It is a practice and tradition in some countries irrelevant being Islamic or non Islamic countries. The practice is not limited to Muslim women but also practiced by non Muslim women.
Henna has been known for generations and used to dye hair a reddish colour.
It is not quite the same, if you speak about natural plain henna powder, there`s powder in body art quality and powder for hair. Body art quality henna is made of leaves that were picked from the top of the plant. These were exposed to the sun a lot and therefore contain a lot of the dye molecule that you need for a satisfying colour. Henna for hair is made of leaves and plant parts that don`t contain as much dye molecules. If you dye your skin with that henna the stain won`t be dark. Those henna for hair products that you can buy from beauty suppliers mostly contain a lot of other stuff and little if any henna at all. Most of them even contain chemicals and should not be put on skin.

Pakistani people put Henna in their hands & also feet, because it marks Happiness. Maybe During Eid, or Weddings OR just Because! Arab & Indian People put it on too, but ofcourse with there on designs. Its part of a tradition. NOT religion. So anyone who wants, can Put henna on. Not ONLY Pakistani,Arab, or Indian people! Hope this Helps[:
henna is a part of the Indian religion, they put it on their hands, backs, feet and ankles in connection of their goddess.
Indians (from India) use a paste/dye called henna, that they put on their hands and feet. The patterns can be intricate flowers, paisleys, or anything really.
Yes henna can be applied to hair that has been relaxed. Just be sure that you are using real pure henna as some store henna has been altered and are not pure.
Yes. Henna is considered safe because it is natural but there are no studies either way.

If it's women in general, then the answer would be yes. But there are some Muslim women who would prefer not to shake hands. They will put both of their palms together, place them in front of their chest and give a small nod. It's the same as shaking hands. Muslim women only do this if they want to 'shake hands' with men though, especially if they are not muhrim.
I suppose you mean in powder form, Henna is never black so you won`t be able to buy it as a powder. People mix Henna with chemicals to get "black henna" which is very harmful and should not be put on skin. Sometimes people sell Indigo for hair and call it black henna but that is nonsense, you cannot use Indigo all by itself to achieve a black colour. You won`t find black henna powder anywhere, so there`s no need to be worried about that.
