What is Henna?
Hennia is a paste made from the plant Lawsonia inermis, also known as hina, or the henna tree. This henna paste is applied to the skin and left on to dry for approx 10 to 15 minutes. After removal of the hardened paste, the dye underneath will have transferred to your skin. Henna is option used in beautifully applied temporary tattoo’s on your body.
Henna as a Beauty Application
Would you apply henna to your eye brows? That answer is easy for me, absolutely yes, yes, yes. If you are familiar with what henna is then it makes perfect sense that if your brows are thinning, this would be the thing to thicken them.
In addition, the tint that henna leaves on your hair is pretty much the same effect on your brows. Which eliminates the need for eye brow pencils and shadows.
When we read about how the brow technician would apply the henna eyebrows we realized how easy it was. It would be very similar it would be if you were applying it to your hair.
To protect the skin, you would apply Vaseline to the areas that you do not want to stain. The tech will shape your brows first and then apply the paste to your shaped eyebrows.
Henna comes in a variety of colors to match your hair well. So that you do not end up with super dark brows that would make the brows appear too sharp.
When we did the research on the con’s of using henna one of the most common problems is the application of the henna to the eyebrows.
Because henna stains badly and the consistency can be so thick depending on your mix, being very precise in your application can be difficult.
I Use This Product EVERY Week!
To my gyals, clay has cured my skin of years of acne proned skin, improved my complexion, acne scars and shrunk my pores. This is the best clay mask assortment pack to try all my favorite kinds of clay + it's affordable.
Another issue is that the color does not last long on eyebrows as it would on your hair. How long do Henna eyebrows last? Most women have to re apply every few weeks. The color fading might be an issue. But, considering henna lasts much longer than pencils and shadows which have to be applied daily it still is a better option.
To combat the applications and length of application problems we suggest going to a eyebrow technician that can apply the henna for you. Technicians use the proper precautions such as the Vaseline we mentioned, to protect your skin.

Henna last longer
Hell to the no. This is NOT henna. This is PPD, and a great way to get permanent scarring on your face.
This would be fine with natural henna, but application and colour would be different. I’m glad you tagged me before trying it <3 soooo dangerous... let me know if you want to know more.
What’s up with this? What’s so dangerous with henna? It’s been on the narket forever in hair products. Scarring? I think this sounds great and the tutorial was fantastic.I would say matching your color could be dicey.
Real henna’s ginger/reddish brown, not black. Most commercial hair dyes termed ‘henna’ don’t have much to do with the organic henna plant (Lawsonia Inermis). Organic henna is non-allergic and somewhat cumbersome to use (takes around 2 hours to develop).
If your ‘henna’ product is meant to be mixed with peroxide activator, if it takes only a few minutes to develop, or if it’s black – it’s not the real henna, and isn’t any safer than chemical hair dyes.
Especially the notorious ‘black henna tattoos’ that run news headlines for people getting severe allergic reactions and scarring, are not the real henna. Nicole’s right in saying it’s due to PPD.
P.S. There’s a way to make your hair dark with organic henna by mixing in the Indigo plant powder. Again, this is not what commercial henna dyes rely on.
I like how the perfectional do its cost money.
I like it..
Yes who does. It and where? Not in ga
I like it
Eyebrows on fleek all day and night! It looks good!

Make sure you know what your doing you can’t exactly wash it off and start fresh lol! I would love to have it done. When henna gets old it turns a beautiful brown color.
This doesn’t seem safe. Anistssia brow gel works wonders.

All this henna, brow gel, etc….ladies I can honestly say when most men see all of these things we are doing to supposedly “enhance” our beauty they are shaking their heads and laughing. Just arch your brows professionally. Go over it every couple of days with a brow razor and keep it moving. Most GROWN men will tell you natural beauty is the best beauty.
I agree.I haven’t worn makeup,fake hair,relaxers etc…in over 6 years and my hair is past my shoulders and my skin looks amazing.My clown days are over.I know people laughed at me back then.I’m still laughing about it 6 yrs later.
Cheri, I’m sorry you think we do it for man, we do it for urselves either if we’re trendy or just want to change looks, we should do whatever we want and experiment however we want
