There seems to be an endless supply of new fads and trends that people enjoy nowadays. But there is a new one that is a little different from the rest: henna.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHenna is a plant, and it is grown mostly in India,\u201d junior Molly Rossman said. \u201cIt depends on a hot climate to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Henna dye is a substance taken from the plant of the same name. If prepared properly, a brown dye can be obtained from the plant. It has been used for centuries, ever since the Bronze Age, but it is now coming to DHS. Girls have been using this to draw various patterns, the dominant one being flowers, on their arms, hands and legs. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve done random flowery designs on my hand,\u201d Rossman said. \u201cI did the Assassin\u2019s Creed symbol for someone on their shoulder.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Henna serves as a sort of temporary tattoo. Usually lasting one to two weeks, it will allow artists to be able to draw patterns on themselves without it washing away immediately in the shower the next morning. DHS students are able to express themselves using henna to draw body art without the commitment of a permanent tattoo. The reason for its sudden popularity increase is at least partly due to the modern improvements of its preparation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI took a class over the summer at the Creative Spirit Center and a woman taught us all about henna, and I just think that it\u2019s really cool that you can use a dye and you can make your own tattoo that won\u2019t be permanent,\u201d Rossman said. <\/p>\n<p>Students have been able to find henna through the internet, as the dye cannot be made in Michigan. The idea of having a tattoo has always been enthralling to teenagers, but often they don\u2019t want to commit themselves to a permanent one. Rossman agrees that henna\u2019s temporary but long-lasting nature has contributed to its sudden surge in popularity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s because that (henna) is not permanent, I think people really like that aspect of it,\u201d Rossman said. \u201cIf it\u2019s done on the palm of your hand or on the base of your foot, it\u2019ll (last) about a month. If it\u2019s on any other part of your skin, they can promise for sure a week, but it depends on the quality of the henna.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many girls have used henna because of its unique look, and it allows them to look different from the norm. Sophomore Hannah Dressen was able to order some off of Yahoo, and has been using it ever since.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just think it\u2019s a really cute thing, and it looks adorable,\u201d Dressen said. <\/p>\n<p>Whatever the reason for using henna, DHS girls can all agree that it is fun to use and it\u2019s a great way to express themselves. Several girls have used it, and it doesn\u2019t seem to be going away anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a neat idea that we are harnessing something that is natural,\u201d Rossman said. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to hurt you as long as you use the right type.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The temporary tattoo substance makes its presence known at DHS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[41,42],"class_list":["post-2647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-3feature","tag-feature-stories","tag-student-activities-dow-high"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Henna popular among students - UPDATE ONLINE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2011\/12\/henna-becomes-popular\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Henna popular among students - UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The temporary tattoo substance makes its presence known at DHS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2011\/12\/henna-becomes-popular\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DHSUpdate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2011-12-15T23:47:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2011-12-31T22:40:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Update\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Update\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2011\\\/12\\\/henna-becomes-popular\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2011\\\/12\\\/henna-becomes-popular\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Update\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/be39f258dafaaac3e98f5951fe5e9198\"},\"headline\":\"Henna popular among students\",\"datePublished\":\"2011-12-15T23:47:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2011-12-31T22:40:39+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2011\\\/12\\\/henna-becomes-popular\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":538,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Feature Stories\",\"Student Activities Dow High\"],\"articleSection\":[\"FEATURE\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2011\\\/12\\\/henna-becomes-popular\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2011\\\/12\\\/henna-becomes-popular\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2011\\\/12\\\/henna-becomes-popular\\\/\",\"name\":\"Henna popular among students - UPDATE ONLINE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2011-12-15T23:47:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2011-12-31T22:40:39+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2011\\\/12\\\/henna-becomes-popular\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/\",\"name\":\"UPDATE ONLINE\",\"description\":\"H.H.
