: Since I am new, I didn't know you could store mixed henna in the
: freezer. Is this henna that only has lemon/lime juice added or the
: end result stuff? I would appreciate any advice you can give me on
: storing it.

I often freeze my paste. Learning, from Catherine, that a freezer
can be your best friend for the powder, and learning from others that
the fridge is a great place to store paste when not using
it...eventually I just started throwing the paste in the freezer,
which I believe several people here do.
I have frozen terped and non-terped paste with great results. The
longest I have kept paste in the freezer has been about a month tho.
I usually store it, after nylon straining, in a 2 oz plastic bottle
(just because I have it, and use it to refill my J bottles) or a
baggie. With the baggie, when I thaw it (either air thaw or drop the
sealed baggie into a glass of warm water) I can just snip the tip and
fill a J bottle.

By the way...isn't the smell of limes drying in the oven wonderful!
Smells like candy to me.
Blessings,
Justine Willowhawk
