: I finally managed to get a hold of some pure henna from a Swedish
: company. In fact, a whole kilo of it, which brings me to my
questios.

: I know that you can freeze henna mixes, but can you also freeze
: unmixed henna?
:
: If so, in what kind of packaging do people tend to freeze the
powder?

Something air and light proof. A ziploc bag in a light-proof
container will do the trick.

: And do you tend to split it up into smaller portions, or is it
: possible to get out smaller quantities from the already frozen
powder
: without too much difficulty?

Frozen powder stays powdery, and never becomes a big block o'henna,
so it's very easy to scoop out good portion sizes. If you freeze
paste, I reccomend freezing it in an ice cube tray and then taking
out a few cubes at a time to get the right ammount.

:
: Can you refreeze henna after thawing it once?

Absolutely, but it's better for the staining quality and easier to
just take out the powder you need and put the rest back in the freezer
