: : Can you tell us where you got your henna? Can we get some from : them? : OK, this is the story ... my aunt went for a holy pilgrimage to Mecca : somewhere last month. I knew (from experience) how good henna from : Mecca was (I remember how I used to display deep dark reds on my : fingertips all thru' my school holidays when I was younger). I asked : her to get some for me, and the wonderful soul (bless her !) got me 1 : kg of green henna and 2 packets of brown henna (the packet shows that : it's for hair altho' there are pictures of mehndi-ed hands on them : *shrug*). : To be honest, I don't know where this henna is originally from. It may : be from India and was brought and sold in Saudi Arabia. All my aunt : could tell me is, she bought it from one of those MANY stores that : sells henna there. Henna is ALL over the place there. It was my luck : that she's got some good stuff (BLESS her soul !) ... : If you'd like to try, I'd be more than happy to ship some to you (or : anybody else who wants to try it :)). I live in hot, humid Asia so I : guess that does play a role in how deep the stain was. But I'd LOVE to : know how the colour would turn out at the other side of the world :). : I'm gonna wait for another person to make the pilgrimage there and : have them get more for me and at the same time, get the contact of the : store that sells it. I just hope that it's the same store that my aunt : got it from :) .... : In the meantime, write me with your address and I'll ship some to you : (FREE!). I'm happy to share !!! I'll get my pictures online soon so : that you guys wouldn't think that I made this all up ... hehehe ... ;) : A word of caution : The henna is EXTREMELY coarse (I had to sift it 3 : times thru' nylons). : Till then, peace to all ... : ~Jewel~ Jewel, I would love to try your henna! I live in San Jose, California US. Here is my address. Thank you! ;) Kristen Brazil 1597-B Meridian Avenue #119 San Jose, CA 95125-5337
