BTW I'm not going to slander anyone who has done it in the past and that, I just want to make a post on my instagram to tell people what henna means to me and why it bothers me when it's done by people without knowing the cultural meaning, and ofc I can only speak on the meaning of it to me as an Algerian!

That didn't answer my question but yeah! I'm just asking for people who are part of cultures that use it what they think of it, just to expand the opinions in the post I'll make. :-)

as an indian i don't see why white people getting henna is cultural appropriation? i know it's deeply rooted in indian culture (and other middle eastern and african cultures as well) but it's also a cool way to get temp tattoos and if ur having fun with it i don't mind
