations, painting henna on the skin is a painless beauty treatment. It is a pleasant and relaxing experience. The most difficult part of getting a henna design is sitting still for the time required, which can be anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the complexity of the design.
Dos and Don'ts For Natural Henna
- Do store Henna in a cool, dry, dark place.
- Do test your hair's elasticity before applying henna. Pull off a single strand of hair, wrap it around index fingers, and stretch. If the strand does 
not increase by a minimum of one-third, the hair will need preconditioning.
- Do check commercial henna hair products for pesticides and heavy-metals .
- Don't use henna in the area of the eye, your eyebrows, or internally.
- Don't use henna on newly chemically treated hair; it may cause unplanned hair variations.
- Don't coat the hair with henna right before getting a perm. Henna can restrain the activity of the perm chemicals and thus, reverse the perm's results.
- Don't use black henna that contains para- phenylenediamine (PPD). It can cause serious inflammation of the skin.
