Egyptian Henna?

I was at a fair today and a coloured lady began a very interesting
conversation with me about henna, and how it was used in her culture
etc. She said that when she was married her hands were hennaed
with 'Egyptian Henna', it was applied and she then peeled it off and
it left a black stain. What is she talking about. I asked her if it
had PPD in it, but she didn't really understand what I was talking
about. Does anyone know?

Interesting point, wonder if anyone else has noticed this - A lot
more people this year are asking about black henna, some say that
they want it and it looks better then brown (**?!!"), when I explain
about the dangers, they don't care and still say they want black.
Whereas others are starting to know about the dangers - say they have
read about it in magazines etc, so people are starting to be educated
(I actually tell everyone I henna about it.) I've always included a
little write up about black henna on my A Frame but I've decided to
do an A4 sheet to display at my stall all about it - gory pictures
and all!!
