I re-henna my hands and forearms every week before I teach
mehandi....and every time a client asks for hennaeing, I show them how
dark the henna is on my palms, less so on the backs, and fading up the
arms. We talk quite a while about the importance of the hand in the
henna traditions, and I can usually make them understand what sort of
variations they can expect in henna on their skin. I haven't had any
complaints in darkness or blotchiness because I lean really hard on
educating every client. If they can see the difference in henna on my
skin, they usually make a decently well informed decision about their
own hennaeing.
