Greetings everyone.

I've been on a 5 week road trip. Have Henna will travel. I hennaed
my way up the Northwest and back to AZ. and had a great time. Which
brings me to this. At one point I ran out of my ready made henna
mixing solution so I bought some balsamic vinegar. Why this type you
might ask? I love to cook and since it is the best to make many
things with, why not mix henna with it? Someone wrote and said that
they use vinegar with cloves added after I posted a massega asking
about the differences in acids. Lime vs vinegar. Well I must say
that it worked very well. I left it on for about 6 hours before I
removered the paste before bed. It was still very much moist. I found
that it was lighter looking then my regular mix of lime and stuff for
the same amount of time being on. I was somewhat dismayed. But in the
morning I found a very dark stain. And it continued to darken over
the the next two days. The top of my hand seemed to darken over the
next four or so days. I was vary pleased by this. And I found out
that I did not need lime/lemon sugar mix to keep it on. It seemed to
stay on very nicely and stay moist and not crack except where the
fingers and palm bend. I find this vary curious. Now after a few days
I found that the stain on the top of my seemed to have just sat on
top of the skin, not staining very deep and seemed to flake off in
spots and the plam the stain seemed to not take well to regular
washings as my other mix does. I'll have to try again and leave it on
over night and check the lasting results. I have not tried other
vinegars but going too, to see how the results differ.
Does anyone have any thoughs but the results I got with the balsamic
vinegar? Or results using other vingar mixes.

Many Blessings
W.Raven
