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

: 1) what henna did you use?

---my own! ;-)

: 2) what EOs did you use?

---I either use Cajeput or Frankincense, or both

: 3) how long did you let the paste sit (before adding EOs)?

---at least 24-48 hours; actually I have been mixing it all up at
once, EOs and all, and then waiting 24-48 hours to use it, but i am
going to try adding the EOs just before I use it because I hear that
is better

: 4) how long (after adding EOs) before you start application?

---see above answer

: 5) how long did you leave paste on skin?

----usually 4 hours, sometimes longer (6-8) if I do it late at night
and just sleep on it

: 6) how long did it take to darken (deep dark red/brown, almost
black)

---at least 24 hours

: after you scrape henna off?
: 7) how well does the top of your hand stain normally (un-terped
: paste)?

---much better than non-terped, but it fades quickly

: 8) what elixir did you use with the henna?

---lemon, clove, mustard oil, sugar

: 9) how long does your terped paste last (before it starts to lose
: it's staining power)?

----about 5-7 days

: 10) do you refridgerate your paste?

---not at all...i don't do anything special to it
