henna
Temporary tattoo paste
Henna is a reddish-brown dye derived from the leaves of a tropical shrub, used for centuries to color hair and create temporary body art.
The intricate designs painted on hands and feet, especially for weddings and celebrations in South Asian and Middle Eastern cultures, are also called henna or mehndi.
She got henna done for her sister's wedding.
The plant itself shares the name.
As a verb, to henna means to dye with this substance: I henna my hair every few months.
