When the paste is removed from the skin the color will be initially orange with natural henna and take about 2 days to deepen into brown. With the poison stuff, it will be black or brown right away. Please spread the word! The article above does have 2 little errors. Natural henna only dyes in shades of orange, red and brown, not green. The prepared paste is green, but it will not color anything green. Also, natural henna can last several weeks just like the chemically adulterated stuff. The difference is in the color and safety alone. Jen It’s very easy to tell the difference between safe natural henna and chemically adulterated henna.
