About-Henna
Henna (Lawsonia inermis) comes from a plant (some call it a shrub or bush). It grows best in hot dry conditions. Many think it is the bulb that produces the dye , however it is the leaves that do so. It was very first discovered when working the the fields when one of the workers discovered it lowered the body temperature when the hands were stained.It so caught on with nice designs and is now a tradition in many countries for the bride just prior to getting married. It is used for regular temporary tattoos in the USA and Canada.
Henna is becoming well known in the United States for being one of the safest hair dyes available. It contains no bleach or harmful chemicals and will also condition your hair leaving it soft and manageable while you get deep rich color every time. Egyptian henna hair dye was among the first to reach the USA and helped derive the word “hair dye”. While all of our Henna products come from India, Henna is grown and harvested all over the world.
Have you ever wondered why Indian women have such thick beautiful healthy hair? It is because they use henna hair dyes on a regular basis. Henna “Mehndi” later became a very popular tradition for wedding ceremonies. The Brides will apply Henna to the palms of their hands and the longer the stain lasted the longer it meant the marriage would last. The new wife had no house hold duties until the Henna wore off.
Today it is used for all of the above as well as Henna Body art. There are many different ways people express themselves with Henna today: tattoos, ceremonies and tradition. What will you use it for?
