"I just wanted to discuss how to find good Henna supplies, where you can get them and what to avoid in terms of Henna that you are going to use on peoples skin. Natural Henna is a plant that is grind up very fine and powdered. The brand that I use the most is Jamila but any Henna powder that you know for sure is pure Henna leaves is fine. What you want to avoid actually is anything that says that it is black Henna, black Henna actually don't exist it is the spread of reddish brown color that you see. It could be a range but something close to this and sometimes people mix black hair dye in with there Henna and there is other ingredients. Sometimes people put coarsen or other things like that in with the Henna, some of them can be very harmful for people skin so you are going to want to shoot for just this natural reddish brown kind of color and mix your own Henna paint from scratch is really the best way to do that and in another clip I will be showing you how to do that."
