HENNA APPLICATION FOR HAIR
The history and origin of Henna is hard to trace. With centuries of
migration and cultural interaction, it is difficult to determine where
particular traditions began. Some researches argue henna originated in
ancient India while others claim it was brought to India by Egyptian
moghuls in the 12th century. Still others will contend that the
tradition of applying henna to the body began in the Middle East and
North Africa in ancient times.
The word Henna has its
origin in the Arabic word Al-Hinna. Henna produces a red-orange dye
molecule. This molecule has an affinity for bonding with protein, and
thus has been used to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather, silk and
wool.
As a healing plant, henna conditions, cleanses, colors and cools the
skin. When applied to hair, it has the same effect. Millions of Asian
and African people regularly apply henna to their hair as it helps to
cool the scalp in the hot summer months. It is very unusual for anyone
to have an adverse reaction to natural henna as it is one of the safest
cosmetics ever used, but if one is concerned then a patch test could be
the answer.
In non-traditional American & European pop-culture, henna
decorating is practiced by men and women alike. Mainstream America
remains fascinated with body adornment and beauty practices from other
cultures.
