Henna tattoo kits for chemotherapy hair and eyebrow loss

An unavoidable and unfortunate side effect of most chemotherapy drug treatments is hair loss. In making the best of a bad situation, Chemo Chicks features tattoo kits to adorn your head, re-create your eyebrows and have some fun with your temporary baldness.

The product, Earth Henna Body Painting Kits, is based on Mehndi, the art of henna painting on the body, practiced for thousands of years in India, Africa and the Middle East. For a bit of fun folklore, Chemo Chicks shares that the crushed leaves of the henna plant used to make henna are believed to bring love, luck and prosperity. Henna tattoos are painless and not permanent -- the henna tattoos fade gradually over weeks.

According to the Earth Henna tattoo kit product description, the henna paste lasts 4-6 weeks once mixed; contains enough henna to do two head tattoos or many eyebrows; and comes with head patterns and eyebrow stencils -- or you can create your own.
