you're right, but it's "black" henna you have to avoid. Regular henna, which is a red-brown, is perfectly safe.
I make mine with henna powder, strong black coffee, and eucalyptus oil. Then you squeeze it on, and cover with a very sticky mixture of lemon juice and sugar (or spray on hair gel, which is a lot less messy).
