: Let's just say that if I have the perfect batch of henna, is it
: possible to freeze henna paste and then use it whenever I want? Or
: will it go bad?

Different people have had different results with this.
I suspect the differences have to do with containment and freezer
temperature.

Is the henna paste TOTALLY protected from exposure to air? ANY
exposure to air is going to foul the paste. Commercial paste producers
often inert their paste mixing process to elimiate this. 3 mil plastic
still allows air to touch the henna. Any air pockets in the paste
eventualy make the paste useless.

Home freezers don't go supercool, and they have defrost cycles that
partly unfreeze things.

So ... though some people have had excellent results with frozen
pastes, others have not.
