I also want to add, that if there is green dye in your henna powder
and you are using it for your hair, It will turn it green. If you
noticed way back, when Catherine was explaining to some people on the
forum about henna for their hair, some of them had their hair turn
green. That could of been for several reason, but one of them is the
green dye.

Also I got an email from someone that was disappointed that the henna
powder she bought stained something of hers green. And it a supplier
that is known on here.

I can tell you this, Suppliers put green dye in their henna powder to
make it look like its fresh. That is the first give away for me.
If its bright green or very dark in color, I test it, actually I test
all my powder when I get it, Just in cause.

And rememeber this is only my opinion.
