I have only tried freezing henna once or twice, but it did work!!, I
did a test (froze 1 part and left another outside the freezer), the
frozen henna was still good after 2 weeks, the other one wasn't
working.
I think if you freeze it it will still be good for june9, but you can
also mix some new henna (very little) and mix it with the old
(frozen) one. That way you are sure it's working and you don't waste
all that leftover paste. Also, I read somewhere that mixing old henna
with new henna makes the color/stain more even.
