In reply to: Results of terped experiments and some questions for everyone :). posted by Jewel on August 14, 2001 at 09:04:02:

What a great design!! I love it. I really haven't tried anything so
complete and intricate....Now I'm just gonna have to!

: 1) what henna did you use?
Castle Art
: 2) what EOs did you use?
Last batch I used cajeput (india) and geranium
: 3) how long did you let the paste sit (before adding EOs)?
overnight - 10 hours or so
: 4) how long (after adding EOs) before you start application?
all day - 12 hours
: 5) how long did you leave paste on skin?
overnight
: 6) how long did it take to darken (deep dark red/brown, almost
black) after you scrape henna off?
seems to take longer with the terps added - about 36 hours
: 7) how well does the top of your hand stain normally (un-terped
: paste)?
pretty well, nice brown color usually
: 8) what elixir did you use with the henna?
normally I use fresh lemon juice but this last batch I used dried
limes (boiled) and some sugar (limes are cheaper right now :)
: 9) how long does your terped paste last (before it starts to lose
: it's staining power)?
Not sure with this new batch - still kicking after 4 days
: 10) do you refridgerate your paste?
Usually

: 1) Kenzi's Moroccan
: 2) Ravensara+tea tree+pine
: 3) 2 hours
: 4) 45 minutes
: 5) 5 hours (overnight)
: 6) that pic was taken after 5 hours, now (10 hours later) it's deep
: dark red (the checkerboard is almost black)
: 7) my palm normally stains easily, the top of my hand doesn't
: 8) fresh lime juice
: 9) 3 - 4 days
