That is the exact henna that i have been looking for for ages! Where
did you get it?

I noticed the same thing about the cherry to mahogany colors.

I

fresh,
: as the stain was not disappointing. Not too bad, I may just go
back
: and pick up some more. The stain was more of a cherry red color
: initially and darkened to a red-brown mahogany wood color. The
: Castle Arts henna that I had been using stained orange and then
: darkened to a shade of brown walnut wood color. The color
difference
: was not considerable but I definitely prefer the redder shades over
: dark browns.

: I may drop by the health food store and pick up some pine oil to
see
: if it will intensify the stain and make it even more red.
