Sharjah Municipality warned of the danger of the white and Chinese henna being promoted by sales women at residential areas and social media.
According to official at the Sharjah civic body, there are many complaints about women knocking doors targeting house wives to offer these henna services at the their homes.
The white henna is strictly prohibited in the salons in the emirate because it is ingredients are unknown, but it causes harm to many women. The Chinese black henna is also prohibited in the salons because they were mixed with poisonous chemicals that could cause irritation, allergy and skin disease as well burns.
The municipality inspectors cannot prevent the henna service providers from visiting the houses, but can spread the awareness among public about the danger of these type of henna.
The municipality's inspection is continuing on the ladies salons in the city through surprise visits to detect illegal services provided to customers such as mixing up the henna with harmful chemical. Most of the inspection visits are conducted in the night the time in which the errant salon provides such prohibited service to make profit.
When the municipality receives complaints from customers about the violation of a salon, women inspectors would be sent to investigate the complaint in a secretive way, and if the salon found violating the health regulation, it would receive fine that up to Dh2,000 based on the size of the violation.
The continuous inspections of the ladies salons have contributed in curbing such illegal services. Most of the ladies salons in Sharjah are found following the rules and regulation.
Speaking to woman who had experience of using white and black henna, she said that a Chinese women knocked at her doors and showed easy and simples ways of drawing henna. "I really liked and received the services after I paid Dh150, but next day I felt itching, when scratch too much, skin started peeling of, I rushed to the doctor for treatment. I would like to advise all women to stay away from henna services promoted in the social media or at door steps. Their products include dangerous chemicals that harm the skin."
She added: "It has been noticed that large number of young girls and women are snapping up henna as it is more fashionable than the traditional red or black one. "But it is really dangerous."
Rahima , a henna painter who works in a salon, said that her salon follow the rules and they only provide services for the herbal red henna, but in her day off, the women call her to make for them black henna despite they know the fact that it's dangerous.
