1) What is henna?

​

Henna comes from crushed leaves of the plant Lawsonia inermis, also known as henna tree. It is a temporary body art that stains the skin from the dyes. Henna will last approximately 1-3 weeks based on the aftercare, which is very important for darkest henna stain. The stain will gradually darken over the course of 48 hours due to oxidation. It will stain orange to brown color. It is been used to adorn bodies as a part of celebrations as well as for fun and beauty. Originally it was just used to cool down body temperatures in summer which later turned into intricate designs.
