Review on Merlion Naturals Henna Leaves Powder – 100% Pure and Natural Hair/Beard Dye (8oz, 227g) by Gina Cravalho

I bought two packs of this "henna" (not even sure what it is) because it could have overnight delivery and I was in a hurry because I was away on vacation and wanted to color my hair and get a henna tattoo. If you have ever worked with henna then you know that the dye is released in about 12 hours. When I received it I saw that it was brown, not green like it should be. I was skeptical. I was in a hurry though, so I quickly mixed up two batches, one for the hair color and one for the mehndi tattoos, and hoped for the best. I waited almost 20 hours to see if there was a dye release and nothing. There is no dye release at all. The product was dark and grainy and didn't even smell like henna. Luckily I had enough of another brand I bought a year ago which although old has great color payoff and would work for my henna tattoo but unfortunately not enough to color my hair. I will say that this product is beautifully packaged, it is a pity that it does not work.
