Henna in the West Indian Islands (like Barbados or Trinidad) is done
by immigrants from India. However, every person has their own taste,
and my recommendation is to take every pattern book you have and let
the people have their own choice. (Not every ethnic Indian likes
curry...... some prefer fried catfish and collard greens.) (And vice
versa.) Never make presumptions based on ethnicity, even with
henna .... always go in with an open mind, and then absorb everything
you can.... and LET US KNOW HOW IT GOES!
