What to use instead of Jamila Henna

AnthroDiva

So, I've been following the coloring thread (especially since my 1st 2 attempts at coloring my dark brown/black hair red have both resulted in dark brown/black hair).

I am convinced that henna is definitely the way to go (especially since I am too scared to do permanent color and/or lifting/bleaching at home).

I went to the hennaforhair.com/mehandi.com sites, read the ebook, and (using the collective suggestions of fellow CGs who use henna) I looked for Jamila henna. They either no longer sell this type (or they're hiding it . So has anyone used any other type of henna? Based on the options available on the site, I would be best advised to use:
1) Henna from Yemen; or
2) Henna for African Hair

I prefer trying henna, but my next step is to just go to a local salon.

Thanks for any help/advice!

Instead of searching online try buying one from a local indian store or an authentic threader/henna place. I went to one at my mall and they sold tons of imported henna packages for your hair. goodluck!

I like Jamilla more than Yemen. I find that the red looks truer.

I use Karishma herbal henna and I buy online at this site that I found thru the LHC forum. http://ruchita.mybisi.com/

Thanks so much. I have been obsessing over dying my hair with henna ever since I started reading this thread (and the hennaforhair ebook) about a week or so ago.

Now I can look forward to posting pictures of my pretty pretty 'henna hair' .
