: No, it doesn't work particularly well in a side-by-side comparison
: test. Sorry about that. Side by side is the only way to really
: evaluate techniques. That one doesn't stand up to testing.
: Heat, and exposure to air DO darken henna. Henna darkens on its own,
: just because it's oxidizing. Camphor can darken henna in some
: conditions because it's a strong oxidant. Heat significantly darkens
: henna. If you want to really darken henna, steam it, heat it, or if
: it's on your palms or soles, there are ways to blacken it with
: ammonia.
Well, I got it to work. Maybe I got a weird premixed henna paste. I
dunno, I just report I don't explain!
