: 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,

: : Does anyone know if henna can be frozen in its powder and/or
mixed
: : form? and if so, how long will it last? also, whenever i do a
henna
: : design, the designs come out orange! how can i get it to be more
: : marroon? thanks, i'm still new at this henna-ing stuff!

Just wondering what most people's average freeze time is, and do you
re-freeze? How often, and how long does it seem to retain its color
power? I've had varying results with this so far, and would love
others' input.
