I read about dextrose first in the body art forum (hennapage.com) - I like to go there
sometimes, because I like the vibe of the place. Don't care so much for body art, but
it's a really special place, the people there are incredibly knowledgable and serious
about what they do. I learn a lot there, not just about henna. Highly recommended.
And the encyclopedia is awesome.

In any case, this link: http://www.hennapage.com/henna/encyclopedia/sugars/
tells you all about adding sugars. It's a dense piece, I had to read it three times to
absorb all the information. Bottom line I got from it is that dextrose works best, use 3
parts paste to one part dextrose, and *don't* add extra liquid (dextrose sucks
moisture from the air). But reading the source yourself is best.

: Check http://www.hennapage.com/henna/encyclopedia/sugars/stir/ ...
: from crud to cream in 3 minutes!
that is one cool set of pictures catherine...

: These articles and more is part of why its essential that I integrate
: the information on these sites ......... kinda makes my brain hurt to
: think about all the work involved,
I can see that... the amount of information on hennapage.com is overwhelming. I got
my PhD on a lot less work ;-/
