You are writing an essay on Henna, right? Well then, maybe you can write about the uses of Henna, how it's cultivated etc. The research question can write as 'Henna' and then you will write all the information about Henna.

Well, it's a chemistry essay, and hence I need to have to an experiment or chemistry related involved...Listing the uses of Henna will not be enough, but thank you for being the first and only one to offer me some advice.
