ABOUT HENNA AND MEHNDI
Henna has been used for over 6000 years to give copper reds and reddish browns to hair, skin, textiles, and leather. The active colouring component in henna is lawsone which is released when dried leaves are ground and a mile acid (lemon juice or vinegar) is added. The dye easily bonds with the proteins in hair and skin.
