Is it better to just use the suppliers on this forum for beginners(who will undoubtedly make many mistakes)...I have only tried two
types of powders here!
You might as well use the good stuff and get body art quality if
your using for both body art and hair. There are several advantages
to this. Any leftover from doing body art, throw it in the freezer
until your ready to do your hair. (applying at the roots and at the
face line with a cone makes that little chore to doing your hair a
lot easier) By using the better quality you shouldn't have little
problems like henna with lots of leaf/stem to try and wash out of
your hair as well as take the chance of that stuff clogging up your
drain. Also if you are just begining doing the body art and useing
it in your hair as well you can get a kilo of powder from most
vendors and store it in the freezer then pull out what you need for
body art and/or hair and mix it up. You spend a little more in one
lump than buying it by the useage, but in the long run its cheaper
plus you know you have good powder on hand when you want.
What about the powders on the website "EverydayHenna" (sp?)... are
they as good of these here?
I haven't bought from them so I can't say. I can only attest to any
of the Castle Arts brands and Kenzi's moroccan henna powder both
being very good. As far as I know they are both listed in the
suppliers list.
I just noticed that they have allot of different named powders than
are what are on here with supposedly many different uses. Also am
curious about the Sam Yemen Henna....curiousity killed the cat, of
course! Why is it so hard to get his henna??? Very curious about
this problem....is it a shipping problem??
A lot of sellers name thier henna powders by the region they come
from (or any other reason they choose) so have different names for
different powders. Sam Yemen henna (or Yemen henna) is typically
super stringy great for laying down long lines in body art. I used
it for my hair because I couldn't get used to the stringyness and it
was faboo for that as well. From what I have heard the gentleman who
ships it, Sam Yemen, is difficult to get ahold of, nail down on
delivery dates and so forth unfortunately so not many people are
willing to go through all the hassle for his henna powder. I'm not a
vendor so I don't know first hand about dealing with him, so please
don't take my word as the cold hard truth, just repeating what I
have read from other vendors who sell his brand of henna powder in
the the states.
Hope this answers a few of your questions!
