FAQ's
Have questions about booking a professional henna artist or body painter for your Phoenix-area event? Whether you're planning a corporate party, a kids' birthday, or a private session in Gilbert, Scottsdale, or Chandler, here are answers to the most common questions about Tessa's organic henna tattoos and non-staining body paint alternatives.
Henna is a natural dye made from the leaves of the henna plant, primarily used for body art and hair coloring. When applied to the skin or hair, the dye binds to keratin, a rich, reddish-brown color that can last for several weeks. The process involves mixing the powdered henna with a liquid, usually water or tea, to create a paste which is then applied in intricate designs or to color hair. Once dried the henna paste is removed, revealing a beautiful stain that deepens over time.
I purchase fresh, organic, hand mixed, henna paste from a local master mixer, Minal Beauty. It is made with only the highest quality ingredients available. I believe if you begin with excellent ingredients, you’ll have excellent results!
Minal Beauty starts with triple sifted body art quality natural henna powder and add lemon juice, sucralose and pure aromatherapy quality essential oils. The paste smells incredible, is smooth and creamy and stains beautifully.
The answer is yes; you can apply henna safely during pregnancy. In many customs, henna is applied on hands and even on the belly to celebrate pregnancy. The pure form of henna has no side effects and thus applying mehndi during pregnancy is extremely safe for you or your baby. However, you may apply henna for its other beneficial properties also. It brings down the body temperatures and helps cool your system. It is beneficial for curing cracked heels, fungal infections and it also nourishes the nails.
For a deeper, richer color, consider leaving the henna on your skin for an period. After removing the henna, applying clove oil or mustard oil can enhance the darkness and longevity of the stain. If those oils aren't accessible, coconut oil or olive oil are excellent alternatives. The henna is a result of a chemical reaction with your skin's proteins, and applying heat can speed up this process, resulting in a stain. You can use heat packs or steam on the dried henna paste before removal to achieve better results.
With proper care, your henna stain can last between one to two weeks. In some rare cases, it may extend up to three weeks, depending on the placement and care. Cleaning the skin with rubbing alcohol prior to application can enhance the skin's ability to absorb the stain, while using natural oils can help protect it.

The longer you let the henna paste work its magic on your skin, the richer and deeper the stain will be! While my top-notch henna delivers fantastic results in just 1 hour, I highly recommend keeping it on for at least 4 hours—overnight application is truly the ultimate way to go! Personally, I love applying henna in the evening and letting it sit overnight for that perfect, vibrant finish!
