Hi! :)

I wasn't sure about the Herbique brand since all pictures of mixed-up
henna I have seen have shown that goose-poop green mix, whereas this
one comes out reddish-brown and with an almost instant orangey stain,
but the powder certainly smells right. I imagine the darker hues must
have some other herbs in it though, as you say, but that's fine.
Although, I did find that even their darkest hue didn't make the pesky
greys as dark as the Brun nuance from Lush. I suppose I might try
using the Herbique as a base and the Brun over it; that seems to have
come out quite well too. For me, the cocoa butter has worked well,
since I have dryish hair anyway, but it might very well be the reason
the colour doesn't take or stick as well.

However, ordering a large quantity over the net and freezing does
sound like a good approach. So far, since I have only coloured small
sections of my hair, I have needed very little and been concerned
about ordering too much and having it go stale, but if I am doing all
my hair I'll definitely use a lot more, as its quite long (although
not that thick).

Do you know of any specific suppliers in the UK or US that ship to
Sweden? Or is that something most of them seem to do? :)
