Henna or arjeña 1 (from the ar. Hisp. Alḥínna, and this from the Arabic الحناء al-ḥinnā´) or henna or jena is a natural reddish dye that is used for hair and is also used in a coloring technique of the skin called mehandi. It is made from the dried leaf and petiole of Lawsonia alba Lam. (Lawsonia inermis L.). This dye is commonly used in India, Pakistan, Yemen, the Middle East, and North Africa. The patterns of the mehandi are quite complex and in some cultures they are used as a bridal ornament. In the West, it has been used, although not widely, since the 70s.
To prepare the henna paste, the leaves are crushed to a brownish green powder and mixed with essential oils and lemon juice that release the dye from the leaves and sugar to give consistency. When applied to the skin, the dye turns pale orange and darkens over time to a reddish brown. In some countries, especially India, henna paste is sold in cones already ready for use. The duration of the dye varies depending on the thickness of the skin, but it is only days.
