Freezing Henna Multiple Times?

Hello all! I have a question. I've finally taken the plunge...and
just hennaed my roots! lol I've been hennaing my whole head to cover
new growing roots, so as to condition my whole head. I suspect that
is why the red color is darkening so much too! So, my friend just did
the roots this time (and is now wearing green goose cassia poop of her
own for the first time, GL to her [and to me, if it goes badly you'll
never hear from me again and look in island places for my body if you
please!! lol])

My question is this: I thawed leftover henna paste to do this and
now obviously have a bunch left over. Can I keep refreezing the henna
over and over without a problem? The paste has already released the
dye so I'm not worried about that. It didn't stay thawed too long
(thaw, use within 4 hours of total thaw). And is immediately
refrozen. It'll all be gone probably the next time I do it. I don't
think it was thawed long enough for the dye to be degrading or
whatever it does when it's left out too long, and I kept plastic wrap
over it so it shouldn't have oxidized too much either. I think it
will be fine...it certainly dyed my arm! And I'll be checking it to
dye my arm next time too. I just wanted to check out the refreezing
question while I was sitting here marinating.

Thanks!
