I agree with you Seesee. Just because it cam from a granny it
doesn't mean it's safe. When I lived in the Middle East, my mom was
given a recipe from her neighbour and the recipe called for
gasoline. We tried it and it worked. I did the design on my palm
and left it on for a few hours, then took it off before I went to
bed. When I woke up in the morning the design was almost black.
That was the only time I’ve ever used gasoline when making my paste.
And I don't think I ever will; now I know better. I don't think some
of the locals there cares what they put on their mix as long as they
get the dark colour.
Anyway... just be careful when using products that promise dark stain
within minutes. The powder has probably been chemically enhanced to
give the dark stain. We are looking for that dark staining miracle
Henna powder like we are looking for the pot of gold at the end of
the rainbow. Just like the pot of gold, that miracle powder
probably doesn't exist.

: because it's granny's doesn't mean its safe...they used to use coal
: tar derivatives to dye the hair black before they knew any better.
