Especially since I smell inklings of various Indian mehndi oils in
the tea tree oil that I just bought. It seems like now we have a
great deal of control over just what additives we put in the henna;
obtaining an unlabeled bottle of who knows what from India always
scared me a little!

This information is all great because I've gotten such varied results
with henna. Sometimes I'll stick henna on overnight and I'll get
barely an orange stain on my skin. Other times I have put henna on
for a mere half hour and achieved a great stain. I also always
wondered what was in the henna I got done in India several years
ago. I kept the mehndi on my hand for only two hours after the
application was finished - (after one or two lemon-sugar coats I
could do anything with my hands, and the mehndi stuck like glue) mind
you, the henna application took about 4 hours but . . . After
removing the henna I had a brilliant burgundy on my palms and a nice
brown the backs of my hands and feet. On the plane ride home to the
US that afternoon, my hands darkened to a complete black. The stain
remained for about 1.5 weeks and then completely disappeared without
a trace. I was mystified not to see it slowly fade away. Ah, the
mysteries of henna.
