I have been trying to get to stain my skin with walnut hulls for a
while, but I had no luck with "black walnut hull" powder sold at
health food stores.

I was about to give up when last month I saw Somthing called "van
dyck crystals" sold online. They are made by squezing the juice out
of fresh black walnut hulls, then boiling the juice untill it
crystalizes. It has no additives, just plain boiled up walnut hull
juice. It is not powder, but crystals that are being sold.

I mixed this with hot water to make a thick paste. I then applied
this to my skin for about 10 minutes, and the result was a dark brown
stain. I washed the area with soap to make sure that the stain was
for real, and it was. The only problem was that buy the next day the
stain was much lighter, and by two days it was compleatly gone.

1- Is there somthing that you people use for henna, that maybee I
should add to the walnut crystals to make the stain last longer
(and/or darker)?

2- Do you think any factors in henna staining are simular to those
of staining with walnut crystals? If so which ones(heat, ingredients
used ect...)

Thanks for any help anyone can give.
