But when you leave the henna out on the counter to let the stain
develop, it's exposed to air and that doesn't seem to harm it.
Someone on this forum uses the dye seeping through the bag onto a
paper towel as a sign the dye is released enough to use. At any
rate, I tested it before I added the EO and got, not a fresh stain,
but certainly a decent one.

: Ah. There's been oxygen contact through that plastic (you
mentioned
: the orange stain on the counter!)....your hennotannnins bound with
air
: and they will no longer bind with your keratin. Hennotannic acid is
a
: dimer and it has demised.

: Start fresh.

: Either your plastic was too thin for the job, or your freezer did
some
: defrosting cycles during last month. Did your ice cream get soft?
