It sounds truly strange. I would trust your intuition that there is
something odd with this henna. If it were just an old batch you
would just see a lighter stain, not bleeding and strange sticky
consistency. In that sense, henna is not that mysterious...just a
powder made from leaves.
As someone else said, the bleeding may be caused by too much
moisture, but you would also notice that the paste was not dry but
ozzing out past where you put it initially. And I can't imagine that
normal pure henna powder, even if it where old, would stain toenails
grey. I remember when you posted that comment before and no one
seemed to have ever heard of such a reaction.
I have heard of some people having problems with their orders from Al
Muhajabat (never arrived or arrived late, couldn't get in contact
with anyone there), but others have had no problems at all with
them. Maybe they will answer an email if you ask them what's in the
henna. You do have the right to know. If they insist that it's a
secret recipe, you probably should stay away. Hopefully they will
disclose what is in there.
I will be bringing back some henna from my trip to Morocco. Take a
look at my site for more information and if you want me to put some
aside for you, just drop me a line (there are email links throughout
the site).
