Greetings,
A wonderful tip I learned here is to store my powder in the freezer.
It's the best place for it, due to the heat sensitivity of henna. It
is also light sensitive, so after you package it you will want to
wrap it in foil to keep out all the light and just to be on the safe
side.
Whenever I mix a batch of paste I usually throw half of it in the
freezer. That way I always have some handy. It seems to store quite
well this way. I also store it in the refrigerator if I know I am
going to use it in the next 2 or 3 days.

Now, as for your maroon dreams. What brand of henna powder are you
currently using to get 'orange' color with? What liquids are you
mixing your powder with? Boiling black tea, dried lime slices and
cloves makes a great liquid to add to the henna powder. There are
all sorts of things you can add to play with the color. I haven't
tried pomegranates or tamarind, but I have always heard those help
tremendously.
Just start experimenting and see what you like!
Good luck to you,
Justine Willowhawk
