WINNIPEG HENNA ARTIST
Lori Fast
I've been doodling since I could first pick up a pencil. As my doodles evolved, I discovered the art of Henna. The patterns I enjoyed doodling were similar to the designs I saw in Henna tattoos, so it was a natural transition for me to begin using henna as an extension of my creativity and art.
I began playing with henna in 2013 and absolutely fell in love with it. Mostly self taught, I love exploring different cultural designs and creating my own unique style. I've taken classes with someone the worlds best artists and studied abroad in Northern India.

Henna History
The Art of Henna is a well known tradition, used for over 5000 years in India, Africa and the Middle East. Henna has been used to decorate the body and amplify ones beauty.

HENNA's MEDICINAL PROPERTIES
Did you know that the henna plant has a wide range of medicinal properties and has been used for various ailments dating back as early as 1500BCE. It's more than simply a dye used for cosmetic decoration. It has antimicrobial and antibacterial affects and has been used for eons to treat a wide range of skin disorders.
Henna can heal wounds, and is effective on burns, frost bite and is a natural sunblock.
The oil from the henna plant can be used to heal arthritis and cure liver disorders. To name only a few of it's healing qualities, this is likely why Henna is called the "magic plant", and also the reason why you feel so good when you have henna on your body.
WHAT IS HENNA?
Henna is a plant that grows in hot climates and stains the skin a deep earthy red tone. I make my own henna paste, to ensure no harmful chemicals are added. The powder comes from Rajasthan, India. I add only an essential oil like lavender or tea tree oil, some water and a table spoon of sugar to help make the paste be sticky.
Henna stains can last anywhere from 7-14 days.
