I saw that yemen 2006 henna is on sale @ a site for 40$ which is pretty cheap compared to 2007 crop. Was wondering if it is ok to buy it or is it too old?

As long as it's from a good supplier, I'm sure it's just fine. The people that sell henna for a living are going to store it properly, and it's probably more to get it moving and make room for the new stuff. I just picked up some 2006 Moroccan and it dyes without issuie :)

Thank you nightshade for the quick reply. I am going to order some. Also wanted to say that your hair is beautiful.

Awww thank you :flowers:

Where did you find this henna? I would like to get some that cheap! :) You can pm the site to me if we can't post it on here. Thanks!

I think hennasooq & hennaforhair's wholesale site both have yemen 2006 on sale for 40 $ if you are interested.

wow i love how you all think that 40$ is cheap.. i could get 4kg of henna for 40$ from my local supplier.. it dyes really great.. actually it dyes a little too well for me.. if i leave it on for more than an hour on my hair (tested on hair from hairbrush) my hair will turn burgundy.. i leave it on for about 45 minutes to an hour..
ive got about a kilogram of henna in my freezer at all times.. it costs 99 cents for every box of 100grams and there is no tax so a kg is less than 10$.

unfortunately not all of us have local suppliers near by to buy in bulk. And considering how hair dye is roughly $12-15 a box and washes out in a month paying $6.50 for something thats permanent isnt so bad.

I actually asked Catherine herself (H4H) the other week. Her response was that my Yemen 2006 was probably a bit tired (or something like that) and I'd do better to get new supplies.

That depends on whether you want violent red hair IMO. Many people just want a lovely, warm red that doesn't scream HENNA.

I'm using my Yemen 2006 to dye my nails ATM and the stain is about as strong as it was about 5 months ago when I last did my nails. I'd have no qualms using it for my hair, but prefer Lush's Caca Rouge for that .
