I tried a similar thing when I first got into henna; it was the
Rainbow or Light MOuntain brand I believe. Never got more than a
bluish/greenish/greyish light stain that i thought looked good on my
skin, but i never made it get any darker, even w/black tea. This was
the beginning of my early frustration with henna, but then again from
normal henna all i could get was a pale orange. Oh yeah - a local
natural dye expert also told me that was henna mixed with Indigo, and
that indigo is not good for you. FYI. good luck

: I found black henna powder and brown henna powder at my local health

all
: natural with no chemiclas.
: I bought some black and tried it out but the stain was pretty light,
: even though it was a black/gray instead of orange. It only lasted a
: couple of days.
: My idear is to add this black henna with pure henna to give the pure
: henna a little darker stain. Do you think this would work?
