Mara Organics Pure Henna Powder is made from the finely ground leaves of Lawsonia inermis, a traditional botanical dye used for centuries in natural hair and beauty rituals. When mixed with water, henna releases lawsone, a natural pigment that bonds with hair keratin to create beautiful warm copper, auburn and reddish-brown tones while enhancing the appearance of shine and softness. Beyond colour, henna is valued in natural haircare for its conditioning properties and its ability to support a healthy-looking scalp. It can be customised with ingredients such as hibiscus, coffee, black tea or indigo to achieve different colour tones while creating a nourishing herbal treatment.
