: The black dye is from a powder made from the roots of the plant. I'm not much into gardening and cultivation, but wouldn't using the roots of a plant make it impossible to reharvest it the next season? Don't you have to dig it up to use the roots? That would seem to me a reason to make black henna powder much more expensive than red or neutral, as you can only get it once, rather than over and over again. Whenever I have seen black henna in Indian groceries, it has all been pretty much the same price as red. Though I cannot read hindi or arabic, it may not be powder from the roots, it probably just has PPD added. Carrie
