ammonia experiment - initial results
Posted by Kara on August 04, 1999 at 15:45:32:
Hello, folks!
I applied the henna yesterday around 2 pm, and this morning as was
expected the before ammonia results showed the wrapped finger was
about 2 shades darker than the others. (this finger was not one of
the ones i put into liquid this morning) I then poured the pee into a
measuring cup and the ammonia into another measuring cup. I put my
pointer finger into the pee cup and my obscene finger into the
ammonia cup. I timed the experiment for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes
had passed, I removed and rinsed off the digits. Initial results
showed the pee finger a little lighter overall and the ammonia finger
about 2 shades lighter. Also interesting to note, the ammonia finger
really swelled up and got water logged (raisin finger) while the pee
finger only got a little bit wrinkled. I then took a shower and
cleaned all fingers really really well. Now as I type this, the pee
finger remains about 1 shade lighter overall, and the ammonia finger,
while also lighter is about 1 shade browner(not darker) than the
other fingers. The best color by far still is the wrapped finger. One
interesting thing to think about is that I am not sure my pee was
'aged' enough. I think it is supposed to be about 1 week old? The
test pee I used was just over 2 days old. I will post late tonight or
tomorrow to finialize these test results.
Kara! :)
