Thanks for the feedback. Hmm. Guess that's not an experiment we're
likely to see, then. Pity - after catching up on this forum and
reading bits below about someone with salty skin, the effects of body
chemistry seem interesting to me. Then again, the henna stains the
dead skin, right? So the skin formed during the time of fasting
(forms greatest in the wee hours?) would be at the surface, all ready
to grab onto that henna (or not), so the henna done just after Ramadan
might have slightly different characteristics. Oh, well - any
variation is probably smaller than the usual variability.

About Ramadan - yes, I'd heard that one abstains from other things
than food during the day, so it does make sense that henna would wait
until the month ends and the henna is more appropriately appreciated.
