The notion that henna from different countries is different colors is
another lame myth put out by hair henna sellers who are either stupid
or who think their customers are. Henna is henna and you're going to
get a specific range locked onto the single Lawsone molecule. You're
really not ever going to get far beyond that. The levels of Lawsone in
one crop change the intensity of the color, but not the color itself.
Have a look over at the link below to see where henna's grown
commercially. Under similar conditions, henna's about equal. I carry
3 kinds in turn as harvests come in and they all get the same results
(like apples from Washington, New Zealand and Argentina are all
apples, but they're harvested at different times)
