Key Facts Henna (Mehndi) Mehndi, commonly known as a henna tattoo, is a natural, temporary way to decorate the skin using a dye made from powdered henna leaves. Known for its beautiful, detailed designs and naturally cooling feel, it’s often used on hands and feet to get ready for parties, festivals, or just for fun. It has been used for centuries across South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa to adorn the body for weddings, festivals, and other celebrations. How to Use a Henna Cone Make sure your skin’s clean and dry. Pull out the cap – you can snip the tip if you’d like a thicker line. Gently squeeze to draw your design – freehand or with a stencil. Let it dry, then leave it on for 20 minutes to a few hours. Scrape it off when it’s dry – Don’t wash it off. The stain will darken over the next day or two. Note If you have sensitive skin, we recommend doing a patch test before use. Apply a small amount to a discreet area, leave for 24 hours, then wash off with soap and check for any reaction. For external use only. Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.
