What I saw in morocco was that a thin, soupy paste was made with
cement and something they call "produit" which is a white powder made
from ammonia - ammonia crystals. The crystals are dissolved inthe
soupy cement, then its is brushed or sponged in a thin layer over the
freshly applied henna. It is then dried over a hibachi for
approximately an hour, as hot as the customer can stand it. This
turns the henna black. If you are that interested in checking out
this method, I bought some crystals, but never used them. Contact me
and I can send you a tiny amount, enough to do a pair of feet. I'm
not real clear on the amounts, but I think if you made about 1/2 cup
of watery cement, it will be enough crystals. I'd be curious to know
if it works!
Ciao,
