The new crop of Jamila is in! Here is a first look at the paste and dye release test spot.
You can see it is super creamy! Very smooth. Mixes with absolutely no lumps.
The test spot is showing great color in a lemon juice mix with 24 hours standing time at 75 degrees.
Coned up the paste has an ever so slight stringy quality. Just enough to give a good drape, but does not create peaks or fly-away strands when making dots or lifting the cone.
Check back soon to see stain pictures!
I know its not true all over, but here in the midwest the henna season is a little limited. There’s no skin sticking out from under heavy clothing to tag with henna or paint! My work load decreases dramatically from mid September to March. I certainly can’t sit by and do nothing. Well, I could but I’d be poor AND board. So to pass the time and earn a living when its cold I make gift items and art pieces. Please take a peek here: http://hennamuse.com/gifts.html
New at Henna Muse…
We have a new shopping cart! This cart offers more features than our old PayPal cart, like wish lists, separate shipping and billing addresses, new shipping options, and much more. New features coming soon include downloadable items, gift wrap, gift certificates and special discounts.
It looks sharp, works great, and we’re very proud.
The original site is still live, but the product pages have been re-routed to the new store, so don’t worry if you have been using our informational pages. They’re still there!
Check out the photos of color for our new favorite henna! Click on the photos to go to flicker and read all the details.
We’ve got some new stuff at Henna Muse! We’ve just added some one of a kind, hand-made gifts. Right now we have some earrings and pendants and some hand-painted boxes. This page changes often as we make great new stuff. (Yes WE make it, right here!!!)
Handy new packaging for 2, 4, and 8 ounce sizes of paste! The tapered tip makes filling cones and smaller bottles easy and the red cap alows you to re-close the bottle to store leftovers. The tip can be cut open to any size so you can even use the bottle directly for large, bold applications.

Oh my! This is the stuff! If you didn’t like the way last years crop took to days to show good color, well… that’s all behind us now.
2 hours after removing paste:
Do you see the curls at the wrist? They were only on for about two minutes. I didn’t like them, and I thought I had time to wipe them off.
See the blotches near the fingers? The paste was on there about 30 seconds! It was just from sloppiness while filling cones.
This is 26 hours after removing the paste!
This is going to be my new festival henna of choice. After care be damned. Nobody can screw this up!
