RE: Jagua Mandala 💮

Stunning! I've used red and black henna for years but never heard of blue henna! I'm going to have to keep an eye out for that <3

Thank you for sharing!

@dayleeo. This is NOT "blue henna" this is JAGUA.
Jagua is a complete different plant dye than henna, and it stains the skin blue.

Henna is not red or black either so you probably were using chemically adulterated henna cones. Natural henna is dark brown when applied and it leaves a brown/marooon stain that lasts from 1-4 weeks, I recommend you to always get fresh, natural, homemade henna paste if you ever wanna practice henna again, because store bought henna is usually infused with very harsh chemicals that can burn your skin, create permanent scars and/ or organ failure/damage.
I am always happy to guide you if you need a reputable supplier!

I am very happy you liked my art & thank you for commenting!

I understand, just was using henna as an over-arching term. Thank you for your astute correction.
