: Need to know if you can use henna hair dye for body art. Figure you: can use it to get different colours.
Henna sold as hair dye is a lower-quality product than henna for
bodyart; henna that will barely leave a stain on skin will take
beautifully on hair. (I started hennaing in the late 80's, when henna
for hair dye was all there was... had to do multiple applications to
get anything resembling a stain on skin!)
As far as I've seen, the henna for hair dye that comes in a
multitude of shades does NOT take on skin. At all. (I tried Light
Mountain henna hair dye in black, a number of years ago, and it left
nothing but a greyish smudge on the skin.)
If you want different shades of stains on skin, you can use older
paste to produce a lighter stain, and a second application on parts
of the design to make them darker.. or you can use different hennas.
I've heard that Kenzi's Moroccan henna gives a different color
quality than the Jamila or Castle Art henna (but I haven't tried it
yet! Hopefully she'll bring some to Sirius! :-)
