The problem you run into then is that if you did distribution like
other hair dye methods, the henna would pretty much gaurenteed be
stale by the time anyone bought it. Perhaps buy a space and have a
display with mail-order stuff and website links, to ensure that the
freshes possible henna is available even to those without computers?
