How mehndi/henna dyes hands, hair, etc.?


PROF WAQAR HUSSAIN












      
             The henna plant contains lawsone (2,4 Hydroxy-1,4-naphthaquinone) which is a reddish-orange dye that binds to the keratin (a protein) in our skin. The lawsone gradually percolates from the henna paste into the outer dermis of the skin or hair and fasten to the proteins, developing a fast stain. The tinge of colour ranges from pale orange to nearly black depending on the quality of henna, duration of paste remains on the palm before wiping it off and nature of  ones skin.   Good quality henna, brand new, freshly prepared and acquired from plants of hot and dry climates; will stain the darkest.
