THE HENNA PLANT is a woody shrub that grows in the deserts of western and southern Asia and the Middle East. The henna is a natural occurring dye that is used to dye hair. Catherine Cartwright Jones has a wonderful page about using henna for hair at: http://reverndbunny.sphosting.com/hair.htm. Castle Art only imports pure 100% henna powders (no additives unless otherwise noted). Also our henna has no twigs or big leaf pieces.

There are other uses for henna, but that is usually for religious occasions such as Eids, Diwali, Holi and weddings. For weddings in India, the henna is finely ground and made into a paste. Then the brides hands and feet are decorated, very intricately, with the henna paste about 3 days before the wedding. It is said that as long as the stain is there, the bride does not have to do any work until the stain is gone. For more information on Henna, please visit www.hennapage.com.

CASTLE ART & IMPORT carries henna paste, henna powder, henna paste and powder, kits, stencils and bindis. We also carry jewelry, tapestries, and temporary tattoos. We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
