Abstract

We have a desire in common to live long keeping beautiful. Although our lives become affluent thanks to the rapidly-changing civilization, in the contemporary age, a wide range of diseases develop owing to stresses or environmental pollutions. Thus, a more healthy and beautiful cosmetic technique emerges in recent years. Cosmetic stores use hair manicure or henna products to satisfy customers` needs. In reality, cosmetic treatments are being made with the aid of hair manicures and henna. The former is used in order to smoothen hair tissue, while, the latter of natural ingredient is used in order to pursue natural beauty. Hair manicures are consisted of film, treatment, preservative, surfactant, and pigment. Henna is made of chemical substances. Originally, Henna was classified into miscellaneous goods.

Therefore, this research thesis made a comparative analysis of color, tensile strength, solidness, shape and ingredient of Gardenia Seeds, in an effort to review henna.
