: Incidentally, I didn't make
myself clear, I was offering
you a minikit
: free to try. I know our
henna does just fine on
rehydration.

THANKS - always willing
to be converted. The brand I
have been using is Kiran
Henna - it is in a green box
with intricately hennaed
hands and feet on the back
and a lovely lady in a bright
red sari on the front. It is
from Pakistan and imported
through LA by Shere Int.
Have you every heard of, or
used this brand before?

Another question - does the
rehydrating/mucking happen
more on delicate pieces?
Maybe that is where my
problem is, though I still
want to learn to do delicate
work.

I also had another idea while
I was in the kitchen the other
day - I HAVEN'T TRIED
THIS YET, BUT - I have a
plastic tea ball type thing that
has very fine plastic mesh
inside it, I was thinking of
sifting my henna through
that next time, as the
stocking method seemed to
have rather large holes. Also
I dripped all my liquids
through a coffee filter for
my last batch, which should
eliminate at least one factor.
I love to experiment!

Anyway, glad I found you
guys!
