Greetings,
Over the last couple of years I have lurked around here, I have seen
posts regarding Halawa Henna. Some like it, some don't.
When I started doing this, I wasn't happy with the quality of my
henna powder and when I saw this kit with the decent book in it I
purchased it. This is the only henna kit I have ever bought and it
was the one that had Halawa Henna in it. I got a really decent stain
from it, and was happy that I had finally acheived darkness, but
unhappy that they were nearly impossible to order from.
Anyway, on April 7th my pregnant friend had a 'henna the belly'
party. She had purchased this same kit. I also brought a ton of my
own paste with me. Well, the cones/bags in the kit broke. The seams
just blew out, so here I was rolling cones for everyone.
The pattern on her belly was very large, it consisted of 8 eggs
(which we all filled in), spirals, and a thorn/vine around it all.
When everyone left, I filled in all the empty spots with a filigree
design. I only used my own paste, didn't even touch the Halawa Henna
stuff.
Well I saw her on the 12th and she showed me her belly...strangest
weirdest thing I have ever seen. ALL the Halawa Henna designs had
disappeared!!! I hadn't realized that my paste was the main one
used, thank the Gods. But every place that was mehendi'd with Halawa
paste was blank! All the spirals, the vine/thorn/ and one egg,
looked as though nothing had ever been there.

Was this a problem with Halawa powder?
And I did take a pic of her with all the paste on, but didn't catch
her with the paste off. I'll post the pic in a couple of weeks.
Blessings,
Willowhawk
