: Hi Catherine,
: It's been almost 2 weeks since my henna and my hair has finally
: arrived at a color I like. I'm going to henna again in another 2 or
: 3 weeks and I heard that henna from India gives more of a darker
: brown color. Is this true, and if so, do you sell this kind?

Henna from India is no more guaranteed to be darker than "oranges from
America are guaranteed to be sweeter". India's a big place. Some
places grow good henna. Some don't. (Minnesota doesn't grow good
oranges) And, like oranges, it might start out sweet, but after 3
years in the back cupboard .... no fun anymore.

I rotate hennas ... whatever crop is working best. Just like grocery
stores rotate apples from Washington and New Zealand in turn. One of
the hennas I have is from India, but ... like I say ... I rotate with
harvests. They all stain about the same. INTENSE.
