Review on Merlion Naturals Henna Leaves Powder – 100% Pure and Natural Hair/Beard Dye (8oz, 227g) by Andrew Hare

This organic henna leaf powder is of good quality. It has a strong, fresh smell and a pleasantly tart, herbal taste. It is rich in nutrients and is ideal as a conditioner and color for hair repair. Henna leaves are traditionally used to make pigments for intricate line designs on fingers, palms, and feet (henna tattoos). They also dyed human hair, horse manes and tails. In ancient Egypt, mummies were wrapped in cloth dyed with red henna. Henna leaves have been used as a gargle for sore throats and as an infusion (soaked in hot water) or decoction (boiled in water) for diarrhea. The leaves are very astringent; they prevent bleeding and promote menstrual flow. In one patch, henna treats fungal infections, pimples and boils. You can use this henna powder in many ways due to its many benefits for the body. I'm excited to combine it with indigo leaf powder to create a black color for my mom's gray hair. This is a much safer, cheaper, and more natural solution to chemical dyes available today.
