I recently came across the below article on the Huffington Post website:

"One organization is using all-natural ingredients and artistry to help women coping with hair loss.

Henna Heals was started by Canadian photographer Frances Darwin in 2011 as a small group of volunteers in Toronto, and has since grown to a community of 150 artists worldwide. Those artists use safe, temporary dyes to paint intricate designs on their clients' heads -- after about two weeks, the henna designs fade away.

The organization offers professional henna "crowns" and photography services as a way to empower and heal people experiencing hair loss, and to help them feel beautiful and confident.

"For me, Henna Heals is a passion project," Darwin told The Huffington Post in an email. "I strongly believe in the power of art."

Many of the women who use Henna Heals have alopecia, a non-life-threatening, autoimmune disease that results in partial or total hair loss. Some other women who use the service are experiencing hair loss as a result of chemotherapy treatments.

"This now is just one more empowering move, really, to just sort of become comfortable with who we are," Karen McKinney, who got a henna crown with her daughter, says in the YouTube video above.

"The application of the henna felt very therapeutic, not unlike having a massage," Jana Buhlmann, a Henna Heals client, told HuffPost. "My sense of self was very strong afterward: I was compelled to take selfies until the stain faded."

You can see the video of their experience by clicking the below link:
