Henna is a heavily-scented, slender, much-branched, evergreen, glabrous shrub or small tree that grows about 1.8 to 7.6 m (6 to 25 ft.) tall. The plant has greyish-brown bark. Young branches are quadrangular and green but these branches turn red with age. The stems and older branches can be spiny. Leaves are opposite, entire, sub-sessile, elliptic to broadly lanceolate, 8-44 mm long, 2-20 mm broad, glabrous, acuminate; while veins on the upper surface are depressed and have a tea like aroma.

Flowers are small, white, numerous in large pyramidal terminals, fragrant, 1 cm across with 4 petals crumpled in the bud.

Popularly called Mehendi, the henna plant is extensively cultivated in India, with its leaves being used quite often by women, as a natural hair dye, as well as for decorative body art, particularly on hands and feet. 

Promotes Hair Growth

Henna is loaded with powerful phytochemicals including tannins and phenolics. These help to stimulate follicle growth, arrest frequent episodes of hair fall and maintain a healthy mane.

Lathering an even layer of shampoo infused with henna extracts and washing hair twice or thrice a week immensely improves hair growth and thickness.

Using a henna-based conditioner on the scalp after thoroughly washing the hair helps to balance oil production on the scalp, thus enriching hair texture.

Combats Dandruff

Bestowed with antifungal traits, henna is a brilliant natural solution for treating dandruff and other microbial disorders occurring on the scalp.

Simply massage hair and scalp with henna powder paste mixed with a few drops of lemongrass oil once or twice a week. This simple home remedy instantly removes dandruff, eliminating irritation and flaking of the scalp. 

Henna comprises a wealth of hair-fortifying elements, including proteins, antioxidants and vitamin E, which vastly augment hair health. 

Prevents Premature Greying

Henna being an organic herbal ingredient, intrinsically contains a reddish-brown colouring compound and is hence a wonderful dyeing agent for covering up greying and ageing hair.

Applying a paste of henna powder with green tea extracts imparts a natural dark colour to hair, besides enhancing the growth of long, strong and healthy hair. 

Henna flowers cure headaches caused by the heat of the sun. A plaster made of Henna flowers soaked in vinegar and applied over forehead relieves the headache. 

Treats a variety of skin conditions 

Traditional medicinal uses for henna include being used as a coagulant for open wounds and a poultice to sooth burns and eczema. Fresh leaves may be used as a topical antiseptic for fungal or bacterial skin infections, including ringworm.

Henna restores the acid-alkaline balance of the scalp without affecting the natural balance of your hair. Steep henna for two hours in amla-brewed water and apply on hair including scalp to get the best results.
