: OK.. so how do I know what quality it is? And what do you mean by
: disaster?

If you get your henna from me or one of the suppliers here, there's
nothing in the powder but henna. That's crucial. So many of the
boxed up hair henna mixes don't have a complete list of ingredients
... and if there are metals in the henna (compound henna) the metals
will interact with the synthetic dye. For instance "If there's copper
in the henna you've used, your hair will start to boil, the hair will
be hot and smell horrible, and the hair will disintegrate." ... that's
the reaction of your compound henna has copper in it.

See the link below, lower down on the page, and always test before you
do your hair!

What's in some of those boxes........
