the henna, Lawsonia inermis, is a plant that grows and develops in certain latitudes, requires a temperature of 15° to 25° and water, but it reaches its best dyeing ability under 30°.
This plant is found mainly in Africa, the Maghreb, and Asia, as well as in Rajasthan, India. With world demand exploding, henna growers have organized themselves to switch from hedge cultivation, which is usual, to field cultivation, which is much more productive.
To obtain henna, the leaves are reduced to powder and dried in the shade to extract the lawsone molecule, which by skilful mixtures will give this or that shade.
