Sugar Editorial Picks
Definition: Henna
Henna is a natural orange, burnt-reddish nonpermanent dye. The tannin, or staining pigment, comes from the dried leaves and stems of the henna (aka lawsonia inermis) plant found in India, North Africa and various parts of the Middle East.
Henna is commonly used in body art (usually on the hands, face, and feet) and it can also be used as a hair dye.
