• Lawsonia inermis (Henna) – The principle coloring pigment of henna is Lawsone or 2-hydroxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone (naphthalene-dione), which is present in dried leaves at a concentration of 0.5 to 2%. It binds strongly to protein of the hair, which makes dye to be very durable and resistant to wash. Other chemical compounds of henna are flavonoids (luteolin, acacetin) and tannins (gallic acid, tannic acid) which contribute to fix the pigment during the hair dying process.
