I get mine from http://www.hennapage.com/henna/ccj/
The BEST henna is BAQ which is body art quality from anywhere, I think. Also henna without color. I hear that some henna's with color burn people's scalp. Mehandi is the real name of henna...

WOW! I checked out these sites and it's the same owner that I get mine from. I wonder how many sites does she have?

Catherine Cartwright-Jones(the owner of these sites listed here) has a color chart with her henna. You can achieve that by adding so much henna with so much indigo. She has a color chart from red to black, warm brown being in the middle. You won't be disappointed!

Co-sign on From Nature With Love's henna. $6/lb. None of that grams nonsense. Do I look like a European or a math major? NO, well put that ish in "American" please! Shoot.

Hmmmm, I might have to try this place since it's cheaper. That rings a huge bell for me!

A pound is about 454 grams, just to help the price conversion.

WHOA! My next purchase will be from FNWL. They always have sales.
I wonder - Do they have indigo????

I'm pretty sure they do.
The thing with FNWL is - are they in stock? They seem to stay OOS on some of the more popular/yummy stuff.

I just go to Whole Foods for mine. Actually I just picked some up in "Medium Brown", the brand is "Light Mountain". I was about $6-7 for 4 oz. I don't know if the price is comparible to the websites that were mentioned but I like that I don't have to wait or pay for shipping.

Yahoo is a miracle.
Just type in 'grams in pound' or 'pound in grams' or whatever, and it pops the answer up for you.

Yea, that is why I stopped ordering from them - the OOS sign is always out!!!!
That sucks.

I get my henna from FromNatureWithLove - it's significantly cheaper than Mehendi.com, and it works, fabulously.
One of these days I'll pony up for Mehendi's, and see if there is really a difference.
Great. Now there won't be any henna left at FNWL. OOS all the way.
You're so helpful, Kiya.

Oooh! MountainRose Herbs is a good spot too for herbs, in general, if you haven't checked them out. I have not tried their henna, yet, though - I think their pricing was along the lines of FNWL....

My bad, Cichelle. *sigh* You ain't never lied though - I need to go place an order myself! Don't tell anyone, This is between you and me... I buy my herbs there too
Nice! Which ones? I have a bunch of nettle & horsetail in my freezer from making MoeGro Oil (didn't realize how much 8 oz of dried leaves were!) and I suppose I could make tea to use in my mixes, but I don't know what else to do with it. I use the hibiscus, but I'm confused with the irish moss, too. Hrm.
Right.....
But I let the website out the bag!
