We used lavendar in the Sirius tests, and it will improve stain.
The constituents are:
linalyl acetate 40% + linalol, lavandulol, lavandulyl acetate,
terpineol, cineol, limonene, ocimene,
caryophyllene.

Linalol is a likely looking molecule for assisting henna, and you see
also there our wonderful friends Mssrs. Terpineol and Cineol.

Lavendar is not as good as Tea Tree or Cajaput, and I didn't get to
test it in as many ways as I would have liked. At some point I'll go
back into all those tests and go farther under more controlled
conditions.

Tea Tree is just faboo with:
terpinene-4-ol 30% + cineol, pinene, terpinenes, cymene,
sesquiterpenes, sesquiterpene alcohols

and just at the moment I've mislaid my Cajaput link .... but it's got
all the right noogies.

Look for any constituents that are monoterpines with the -ol ending.
Those are your potential friends!
