: Hi again Katherine!
:
: I just grabbed any old carton Red grape juice, off the supermarket
: shelf! When I mix it, it's at room temperature, as opposed to
: chilled, in the fridge..
: To be honest, I've only ever used henna mix with either red wine
: (don't do it.. it smells! lol), or grape juice, so don't really
know
: if it makes any difference to the colour.. but I'd guess it doesn't
: make that much of a difference, really..
: I think I get the deeper colour from leaving the henna slop on my
: head for so long (around 7 hours) :o)
:
: : : Just to add my two penneth! :o)
: : : I leave my henna mix on for around 7 hours (because it gives me
: a
: : : nicer colour, than if I only left it on for a couple of hours)..
: : : I use 50/50 lemon juice & grape juice.. then throw in some
: herbal
: : : tea, the next morning, to get it to the right consistency.. I
: also
: : : add a few drops of Lavendar EO (Lavendar's generally good for
: : : releiving skin irritations, though I don't know how much effect
: it
: : : would have in such small amounts)..
: : : I have sensitive skin, but I've never had any problems with my
: : lemon
: : : juice/grape juice mix :o)
: : :
: : :
: : : : I would think the problem was from the long exposure to lemon
: : juice
: : : : ... probably made your skin sensitive. If you're going to
: leave
: : : henna
: : : : on that long, might make a less acidic mix ... say, with
: : : rainwater.
: : : :
: : : : I have problems with lemon juice and thin skin if I leave on
: my
: : : body
: : : : art henna for 8 hours.
: :
: : Thanks, Dionne - any particular kind of grape juice? You started
: off
: : blonde; I'm old mouse chestnut-grey, with leftover dyed copper
: : auburn. Would the grape juice result in burgundy, do you think?-
I
: : love it , but on me it would look like an ageing tart! - Blessed
: : Equinox again, *)O(*

I'll have a go with that, then - thanks again!
