The name henna also refers to the dye
prepared from the plant and the art of
temporary tattooing based on those dyes.
Henna has been used since
antiquity to dye skin, hair, and fingernails, as
well as fabrics including silk , wool , and leather .
The name is used in other skin and hair dyes,
such as black henna and neutral henna,
neither of which is derived from the henna
plant.
Historically, henna was used for cosmetic
purposes in Ancient Egypt , as well as other
parts of North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the
Arabian Peninsula , the Near East and South
Asia . Bridal henna nights remain an important
custom in many of these areas, particularly
among traditional families.
