A henna question...

About three years ago, I bought a couple boxes of Light Mountain Henna
(the "Color the Gray" kind since that was all they had) at Whole Foods
with the intention to henna my hair. My resolve failed, but I was
looking over the box recently and noticed something I'd forgotten
since I bought it.

In the box are TWO bags of powder. The first is the "conditioning"
step, the second is the "coloring" step. The first is olive green and
just looks like old henna powder. The other, the coloring step,
doesn't look much like henna to me, unless it's henna with green dye
in it--it's sort of a light almost sea green color. Yummy. But, that
is not the part I'm asking about anyway.

Anyway, my question was whether anyone has used the Light Mountain
before, because I was thinking the "conditioning" step looks like it
might either be "neutral henna" or old henna that wouldn't stain any
more, and I figured I could at least use that to condition my hair
even if I don't want color. Has anyone used this kind before, or
knows what the "step one" stuff is? I'm going to try to do a strand
test, but the last time I tried to do one I didn't get much in the way
of results so I'd hate to think this wouldn't color my hair and then
use it and come out flaming red, so I figured I'd ask. :)
