Henna
Henna (Lawsonia inermis) is a flowering plant used since antiquity that allows people to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather and even wool. The name is also used for dye preparations derived from the plant, and for the art of temporary tattooing based on those dyes. Additionally, the name is misused for other skin and hair dyes, such as black henna or neutral henna, which do not derive from the plant.
