But is applying on kids’ hands safe? Let’s jump into the side effects of it
Mehndi or Henna is commonly known as temporary tattoos and for the most part, it is an extremely safe practice that can be done on children as young as three years old. However, not all henna is created equal. Some henna contains deadly chemicals that can cause severe and permanent scarring on the skin. Mehendi has been used to dye fabrics and decorates bodies throughout countries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East for centuries. Brown henna, which is most commonly used for temporary tattoos, is created by grinding dried henna leaves into a powder and then liquifying the mixture using water as well as minimal oils. Brown henna tattoos typically last between one and four weeks—and in almost all cases, this type of henna is extremely safe for human use for all ages.
- Although henna obtained naturally is free of chemicals, in some cases PPD (Para-phenylenediamine) is added to henna mixtures to intensify the color and lower application time. But what most people are unaware of is the fact that PPD is a powerful allergen and its contact with the skin might trigger an allergic reaction.
- Common symptoms that you may experience include wheezing, itching, redness, burning, and swelling of the skin.
- Symptoms of an infected black henna tattoo may appear immediately, however, it’s also possible for them to appear one to two weeks after the temporary tattoo was put onto the skin. There are a variety of symptoms that go along with a reaction to a black henna tattoo, including itching, blistering, burning and pulsing sensations, swelling, tenderness, and increased sensitivity.

- It must be understood that applying mehndi on your skin or hair is not necessarily safe. The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, has received multiple reports from consumers who experienced long-lasting and severe side effects from the application of henna for temporary tattoos.
- Its side effects include but are not limited to, red lesions that are raised and weeping, loss of pigmentation of the skin, blisters, increased sunlight sensitivity, redness, and permanent scarring
- Children suffering from a rare condition called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, should stay away from applying henna on their hands. In this condition, when henna is applied, red blood cells tend to burst, leading to severe health complications. If this occurs, it is a case of a medical emergency and should be shown to the doctor at the earliest.
However, in order to eliminate all of the sideffects it would be better not to apply Mehendi on kid’s hands as they are very much sensitive as compared to adults, and even if you want to make it the only choice then the best solution for it is too first to know about the product before using. If you are buying mehndi to use at home on your skin, make sure you examine each ingredient listed on the label. Avoid any color additives in dyes to be used on the skin. If you are getting henna or Mehendi tattoo from a tattoo artist, make sure you inquire about the ingredients in the dye they will use on your skin.
