Henna
is a shrub, which, has been traditionally used to enhance the
looks and personality of both, men and women. In the modern
times, Henna has lent itself to be transformed into various
forms to suit hair care, hair colouring, body decoration, and
other embellishments. Use of Henna began thousands of years
ago in Asia but now Henna Products can be seen worldwide.
With the increasing realization amongst consumers to
use safer (in other words “Green or Natural”) products, Henna
has gained tremendous popularity. Being a purely natural
product, use of Henna is safe and harmless. The US
Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) has issued a monograph
that approves Henna as a natural hair colour. Henna is one of
the select group of products to achieve official US FDA
approval.
Besides hair colouring, Henna is
also used to decorate hands and feet with temporary tattoos.
In some societies, Henna has traditionally been used to
decorate hands and feet on auspicious occasions like marriages
and festivals. The western world is now using Henna to create
temporary tattoos, more popularly know as “Mehandi Body Art or
Henna Body Painting”.
