I'm just waiting for the stain to develop, right? If it's warm and I
have a 5-second bright vermilion stain at one hour after mixing, do I
need to wait further? Am I actually waiting for the dye to over-
release and to lose some of its own staining power? 36 hours seems
like a very long time.

: : CCJ says to mix plain, wait until the stain develops, then add EO
: and
: : wait again. Kenzi says to mix with EO, wait, then add more EO
and
: : use immediately? I'm so confused! Last time I was told that the
: : problem was i didn't wait long enough to mix in the oils. What
: have
: : othe people's experiences been?

: Actually, I was saying the same thing as CCJ.
:
: 1. Mix your paste plain (powder, lemon juice)
: 2. Wait 24-36 hours
: 3. Add your EOs and use
:
: I am saying, in addition, that if you have to wait after adding the
: EOs, you could add more to the paste right before you are going to
: use it. This might arise if you mix the paste for a 3pm appt., you
: put the EOs in at 2:45 but the client calls and postpones for the
: next day. When you have your appointment with her the next day,
add
: more EOs to your paste. This is just my personal experience but
the
: EOs right before you use it seem to give it an extra kick. I have
no
: scientific or empirical basis for making this claim, but so far my
: experience bears it out.
