: cover your henna with the lemon juice/sugar mix, and then wrap it: with tp and saran?
That sounds like it would work - what I personally do is dab the
lemon/sugar onto the design with a cotton ball, and then unroll some
cotton balls into strips and cover the design with the strips. Then I
use paper tape (or masking tape if I'm out) to hold the cotton strips
in place.
I would also recommend ordering fresh henna from an online source
listed on this site. Local stores often have henna that sits in
boxes. I prefer henna that is already sifted - just makes the process
easier. But who knows, maybe the woman you mentioned knows of a
really fresh local source. Half the fun is experimentation... Good
luck!
