: : My mother is so into my new henna hobby (which I think is very : cool), that every time I see her she wants her feet done. She has : shown these designs to an Indian friend of hers at work, who got a : big kick out of the fact that I was trying to learn the art. When : she mentioned it to her sister (in India), the sister actually : harvested one of her henna plants and ground powder for me. People : can be SO sweet sometimes. : : Anyway, I could not wait to see the fantastic results I was sure to : get with this fresh powder. Applied it last night to the very tops : of my feet. Since this skin is thin, I usually only get an orange : color here & darker around the edges of my feet. This morning I was : so sad to see that even with such fresh henna, my design was still : only orange. In fact, a much lighter orange than normal. I rubbed : it with a little clove oil (which I'm still not sure helps, but has : been associated with some good results), put on my nursing shoes & : went to work, downtrodden. : : Imagine my surprise when I changed out of those shoes this evening : & found a fairly dark, burnt sienna design. The color is not very : dark, but darker than I usually get in this spot (I wonder how dark : it would have gotten around the edges). But what is really : surprising is the amount of change over the course of the day. I've : had color develop after the paste was removed before, but never such : a change. The design made with this very fresh henna went from a : wussy, disappointing pale orange to darker than usual. I will let : you know if it darkens even further overnight. : : Odd. : : Theories? : : What after care do others use to develop their color after the : paste is off? Do you think it deepens just as much if left alone? : It may be that the sweat of a 13-hour nursing shift played some part?
