Has anyone used Jamila Henna from local indian store and gotten good results?

[curlytwirly06]

I have been buying from online but I can pay that price anymore. I saw some boxes at my local indian store and wanted to try it but I was gonna ask around first. If you got good results, mind telling me your routine etc? Thanks.

I wouldn't try it. I mixed a batch once and it had too much debris in it so I didn't use it. When I'm feeling dangerous, I use Rainbow Henna ($7 a jar). I've gotten excellent results from it.

Yes, I've snagged Jamila locally from an Indian market for $2.99 a box. It was perfectly sifted and had no debris.

I haven't used Jamila but I always buy my henna from my local Indian market. No problems either. I've purchased Reshma & Nupur

It's good stuff. My preferred brand of henna.

I used Jamila in the past with no problems. It gave my hair more of a reddish tint than Nupur and Reshma. Jamila is good but I had to DC more because my hair wasn't as soft as it was when I used Nupur.

I bought 2 boxes for my daughter and she did not have good results. I don't know if henna gets old and ineffective but those boxes looked like they'd been there for awhile.

I only use Jamila Henna and I've never had any issues. I bought from a local Indian grocer and from Amazon. It should have a packaging date noted on the box. I would not purchase it from the grocer if it is more than 2-years old. Old henna is not as effective.

I started out using Nupur then Jamilla from butter-n-bars. The Jamilla gives a richer color, though. I think its good for like three years. When buying in the store, look on the bottom of the box for the crop date and expiration date. I still have 4 boxes left from an awesome sale last year. This is what it looks like:



I LOVE this HHJ!!
