: this is probably a question for Fia: if you have mixed the gelled: fluid into the henna, is there still a chance for the henna to
further
: release dye, or does the gelling stop the process?
I'm not Fia (nor do I play her on tv) but I'm sitting here 5 1/2
hours into my henna'ing with a modified version of her gelled henna
receipe....
I used 100g of henna and mixed in 350 mL of microwaved lemon juice
last night--I set it to dye release overnight with 5 drops of
lavender EO.
Then this morning--after seeing the dye release--I added another 200
mL of nearly boiling lemon juice that I'd put the packet of pectin in
and mixed it all up, plus a few more drops of the lavender EO....it
became the consistency of brownie batter and has been the EASIEST and
least messy way I've tried to henna so far.
I tried it without the pectin last time and spend the whole henna
cleaning up drips. Ugh.
