Absolutely!
I will take digiphotos of EVERYONE's comparison test piece (likely a
longish fern with a leaf each in every different recipe with carefully
numbered reference for each change in henna ...
or a serpent with stars inside (referenced again)
or series of ivy leaves and curls (referenced again)
so there is good side-by-side comparison of the henna without the oils
and the henna with the oils ... and other comparisons of different
suppliers.
If we have the same series on each person's forearm or leg .... or
finger ... that should tell us a great deal about the comparitive
results! http://reverndbunny.sphosting.com/hennaclass2001.html

It's silly to waste henna making up 20 different batches for yourself
alone ... but if we have 2 dozen or so people for testing .. then
mixing up 20 batches is not preposterous.

I'll see about posting the patterns and recipes along with the photos
.. so anyone who wishes to repeat the experiment on their own ... can
do so. That's something I really want to accomplish here ...
independantly verifiable, reproducible results for different recipes
and essential oils with a few major henna suppliers.
Then if the results vary, from occasion to occasion ... then WHY
becomes definable and useful!
