It is safe, as long as you are using henna you mixed up yourself from
plain fresh traditional henna powder. That way you can be certain
what's in it, and allow for potential allergies.

However, some people have had good results with hennaeing heads, some
have not. Skin over the cranium is thin, and often very oily. These
things cause a poor henna stain. If you can really seal down the
henna, (NS, latex, LS, whatever) and add lots of extra heat (heating
pad, wooly cap etc) you greatly improve your chances of having a
good-looking head henna.
