I bought black henna powder in Egypt (actually, the powder has a gray appearance) intending to apply it by myself. The man who sold it to me from the pharmacy said I should just mix it with water.
I have been intending to apply it for an upcoming hafla. Now I really doubt this decision.
Does the description of what I bought sound like the nasty stuff? Would I be risking my health? I’ve had black henna tattoos done before, with no adverse effects.
