Hi Anne,

Yes, I LOVE Kenzi's henna. It's my henna of choice for all
occasions, and I used it this past weekend to do my first wedding. I
worked night shift at my everyday job on Thursday night and mixed the
henna at about 8:30 am (95% lemon juice, and at the bride's request,a
few drops of lavender oil/black tea leaves/whole clove/tamarind
brew) before sleeping for a while. We started henna on the bride at
7:30 pm and worked almost non-stop until 11. Then I did her mom and
aunt and finished at 1:30 am. The henna is SO fabulous. I very
carefully wrapped it in cotton batting and toilet paper so they could
sleep (which the bride said she didn't get any of...!) She took
everything off at about 7:30 am before getting her hair done and when
I saw her at the ceremony at 11am, it was gorgeous. I told her that
it would go even darker for a day or two so I'll call her tomorrow to
say hi & see how it is. But yes, Kenzi's henna is the best I've ever
used and I'll keep using it as long as I do henna (forever...)

peace & henna, Jen
ps I'll be posting the photos at my webshots site...
