MAYBE you'll get a good color with your paste, (some pastes are
good, some aren't, I don't know what you have) but I doubt if oil will
make much difference. I've never seen oil make any real difference in
the comparison tests I've done.
What WILL make a difference is the length of time you leave the henna
on the skin, and the warmth of the skin. The warmer and longer the
paste is on the skin, the darker the stain!
Check the "how to" at my site below...... and try to do something to
those hands to keep them as warm as possible while the henna paste is
on. Wrap them, and have her take a nap with a heating pad on her
hands if you're in a cool climate.
