red heena / green henna

topic posted Wed, May 23, 2007 - 3:05 PM by  m moon
I was wondering what the diffrence between red henna and green henna is?

I am also looking for a good place in the bay area (east bay maybe) where I can buy henna that for sure doesn't have green dye in it. I was reading about how sometimes green dye is added to the powered henna to make it look more green and it freaked me out alittle.

thnx

    The powder should be green whenpurchased, and the resulting dye will be reddish brown.
    As far as I know that would be the only color explanation.
    We sell very fresh henna imported directly from the growers. It is body art quality and works wonderfully, guarenteed to be dye , sand, twig free.

        Yep, Catherine is very knowledgeable and has generously shared all that information with evryone.
        We are a listed supplier on that page and Jessica just returned from teaching for Catherine in Las Vegas for one week.
        What a great experience that was for all levels of artists.
        There is always something to learn.
