I Mixed this powder up for my hair, as well as for my hands and feet. Yielded a beautiful stain after leaving it on for 5 + hours and a very short dye release (2 ish hours). I only wish they'd had a more recent harvest, I find the smell of henna gets worse and worse with age, but it stains just as dark as the 2022 batch i made before this. Fresh. You must always buy fresh henna powder. If you want a great stain, don’t just grab henna off the shelf (since who knows how long it may have been sitting there) Even from crop to crop you will notice that the freshest henna powder gives the best stain results. After all, doesn’t a chef use the freshest ingredients in the preparation of our meals? Our Indian henna is cultivated in Western India in a region called Sojat Rajasthan.

For my second try, I have been "marinating" my henna from All India Store for first 5 and then 12+ hours (as mentioned above), and I still have no dye release. I sifted all the henna by hand too, and I have been hoping for nearly a month to use it on my mother (a senior citizen). I bought the squeeze bottle, the shower caps, heat cap, the lemon juice, and sifted the pulp out of orange juice just so that my mother has a pleasant henna experience. Henna hair dyeing treatments should be repeated every 4-6 weeks or root touch ups as needed in between colorings. Henna can be used to create a gloss or conditioning mask treatment that can be done every 2-3 weeks. Henna might loosen your curl pattern, should this apply. You can add amla or zizyphus powder as treatments to enhance and maintain curls and volume. We highly recommend that aloe vera powder is added or one of our hair oils to your henna recipe for added moisture as henna can be drying without. Unfortunately, I am allergic to mold so I could not use the indigo. Do you have any other substitute?

Another great henna powder is Yemeni henna powder, but unfortunately, it is hard to find in the market. Yemeni henna comes from Sana's region of Yemen. The dye takes 10-12 hours to develop and 3-4 hours in the application process. Yemeni henna was mostly famous for its body art quality features. I have fine, blonde hair and I apply henna to just my roots every 2-3 weeks. The result is an even, rich red color that is truly permanent. Please note that the end result of any henna application is affected by your natural hair color.
