Natural henna, derived solely from the plant, and with no added chemicals, is safe to use on your hair or on your skin. Black henna, however, contains a dye called para-phenylenediamine (ppd), and this is not safe, because it can cause dermatitis and severe allergic reactions as during pregnancy skin is very sensitive. And if you have allergic reaction, then it will become difficult to manage at 34 weeks.
