Henna dye creates natural, reddish-orange to brownish-red hues on fabric, binding well with protein fibers like wool and silk, and moderately with cellulose fibers like cotton. The process involves using henna leaves (Lawsonia inermis), which contain the pigment lawsone. The final color and dye fastness, or resistance to fading, depend on factors such as the dye bath's temperature and pH, the type of fiber, and the use of mordants like alum, which chemically fix the dye to the fabric. | ML141 |
