Exactly. Just hennaed my hair again this afternoon and that's the
same thing I noticed in mine. Was probably the Rajasthani "dulhan"
(aka bridal quality) henna that I dumped into the mix. Can't
pinpoint for sure, though, since there was leavings from 4 packages
and they were all unmarked or generic.
But, as Catherine says, azos are not a huge deal unless you're
allergic. Some brands of henna are stopped by the FDA in customs as
being known to be adulterated via colorants, and I suspect that's
its these same azo dyes. Catherine?
