: If you go back on this forum you will see many results and answers

alcohol.
Thank you both of you Jenna and Zimra. I have read the earlier
postings
that is the reason I wanted to try without
lemon and any other ingredients. I tried with the vicks and very
little of the camphor solid (almost
negligible) result remained the same as it would come out by adding
lemon to this recipe I conclude
that if henna powder is good stick to lemon and oil recipe. What do
all of the readers think?
Although I have not tried Ammonia and cider recipe.
* Even I tried this for my self I will never try on my client and same
I suggest if any one is thinking of.
