Jamila Henna Users! Please get in here!

[Lava27]

Hey gals! I just wanted to find out from faithful, regular Jamila users if I got the real stuff! I know as a relaxed girl I need BAQ henna, and my last henna was from From Nature With Love. I'm trying something new, but nowhere on the box does it say BAQ. I read somewhere else that is doesn't usually say that on the Jamila boxes. Is this true? Is this the right stuff!?erplexed

Sorry if this question sounds nutty, but I'm paranoid!

I'ma a texlaxed girl and a faithful Jamila user. That looks like the real deal. I've used it plenty of times with no problems. Where did you order from?

Get the foil package, not the clear one. It should be marked super sift and date-stamped on the bottom.

You want the foil packed Jamila henna. The box and pack will be stamped with the crop and year. the clear-packed jamila is weaker henna, color-wise.

Mine also comes in foil and the date/season of the crop is stamped to the bottom.

I've used the clear one with no problems

oh for real re: the foil vs plastic wrap ?!?!?

Ive only got the plastic wrapped one

Yeah it looks legit. If you are doing henna for the color, the foil packed is better because it has the harvest date on the packet, gives a stronger dye release. But for conditioning, I've used both with great results

 

[Lava27]

Thanks everyone! I am just doing it for conditioning. I actually use just for thickening and then do black rinse after. Appreciate all the help!

Yes, that's the brand I use and I like it.
