Hina

Hina is used during bridal nights in Sudan. It's an important ceremony or custom before the wedding. Watch out! I do not mean my previous blog, The Wedding. On the night of Hina, relatives and close friends come to share the bride and the bridegroom their joy. Some of them pay money for the relatives of the couple. Girls sing songs while dyeing their palms and the palms of their love ones.Hina is used during bridal nights in Sudan. It's an important ceremony or custom before the wedding. Watch out!

Our country and the neighboring Egypt are famous of producing Hina. China and India also produce it. Hina or Henna is a plant with flowers. It needs a hot climate to grow. Its leaves grow opposite each other on the stem. I do not know about its scientific name, but according to my friend Adam, he is an agricultural engineer, it is called (lawsonia inermis). It is the species of the lawsonia genus. The leaves of the tree are dried and crushed. Water and other liquids are added to the powder to form a sticky paste.

 

The paste can be applied with many traditional and innovative tools, starting with a basic stick
In some Arab countries, but the syringe is widely used. The Indians use plastic cones, and cones are used in the western world. In a few minutes time, the stain of hina will appear on the skin within minutes.
