Anything that can impress you this much I've got to try. If I order henna from Castle Arts soon, do you think I'm guaranteed to get this same fabulous batch? In other words, do you think all their henna is from the same source at any given time or might they be selling henna from several different crops at once?

And all you did is add lemon juice to the propper consistency? That's it?

Also, about the fridge thing, if you keep the powder in the freezer does it last longer or the same amount of time (9 months-ish?)? Or do you actually advise against freezer storage? What's the max amount of time you think this powder will remain so fab, if properly stored (so I can judge how much to buy)?

I actually still have most of a kilo of Castle Arts powder (I think) in the freezer, but I got it second hand & don't know how old it actually is. The results are good, but not great. I might ditch it for a kilo of this new stuff if it's really as good as you say! Got it dirt cheap anyway.
