Henna is a plant that grows in very hot, dry climates such as Morocco, India, Pakistan, Egypt and Yemen. This plant is used for traditional body art, sometimes called mehndi, for dyeing hair naturally, for its medicinal properties, and for art.

 

Sooq is Arabic for marketplace; hence, Henna and Sooq came together as one becoming the henna marketplace: Henna Sooq

 

With only $150 to buy 50 boxes of henna with 4 children aged 6 and under in tow, Khadija and Jamal took a risk to start Henna Sooq. With those 50 boxes of henna powder and a flimsy website filled with paypal payment buttons, they dropped their very first product.

 

Khadija first fell in love with henna after using Moroccan henna powder for her hair that she had discovered in a Moroccan shop in Montreal.

 

The Moroccan shop was filled with the most beautiful of Moroccan ornaments, clothing and traditional beauty products. With her curiosity to learn more about henna, Khadija decided to take a henna body art workshop to learn more. The henna body art class turned on the flame of her creativity and then in turn began the creation of Henna Sooq.

Henna Sooq is a wonderful story untold in humanity that is exceptionally talented and caring about others. Her work in henna is quite significant, and I have seen alot of henna in my lifetime. She uses originality in her designs and her designs convey the human touch and invigorates the human spirit in her creative works which is sadly lacking in today's unpersonal inter-country business world via integrating globalization of generian sameness. Her designs also convey love to all through paisleys and intricate designs of all sorts in most wonderful and deeply cultural ways the world really needs more of. Keep doing what you do best Henna Sooq!
