Congrats Alissa!

It took me similar care to get similar colors on the palm. I can get
really dark on my palms and fingertips, but *ONLY* if I wrap
overnight and stay really warm. Glad to know there's someone else
out there who needs aftercare/wrapping to go that dark, but
congratulations on having a design you have to look at over and over
in happiness and disbelief!

peace,

Anne

: Wow!! It happened! I finally got the eye popping terp results that
: everyone else spoke of at long last!
:
: Sunday night I hennaed my palm -- 1 week old Sondarya henna kept in
: the fridge, mixed with cajeput and geranium approximately 24 hours
: prior to application. My cajeput just got to me via UPS, until then
: I've been using tea tree.
:
: *Well* I wrapped the design with my trusty old Ace bandage and left
: it on overnight. Low and behold the morning unveiling revealed the
: *darkest* pumpkin orange stain I've yet to see. I religiously kept
it
: dry dry and warm warm all day even after paste removal. It was
: darkening alright, and I was excited to see the results from 24
hours
: after paste removal.
:
: This morning I woke up and looked at my palm immediately. Like a
kid
: finding toys from Santa, I grinned in amazement at the darkest
black
: cherry stain I have *ever* seen. It is damn near black in places
: already and I am just agog.
:
: I keep showing it to my husband saying "Do you see this? Can you
: believe this?" Not totally getting it, he humors me and nods like
you
: would to a crazy woman whom you don't want to set off. "Yeahhhh
: that's really great!"
:
: "But look how dark it is!"
:
: "Yeah it's dark alright..."
:
: Ahhh well perhaps the henna miracle doesn't mean as much to
everyone.
: But to me I'm simply overjoyed at the Good Henna Fairy's visit and
: what she brought.
:
: Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings, since many terp designs
keep
: developing for 48 hours.
