Rules:

Any photos or videos of any non-natural henna will be removed, if not specifically posted as a health warning.

We will NOT condone of any postings or comments that approve or encourage people to buy toxic commercial cones or other products of non-natural henna. Any such posts will be removed.

This includes any form of "black henna", red henna, white henna, henna containing PPD or commercial dyes or toxins, commercial tube henna, emergency henna, etc.. It will also result in the person being removed and/or banned.

ONLY post photos of your OWN henna body art work, or that was done on you by a henna artist using natural henna paste. Do not post promotional info in the title; you can post your credit info in the comments. Any other photos absolutely MUST credit the original artist; otherwise they may be regarded as "stolen" and removed.
Only photos of natural henna body art, or henna on hair will be permitted. "Henna-inspired" art in other mediums are not on topic and will be removed, as well as other off-topic photos and discussions.
Any photos, videos or discussions of Jagua or henna-jagua blends will be removed. This group is about ONLY pure henna, not jagua.
NO posting of links to video tutorials. All blogspam, Insta-spam and YouTube-spam WILL be removed and the poster will be banned for spamming. Any blatant commercial self-promotional behaviour, posting affiliate links, self or friend linking promos, or spamming such as self-promo YouTube links will be removed and the poster may be banned.
Spamming the site with numerous personal, business or commercial promotional images, videos or other links is not tolerated. Over-posting can get one moderated, muted, or, in some cases, even banned.
Posting ads as main links will lead to being banned. We prefer to encourage reputable henna artisan vendors selling pure BAQ henna powder. No recommendations or links to vendors from Amazon, eBay, Etsy; as they are known to often sell fake/counterfeit products, or unknown/mixed/added ingredients. No links to any companies that sell "black henna" either as a powder, or in commercial cones. These comments and/or links will be removed.
No posting of non-factual info regarding natural henna We will not tolerate those who post non-factual info or details concerning the usage of natural henna. We will not allow lies, myths, or untruths to perpetuate regarding the use, properties and results of using natural henna powder or paste.
No further discussions on: Cultural Appropriation, Exploitation, etc. The above topics have already been “hashed to death” on this sub-Reddit, and the majority of active long-term members do not wish to have it resurface time and time again whenever new members come along. As a result, all future discussions/threads of this sort will be locked and/or removed. If this matter interests you, we encourage you to use the search function to find previous discussions of this topic in the sub-Reddit’s archive. We thank you for your cooperation on this subject.
