FNWL Raised Their Henna Prices?

[Libra08]

Is it just me or did FNWL raise their henna prices? Now one pound is $12.50? I haven't bought anything from them but I was really looking forward to buying a five pound bag of henna for $29.95

I was about to buy some from them, the store I used to go to locally closed. I tried to call another indian store and the number is disconnected. erplexed This economy has got to get better soon.

Libra, why don't you try going to an Indian store and buying the henna that way? I had to venture out into the unknown LOL I'm used to Bodegas and 7 - 11's LOL I now buy henna for about $1.99 a box/bag. I get Amla for about the same price. Its crazy what some of these online vendors sell their products for.

I really wish I could do that. I'm in Ithaca, Ny for college, and it is about the whitest small town I've ever been in. When I went back home to MS for winter break I called the few Indian shops we have, and none of them carried it

Wow, that's surprising! In Detroit, the first Desi (South Asian) store I bought the powders from went out of business. I tried another one near my college and got Vatika and some crappy henna I ended up not using. I ventured over to Hamtramck and hit up the Bengali stores.

One guy said it was mostly the older Desi women who use the powders, so I could see them not being sold, but henna is still very popular. Hmm...

I wish the stores here sold them in larger quantities or I would be able to help you. They only have the small packets.
