Which henna is better? ORa or Jamila henna?

That's a personal preference, but I use ORa henna on my clients and myself.

ORa henna leaves beautiful dark color, is a super stable henna, sticks well to the skin, and has a gorgeous stringy texture that allows me to work faster and get cleaner lines.

ORa leaves great color on the hair and it's easier to rinse the paste out of the hair.

Jamila is the oldest, most well-known professional henna brand. I used Jamila back when we didn't have many professional-grade choices. It's still a solid henna choice with a creamy texture. To get cleaner lines, adding sugar is a great help or mixing some ORa henna into it.

You can always try both to see what works for you, but if you are new to henna, I suggest sticking with ORa henna.

Is your henna safe?

I'm glad you asked! YES! Our henna is safe. We source our henna directly from growers that provide us with high quality, pure, unadulterated henna product. Since we don't use distributors, we can be sure that we are getting consistent high quality henna.

Organic Transparency

In 2025, there was a regulation change for organic certification. Previously, just the henna grower needed to be certified, but now both the grower AND the importer (us) need to be certified.

This is a financial burden that, as a small business, we simply can't afford. Though our grower is still certified, we are not. This means our pesticide-free henna is not certified organic.

A tightening up of organic certification is generally a welcome change. This change prevents someone from ordering a small amount of organic henna, and then cutting it with inferior henna and reselling it as pure organic.

We do not repackage our henna. BOTH the silver outside bag and the clear inside bag remain sealed, exactly as the grower sends it to us.

You can read more details about this here on our blog.

Jamila henna has never been certified as organic, and they have no plans to do so.
