Hi,

I have tried all kinds of henna powder, like Artistic Organic henna, Rajasthani henna, Jamila henna, Maroccin henna, Yemini henna, etc. etc. My freezer and refigerator is full with henna powder from so many brands, regions. Also lots of henna pastes and henna cones.

I have tried the KISS receipt, all EO, like Cajeput, Tea Tree Lavendel, lemon juice, tea, coffee, sugar, honey, dextrose, etc. etc...

I have mixed all kinds of henna, I have done several dye releases, wrapped with paper, steaming, everything!

When I see all the pictures here and from henna artists web sites and henna stores online of henna stains on skin, I get so frustrated, because in all the years I do henna I have never ever got a stain as dark as on those pictures, neither on my own skin or clients skin, it's always light red, never burgundy ir dark brown or chocolate or black.

I almost believe that people use chemicals or something like that to get that dark stain, because everything I have tried, I never get a dark stain...

I have spent so much money of buying henna powders and so much time and energy that I really want to give it up. But it's so sad, because I really love, love to do henna..

I hope someone can help me.. I don't think so, because I have read all tips, receipts here, other sites and googled.. so I don't think there is any hope..

I just want to have this off my back..
