Thanks Alison, it sounds like I better stick to skin for the moment :)
Speaking of skin, I am trying to get the darkest stains on my hands
also. I have heard that skin preparation, frequent steaming, and tea
tree oil are excellent for darkening stains, can you (or anyone else)
suggest their favorite methods? Actually, what and where do I get the
most basic requirement for dark staining? I mean does the henna I
start with matter also? Thanks for helping a beginner.
