Its leaves are dried and then powdered to stain hands by creating beautiful designs and also to cover grey hair. Those with less grey hair get a gorgeous copper tint, while those with more grey hair have an orangish tint.

However, henna is not a solution for just coloring hair but also to treat many scalp issues like hair fall, frizziness, oil buildup, etc. When used as a hair mask, henna nourishes the scalp with nutrients, and many herbs can be added to the paste.

Henna cream, a ready-to-use paste, is now available in the market. It comes with premixed herbs such as Amla and extracts of Jua, Babacu oil, Guarana, Cumaru, Copaiba, Jaborandi, Acai, etc., found in Amazon rainforests. It comes with an easy-to-use applicator that makes the henna application a mess-free experience.
