Just running through home on the way between Detroit Ozzfest and
Columbus ... staining impatient headbangers..

We're getting our BEST stains from paste mixed with Cajaput, and then
applied 24 to 48 hours later! Yestarday, we hennaed a fellow with 24
hour paste at 11 am .... nice job from fingernails to forearm ... and
asked him to just leave the paste on till it flaked off. At 6 pm he
came back from the mosh pits, and showed us the stain. By his
fingernails the patterns were espresso-brown, going to chocolate at
mid-forearm. That's in just 7 hours, no wrap, no heat. Just sling
and set 'em free!

Gwyn who is a chocolate color herself has a large OM on her inner
wrist, which was applied with 48 hour paste for only one hour ... the
stain is chestnut color against her chocolate frosting color skin.
Beautiful contrast!

I did a dragon on Shanon's forearm, and it came up tones of chocolate.

Put in PLENTY of EO's into GOOD quality henna .. and be PATIENT!
Having seen results on over 200 people now with these terped hennaes
... this DOES work! If you're not getting the results you want ...
try again. In particular, let the terped paste sit, with no contact
with air, for 24 hours, then apply!

The tummies are the most exciting! After 3 hours the stains are
brilliant orange and begin to darken quickly!
