Since I started using cajeput in my paste I have had to rethink my
conversations with clients. I usually tell them that the stain lasts
2-3 weeks and tell them that they can make it last longer if they
want, or scrub it if they need it to disappear quicker.

My feeling is that many clients at street fairs are unlikely to do
everything you ask them to do in order to get a good stain, so I feel
that a shorter lasting but dark staining paste is best. I find that
most clients are more concerned with the color than with the
longevity, and those that are concerned with longevity want to time
their appointment so that their henna stain is at its most beautiful
for their event.

As for me, i like the dark-and-quick-stain because I am always so
busy that I can't keep my hand tied up for hours to get a good stain
sometimes. I am thinking especially of those times I want to have
henna for a street fair to show people what it looks like but in the
days leading up to it I usually have a lot of other things to do and
can't really spare the time to have my hands out of commission. I
also like when it fades quickly so that I can try a new design sooner.

That's my vote.
