Many cancer patients can be overwhelmed with the physical and emotional difficulties of their disease, and the loss of their hair from chemotherapy treatment certainly doesn’t help. Henna Heals, a rich community of nearly 150 henna tattoo artists worldwide established by a team of 5 women in Canada, helps women with cancer feel confident and beautiful again by drawing elegant henna crowns on their bare heads:

The intricate patterns that the artists create with all-natural henna paste are a unique and empowering substitute to the hats and wigs that many women use to cover their heads after losing their hair to chemotherapy. “For cancer patients, the henna crowns really are a healing experience,” claims Frances Darwin, the founder of Henna Heals. “This is all about them reclaiming a part of themselves that would normally be perceived as ill or damaged or not nice to look at and making it more feminine and beautiful.”

The traditional South-Asian temporary tattoos, which are made with 100% natural home-made henna paste, last for around two weeks and have no harmful side-effects. Henna Heals also offers henna services for special events and does belly painting for mother-to-be, but they always donate 10% of their proceeds to compensate the cost of the henna crowns they make for cancer patients.

im not gonna be the person to say it 

I dont wanna be that person BUT….

Im gonna let someone else say it

it’s inappropriate to have a company (which was started by a white woman) profiting off mehndi which is practiced by numerous south asian cultures. if you look at photoshoots done by the company, they depict white women wearing henna on their heads AND bindis on their foreheads which is a completely unnecessary addition and only proves how this company is deliberately using south asian elements for profit, probably because of the whole ~exotic foreign beauty~ feel. cancer patients deserve to feel confident and beautiful but not at the expense of exploiting south asian cultures.

Thank you for saying this.

Yes, thank you for saying it.

are you fucking with me? “exploiting south Asian cultures”? oh MY FEELS MY CULTURAL APPROPRIATION FEELS
