It's going to take some testing under far more controlled conditions
than a mosh pit to see exactly what "peak" is. Peak is somewhere
between 12 and 48 hours past mixing in the EO, depending on temp.

I'm not as totally wrecked as one might think, as I've had the most
wonderful team, Shanon and Gwyn, working this with me! These weeks
have shown me the value of having workmates whose word you can
absolutely depend on! I've not done "team henna" under conditions
like a major traveling rock show before, and it has shown me that you
MUST have a team of people who are competant, honest, reliable, and
with whom you can get along well under the most stressful possible
conditions, who will stick with you during good or bad, and will stay
by you because they gave their word, not just because it happens to
look as if it might be to their advantage for the moment.

We've got to Ozzfester one more date, and then I have a few days to
crash before I do Women's Weekend and the second week of Pennsic.

I'll continue writing up batches and suchlike and pass on info as I
can.
"Killer Mosh Mix" is good henna, 1 oz of caj (or 3 ml caj) per 4 oz of
12 hour old lemon-henna paste, and enough Neroli to make it smell
decent ... then leave it in a cone for 12 - 24- 48 hours. To see if
they might have allergies to the EO's we ask "are you allergic to Icy
Hot, Mentholatum, Ben Gay, Tiger Balm, Vics VapoRub?" (Headbangers
all have had sprains and are familar with the scent and feel of
caj from these products). No reports of irritations so far. I'm
truely impressed that there is a way to successfully henna
headbangers. We're using the patterns from my pattern book ... and
they LOVE dragons, celtics, knotwork ... and their girlfriends seems
to like butterflies, and that sun/moon thingie. I've been
speed-slinging celtic knots across bellies, backs and forearms
nonstop.
