Henna, Mehndi is also known as Lawsonia inermis. It has been known as the natural source of the dye, besides having medicinal properties. Henna powder is made into a paste in water and used for skin decorations, tattooing and hair dyeing. Herbal based hair dyes are being preferred on large scale; due to the vast number of advantages it exerts to overcome the ill-effects of a chemical based hair dye. We have attempted to prepare and standardize this preparation to ensure its quality as well as stability aspects. The herbal dye was prepared in-house according to the proposed composition, using all the natural ingredients. The dye was evaluated for its organoleptic, physico-chemical and stability parameters. Today most of the human beings are very careful about their beauty and hairs play an important role in this. Herbal drugs without any adverse effects are used for healthy hair. Nearly 70% of human beings above 50 years struggle with the problem of balding and graying of hair.
