Sharee's Hands

Women henna in every country in North Africa, down the west coast of Africa, and in every Muslim community in Africa. Coptic Christians and Jews in Africa also henna. 

Hennaeing a woman of color is challenging, because you have to adjust the pattern to complement the tone - on - tone character of henna on dark skin.  Also, women who use oil on their hair, or who straighten their hair, typically do not take stain well on their fingertips.
