Thumbs up Henna

I really like Henna when its just applied and new, but hate it as it starts to wear away.
I prefer the black Henna, i was also told there are many other colours coming out too!

I've heard that Moroccan women have their hands and feet henna'ed for their weddings. Is it done for other events also, or just for fashion? Until I met my husband, I never new it was a Moroccan thing-- I thought it was just Indian.

Henna is quite common on women's hands and feet for weddings, special occasions, or even just for a treat.
Henna has a religious importance in Islam,with a Bride there is a whole ceremony that goes along with it being applied. Women gather together and sing or chant while the henna is being applied, and eat special foods that go with the henna spiritually. After the first woman is hennaed, the other women at the ceremony each apply a bit of henna as well.
