Henna doesn't come in black. Black has chemicals in it, and is not an all natural product. The use of PPD (the chemical p-phenylenediamine) in black henna started in the 1990s. Henna artists experimented with the chemical substance, thinking it was a fast and easy way to achieve the darker shade as they create body art. There was little knowledge as to its side effects. As a result, many of the Henna artists' clients suffered injuries such as intense itching, severe blistering, and permanent scarring due to reactions to chemical sensitivities.
