Right, then, thanks - no terps, next time maybe 50:50 lemon
juice:water, and shampoo it right away. It's gorgeous, exactly what I
wanted, so that is why I am worried about stinting on the acid. But
it seems one doesn't really need that much to get dye release...?
When I last used boxed henna,about two weeks ago, I used nothing BUT
lemon juice, had some itching, but nothing like this - please don't

use anything else now - but it is just so bizarre! Thanks for all
your help.
