Hi Nami,

Well good henna translates most often into fresh henna. And if you
are going out to buy it, I assume you may be buying boxed henna off
some store shelf and it is very hard to tell if something on the
shelf is fresh or not. Sometimes you can tell by the smell. But, I
have had fresh henna that did not have that strong henna smell and it
was both fresh and excellent henna. If your henna didn't work after
five tries of the same stuff...it probably is the henna. If you
share your recipe, the brand of henna powder and the procedure you
followed maybe we can see if there is a step you can add or alter.
Sometimes it is not just the recipe but the timing as well.

A pretty sure bet for fresh henna would be to purchase some from some
of the people on the forum who supply it. You can go to the "Where"
page and get the names and contact information from suppliers. If
you email me with your address I can send you a sample of some fresh
Jamila I just purchased from Michelle at ExoticHenna. It is quite
wonderful to use and I can vouch for its freshness and great results.
Email me if you would like the sample. Take care.
