Thanks so much for all of the info! I didn't know there were different types, that some were permanent etc. The stuff I have I bought from a health food store, its called Rainbow henna, and the ingredients just say henna. It is supposed to come out brown (they had a bunch of different colors for sale I remember). It is a green powder that smells like hay and turns brown after mixed with water. If there were additives, would they say so on the jar? I thought they were required to. They did mention rainbow on a page on the site you posted, and said the results were okay. I haven't had the guts to try it yet, and if it winds up being drying, I probably don't want to...still thinking about it! I'll just do one strand first like I'm supposed to before I dive in. Thanks again!

Susan, according to Catherine (who runs the hennaforhair site and is a henna guru!) the labelling on commercially sold henna is really bad! They don't say what is in it (really), so I wouldn't trust the labels. Remember, you can't have "brown" henna if it is just pure henna. Henna is not brown.
If you're going to do it, I'd just go all out and get the good stuff. Your hair is precious (especially since we are all growing it out and it's going to be around on our heads for a number of years!) so treat it to a real henna
