I just got my jamila henna from castle art. Trying it for the first
time. Mixed it up and used some today. It started to dye my skin
almost immediately! Looks bright orange (thru the cracks) and I
think it's gonna be beautiful. I'm gonna borrow my dad's digital
camera and get some pictures. If this turns out like i think it will
i'm gonna use it at the festival I'm doing this weekend.

I also put three different types of henna out in the window sill
today to see if they turned color - wondering about that green dye
everones been talking about. I have some henna powder from Castle
Art, Amazing body art, a local store and of course the new Jamila I
just bought. I also have some of the "red henna" sample I received
from Dawn. I even had some henna from Natural Expressions but I used
it on my hair :)
I put out the Castle Art, amazing body art, and the local store
stuff. No change yet...the colors are noticebly different from the
get go though...Castle Art is the brightest and freshest looking. The
other too are green but a duller, darker shade. I tried rubbing all
of them between my fingers but I can't tell anything...they all just
powder away...no dye that I can see.
I don't think any of them are contain dye but I was curious after the
talk about it.
