Henna Tattoo
Henna Tattoos offer a natural and temporary form of body art, serving as an excellent alternative to permanent tattoos due to their fast, easy, painless, and affordable application process.
Derived from the leaves of a plant primarily found in tropical climates, henna is transformed into a fine powder after drying and crushing. Mixed with water, this powder creates a paste that, when applied to the skin, leaves behind a reddish-brown stain.
It’s important to note that natural henna typically results in shades of red, orange, or brown. Be cautious of black henna, which often contains harmful chemicals that can lead to permanent scarring. We strongly advise against its use.
Once applied, henna tattoos take approximately 45 to 60 minutes to dry, depending on the complexity of the design. After drying, the paste can be peeled off, revealing a light orange hue that gradually darkens overnight to a rich red or brown.
The longevity of a henna tattoo typically ranges from 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the care it receives. Exposure to soap and water may cause the tattoo to fade more quickly, while swimming in chlorine or salt water can instantly remove it.
At InStyle Glamour Beauty Salon, we specialise in providing henna tattoos for various occasions, including corporate or school events, fetes, university open days, weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, and hen’s parties.
