I got two boxes, perhaps 100 g each. I added nothing to the henna
other than lemon juice (that's how I control testing to see
the original color....keep it simple). I did the usual NS and
overnight wrap. The resulting ruby red color was magnificent, and was
red on the top of my foot up above the ankle as well as on the sole of
my foot, where it went to red raspberry, garnet and tinged with black
raspberry. It was very different from the Indian
bittersweet-burbundy-brownish-black natural henna. I suspect it is a
slightly different subspecies, or perhaps very different soil. I
should have the pix back tomorrow. I have copies of the shipping
slip, which I can send you, but unfortunately I cannot read. The slip
seems to have their product line, their order sheet, and their
address. Their email may be down, which isn't awfully unusual for
countries where help-desk support and replacement parts are
unreliable. So far as I know, the trade relations with Iran are
loosening up just fine, but my knowledge of Arabic and Persian is next
to none. Someone at the company is fluent in English....as the emails
were courteous, businesslike and better than most I get from overseas.
If you want a copy of that slip, email me. I WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE
ACCESS TO THIS HENNA! IT ROCKS. It is an excellent compliment to
henna from India. (Needs sifted, though)
