: Does anyone know if it makes a difference if you wait for the
liquid
: to cool before mixing it with the powder? (I boiled lime juice,
: coffee beans, cloves, and cream of tartar, in case anyone's curious)

I generally use it hot. I think I've heard that using it hot helps
the dye release, but if you leave it overnight time will do that as
well.

: Also, do you leave it at room temp until the henna has released
it's
: dyes, or do you put it in the fridge after mixing?

Leave it at room temperature. I don't refrigerate mine until I've
got the consiostance right and I've strained it (I use j-bottles, so
I strain the paste a la Kenzi).
