Mehndi, or Henna as it’s commonly referred to, is a form of temporary tattoo that’s created using a natural dye (lawsone) extracted from the leaves of the henna plant. Also known as hennotannic acid, lawsone sinks deep into the skin, lasting anywhere from a few days all the way up to a few weeks.Colors varying from light orange to black can be achieved depending on how long the medium is left in contact with the skin.
