Celebrities such as Madonna, Demi Moore, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Liv Tyler, Gwen Stefani, Elijah Wood, Prince, Sting, and others have brought henna’s popularity to the US and UK. It is a staple on boardwalks, beaches, resorts, and pretty much anywhere anyone wants just one more excuse to show a little skin (or partially enhance the skin that’s already showing).

Bridal henna, as it is practiced in Middle Eastern countries, is comparable to a having a manicure or pedicure done before a Western wedding. Traditionally, a bride is not allowed to perform any work around the house or otherwise until the henna applied to her hands and feet have completely faded. This form of henna is has been passed down through the generations and remains today as important to both those honoring past tradition – and those who just want to add that special something to their wedding day beyond the normal French manicure.

Belly henna is the practice of hennaing pregnant women. Hennaing in the late trimester is supposed to encourage a safe and healthy delivery, and is believed to protect both the mother and child from evil spirits. Because the pH level a woman's skin will change while she is pregnant, the paste may not dye the skin as dark as it would otherwise. However, the intensity of the stain will vary from woman to woman and is usually darkest during early trimesters.

Henna conventions, conferences and retreats are a great way for practitioners and enthusiasts alike to spend some time with those who share a common bond through henna. One such convention is the Las Vegas Henna & Body art Conference held in Sin City. Others are the UK Henna Conference and the Pacific Northwest Henna Conference. These conventions offer lectures, courses, and seminars for practitioners to hone and refine their craft.
