Henna Cones
Some of the students were asking about the mehndi designs that I had on my hands and were asking if they could try it out as well. In school we choose to work on paper, however if you decide as a family that you want to try it out, below are the directions to the grocery store where I purchased my henna cones.
Henna is a type of plant that is ground up to a powder and used to make a dye. The dye will temporarily stain your skin for a few weeks, depending on how long you leave it on initially and how old or strong the henna is. You can purchase the cones at the small grocery store below. They are kept in the fridge and are sold for less that 3 dollars a piece. Ask the clerk for a henna cone and I have found that they are happy to grab it for you.
Please Take Note:
- This small grocer is located in the corner of the strip mall near the asian grocer and dumpling house restaurant
- This particular grocer only takes cash
- The store is closed on Mondays
- The henna will stain your skin for a series of weeks
- Use at your own risk, I have used this brand for years with no reaction, but please try a small amount out at first, just as you would with any body paint.
