No, you WANT packaged. You want that stuff away from light, because
light deteriorates the staining quality. Air-tight foil packaging
with an expiration date is best. I'm telling you, it was the quality
of the henna and the length of time you left it on. Your hair colour
might be a part of it, but I would bet cash that it's mostly the
quality of the stuff and the length of time you let it rest.
