Sri Lavender Multimart

My cousin loves henna art and when we passed by this shop in Little India, she simply had to make a pit-​stop to pick out a tube of henna paste for herself. It isn’t a very big store — there were clothes on display on a rack in front of the store, boxes of henna hair mixes, henna paste, jewellery, shelves of colourful, sparkly bangles to jazz up the ethnic Indian outfit and more traditional Indian outfits inside the store. I’m not allowed to sport any tattoos, whether permanent or temporary at work, so I didn’t buy any henna paste for henna art for myself. Instead, I got a packet of henna hair mix to dye my hair with. Yeah, it is messier than getting someone to colour my hair for me at a hair salon, but it’s way more affordable and provides me with something to do if I’m bored. The staff are polite, amiable and ready to help.
