Mihenna

What's in the box: A typical kit pairs natural henna or jagua paste or powder with reusable non-slip sticker stencils for applying designs at home.

Mihenna is a US online shop that sells DIY henna and jagua body art kits. Founder Shalina Jaffer created it to make a celebratory part of her Indian heritage easy for anyone to try. The range includes henna tattoo kits, jagua tattoo kits, henna powder, sticker stencils, a henna freckle kit and a henna hair dye kit. The brand puts ingredient quality first. It describes its products as all-natural, vegan, cruelty free, made in small batches and sourced from growers, with no chemicals added. These are the company's own claims, and the site does not point to independent testing. For beginners, the main draw is the non-slip stencils. They give you a clean design without freehand skill, and the site calls them kid friendly. Mihenna works like a regular store and does not clearly describe a recurring subscription, so expect to buy kits one at a time rather than get a box on a schedule. Orders over $50 ship free within the US, and the packaging is described as recyclable. A blog called The Daily Mihenna offers design ideas and tips. As with any henna or jagua product, do a patch test before use. Also avoid anything sold as black henna, which is a different product with a known risk of skin reactions.
