Henna on hair

Though you can generally assume that it is safe to henna a healthy female over the age of 12, do not henna a child or infant's hair without first consulting your physician to determine the child has G6PD deficiency.

Do not use henna on any juvenile who has G6PD deficiency.  Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD deficiency) this is an X-linked recessive hereditary disease featuring abnormally low levels of the G6PD enzyme, which plays an important role in red blood cell function. Individuals with the disease may exhibit nonimmune hemolytic anemia in response to a number of causes, and one of these is causes is exposure to henna. Males are more likely to be harmed than females. G6PD deficiency can be determined by a simple blood test administered by your physician.
