The earliest cosmetic use of henna (lawsonia inermis) was in Egypt, where the people would dye their hair and nails,
and a Pharaoh's fingers and toes would be dipped before mummification. Once the henna plant's cooling properties were discovered,
painting the skin and dying the hair with henna became a way for the people in desert climates to cool their body temperature.
For centuries mehndi has been practiced in Africa, India, Asia, the Middle East,
and Central Eurasia for various ceremonies and celebrations.
Today mehndi is still practiced in many diverse ways, from eccentric body decoration,
to healing ceremonies... Mehndi is a Magical Art
