Re: Henna Round 4 !!Posted by Dionne on August 23, 2004 at 06:46:43: In reply to: Re: Henna Round 4 !! posted by Diane on August 22, 2004 at 16:27:55: The henna leftovers seem to have had just as good effect, as thefresh stuff (though I did have a bit of fresh mixed in).. I wasn't sure how best to go about the thawing thing, so what i did was took the frozen stuff out of the freezer & put it in the fridge, a day before I needed it.. I thought that way, it would thaw slowly, while still keeping cold, so as not to go past it's optimum 'dye release' stage.. if that makes any sense! Seemed to work ok anyway :o) I did indeed do the 6 hours (might even have been a bit longer than 6 hours) & the colour's as lovely as ever.. I just love it more & more, every time I do it! The last time I hennaed, it seemed to be a much deeper colour than the first two times.. this time I haven't realy noticed it being any deeper, but that might be due to the dreary weather & having no bright sunshine bouncing off it.. or it might be due to me using the older batches of henna (one of which wasn't from Catherine).. Anyway, all in all, I'm very happy with it again :o)
