: Is there any use at all for old, stale henna -e.g., has it any
: conditioning value? Being a verra thrifty Scots lass, I dinna want
to

bin
: it without a qualm. Thanks!

First, darlin', just bite the bullet and buy fresh good stuff, it's
soooo different and as I have been a hennaing for over 25 years the
voice of experience should have some credence...however, I
understand your thrift (after going through the single mom bit and
ekeing by it's difficult for me to toss). A Solution: purchase the
quality henna and mix a teeny bit of the old stuff in to assuage
your concience and it will not likely muck up the result. I have
been using Everyday Mehindi for hair, as I had a gift certificate
from Amazon and as I said, it's just soooo good, mixes and applies
well, good stain etc...but will buy from Catherine when this runs
out...I just touched up my roots and all today (I'm going to a 4 day
music festival in the mountains...yay!) and admit I cut my mix with
a teeny bit of Avigal Red henna I had around, just to stretch
it...came out great, no orange, just deep complex red/auburn and so
soft...
