Yesterday I only tested the Jamila on my skin but several weeks earlier I tested the blonde henna on my hair with no results either.. I'll mix some more Jamila tonight and put it on my hair.
Thanks again RedTea.

Hmm.. you should be getting some kind of stain if you're testing straight henna. Since it's hot where you are, have you tried leaving it out in the heat when you're waiting for dye release? It's cold here right now and I leave mine in a pot of hot tap water for a few hours in order to speed up the dye release. I also mix my henna/cassia mix with hot tap water. I've only ever used the Raj, not the Jamila, so I'm not familiar with its dye release time.
