Henna Tattoos |
There's a product known as "Black Henna" that some people are using for the temporary staining of the
skin.
Here are some things you should know about this dangerous product.
1) "Black Henna" is natural Henna mixed with a synthetic black hair dye containing para-phenylendiamine.
Para-phenylendiaminecan (also commonly known as PPD) can cause blistering, open sores, scarring, and
lifelong health problems. Natural Henna produces a lovely reddish-brown color.
There is NO such thing as "natural black henna".
Para-phenylendiamine based black hair dye should never be put straight on your skin, plain, or mixed with
other material. Synthetic black hair dye is illegal to put on skin, because it's not an approved use. Even
when this dye is applied to hair, people must wear gloves, and they try to not get it on the scalp.
PPD/Para-phenylendiamine can seriously injure people, as it's a strong sensitizer, transdermal toxin and
potential carcinogen.
PLEASE!!!! Ask questions before allowing anyone to apply anything you don't understand or recognize. Ask
to see the list of ingredients. All professional face & body artists should carry a list of ingredients and the
original container. Be an informed consumer. Protect yourself and your loved ones. When in doubt, go
without.

| *** WARNING ON "BLACK HENNA" *** |
| KAT'S AT FABAIC THIS YEAR! She'll be an Asst. Instructor in the airbrush room. Stop by and say, "Hi!" |
| darker your henna and make it last longer. You cover the DRY henna paste with two layers of toilet paper, then wrap or cover with saran wrap/plastic to protect the design and insulate the area to get it warmer and hold in the moisture/sweat. The warmer the skin, the darker it will get. (no microwaving..please LOL) You do NOT want the area to get too moist, so no saunas or hot tubs. Try to leave it on for at least 4-6 hours, then pick the dried henna paste off the skin (don't wash!) and lightly coat the area with a natural oil (Vegetable, olive, corn or canola. NOT baby, suntan or mineral oil!) Do not wash the area for 24 hours after removing henna paste. The skin will oxidize, much like a cut apple or banana, over the next 24-48 hours. Cocoa butter or Shea butter are excellent moisturizers. It will disappear after 2-3 weeks. |
