One of the main reasons I was looking to buy this Henna was because one of my favorite Henna artists uses this brand.
Overall I would say I'm pretty satisfied with this brand, however, you do have to make it correctly for it to stain well.
The mixture I have found that stains the best is this:
3 teaspoons of sifted Henna powder, 5-7 teaspoons of lemon juice(add until Henna is stringy), 20 drops of tea tree oil, 10 drops of orange oil, and one teaspoon of raw cane sugar. You should always sift your Henna before you make paste with it. I use an old pair of panty hoes stretched over a bowl to sift it. It just gets out any plant fibers that could clog up a cone.
The key to making the Henna stain well is letting it rest before you apply it to your skin. You should let it sit for at least 24 hours before putting it in cones and onto your skin. From the reviews I read I think this might have been the problem some people were having.
The picture I've included from right to left is the first day I applied the Henna, 24 hours later, and then a couple days later.
Hopefully this has been somewhat helpful!
Overall this is a good quality Henna and you get a lot for the price! I recommend it!
