If this is tricky to visualize ....
the thin top epidermal layer, where henna goes ... is more like
corregated cardbord than a roll of paper towels in structure. If you
put a drop of ink on corregated cardboard, it would mostly drip down
the vertical column, as opposed to spreading out. If you put a drop
of ink on a roll of paper towels ... which have less structure, and
horizontal layering ... it diffuses.

So ... that's why the side-by's are valid.
