: Well, I've posted the results I can get before using my recipe. But
I
: can't find anything I can use on a customer that gets a good stain,
: at least as long as they arent coming to my house to get henna
done.
: I usually cover the design in vaporub or I keep it wet by spraying
it
: with water. Neither of those permit much movement, and I can't do

Rosewater
: you wouldn't be able to go very far from my table. I'm searching
for

palms
: and such is affecting it--thats why everyone ekse has good luck
with
: New Skin I think. Only 1 customer has ever asked for their palms
: done, and (luckily, probably) I never test the stain on my palm
: because I can't stand the smell--if it TOUCHES the palms of my
hands
: it wont go away for days. Any smell drives me nuts after an hour.

For my mix, I use part lime/lemon sugar or just lime sugar, for me
limes work better.(and limes were cheap this week at the market) I
use lemon sugar as well. The limes for me give a darker stain with
the Jamila. I also wrap my design in 100% cotton first aid gauze and
tape. (my husband came up with this) coat with lemon sugar before
wrap, and I get a dark design and I am able to be mobile and actually
walk or eat or typeif wrapped correctly design won't smudge. Leave on
overnight (the plus is no henna stains on the sheets) .this method
for me at least has never failed. I do offer this to customers. I
just wanted to share what works for me.. Good luck, Christine :)
