Henna Ball and Tozali Magazine Award Night.

What is Henna and why Henna Ball?

Henna, a common name for a small shrub (See Loose stripe) used for dye that is obtained from its leaves. The shrub, which is also called alkanna and mignonette tree, grows in most places in northern Africa and southern Asia. It bears small, fragrant, white or rose flowers in clusters. The orange red dye produced from its leaves is used extensively as a rinse to impact to reddish colour and sometimes deep brown or black to hands, legs or hair.

Many traditions across the world associate designs made by the henna dye in palms and feet with marriage ceremony. Tozali has chosen the word HENNA as a title of the event in celebration of African rich heritage, hence the event’s theme, ''Celebrating Women, Creativity and Philanthropy". 

The event: 

Tozali Magazine is a monthly publication with a wide range of distributorship network covering most parts of the country. Essentially a society magazine, Tozali touches every aspect of life, ranging from news, life style, health, beauty/fashion and tourism.

In its bid to play the role of a responsible corporate citizen, Tozali birthed the Henna Ball and Tozali People’s Awards initiative as a platform through which to effectively impact on the lives of the less privileged. 

This year’s edition focuses on celebrating women who have contributed selflessly and immensely in various fields of human endeavour. The award segment would recognise, celebrate and honour Nigerians who have contributed to the uplifting of the lives of their fellow men and women, especially the less privileged.
