About Henna Plant

Mehndi is a paste made from ground leaves of a shrub plant called Lawsonia Inermis. It grows in countries of hot tropical climates like India, Pakistan, North Africa, Middle East and other Asian Countries. The best colour comes from the youngest leaves on top of the shoots. These leaves are dried and ground into a fine powder for different fineness, thickness, precision and smoothness. The rest of the plant is dried and ground to make hair products like hair dyes and shampoos.
