Henna Heals is a Toronto-based organization managed by a group of artists who created ‘Henna Crowns’ as a form of empowerment for cancer patients.
It is often demoralizing for cancer patients who have loss their hair due to chemotherapy and the henna crowns help in that aspect by “reclaiming a part of themselves that would normally be perceived as ill or damaged or not nice to look at and making it more feminine and beautiful”, as shared by founder Frances Darwin.
The designs of henna crowns feature complex floral patterns, religious symbols and messages of blessings.
