Bald. Bold. Beautiful.


Three words that describe so well the women wearing their henna crowns and which are also part of this wonderful book published by Henna Heals — a social purpose business offering henna crowns as an alternative to wigs and scarves, for people suffering from hair loss due to alopecia or cancer treatments.

The book is filled with beautiful henna photos taken by photographer, Frances Darwin — who is also the founder of Henna Heals —, as well as a few of my own henna portraits. The company is based in Toronto and the henna crowns are provided by three talented henna artists: Nadia Bukhari, Holly Monster and Tarquin Singh.
