Hello all,
I wanted to respond out of clearity and not disrespect, to information found on the "black Henna" disclaimerpage.

There is a such thing as black henna, and I don't mean what popular salons might use to change the color of your beautiful tatu's (tattoo's)to any color of the rainbow.

This colour is mostly seen in North and East Africa, in countries such as Morroco and the Sudan. If you go into most Middle Eastern markets in your area, when asking for a box or bag of henna, they might ask you "Red or Black?". What you will see in powder form will be green, however once mixed and applied to your skin...you guessed it, the end result...black henna.

So it does exsist. Just because it's not mentioned much, doesn't mean it's not true. Just like how most henna web sites only use India to speak of for the orgin of henna being used in design (and/or for cooling purposes) in India. Neglecting to mention the countries in Africa that use it as well. The designs used may differ but it's henna!

So, if anyone has any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to write me: MsProverbs31@aol.com or just post here.

I'll try to find some web sites to support the true (not recent commercialized) Black Henna. Or feel free to ask your local Moroccan or Sudanese friend. :o)
