...maybe you can help me giving me some recipes... well, if they are
not professional secrets, of course... ;-) Mine was as follows:

In a cup of water I put 1/2 spoon of instant cofee, the juice of a
little lemon and a bit of sugar. I heated it till it boiled, and I
verted it over a bag of tea. I left it 2 minutes and then I applied
some drops of Mehlabilla oil. Every time I experimented with the
damaged henna (for application training) I heated it again.

So here comes the first question: What should be the proportion in
which I must mix henna with solution? I mixed it not so liquid, but
more solid. Does it have anything to see with the permeability
capacities of the pigment???

And the second question: Should I always apply oil to the skin for
the pigment to permeate? If I apply Henna without applying oil before
does the henna show the same color??? If you can send me a mail, it
will be welcome... Thanks... ;-)
