Hi Lauren,

No mixmaster. I started with caj...played for a minute with the
others and went back to caj. Given the number of powders I played
with with the caj and without it, the thing that stood out for me
regarding the demise of stain is that the there was more a
correlation between a specific henna powder with caj and the same
henna powder without caj than there was between henna powder in
general with terps and henna powder in general without terps. Hope
that made some kind of sense. Example: Moroccan has a quicker demise
than many other powders. So the demise of Moroccan with caj was not
very noticeable...quick demise with or without and just disappeared
like only Moroccan seems to do. Jamila and Navaid's both with and
without caj is a slower demise and the caj did not appear to hasten
it more than three days or so. But the demise was slow and color
changes went on and on for both terped and nonterped until it was
finally gone. The powders that went to near black on my palms, side
of foot and bottom of foot (Navaid, Kimia (Iranian), Mazaya and
Sharkiyya), the demise is quite slow with and without the terps. The
difference with the terps seemed to have more to do with how dark
dark dark the stain was. I only use about 15 drops of caj in my
paste. With the amount of sugar I add to the paste, 20 drops made
the paste two thin for me. I have used as little as 12 drops. But
15 drops is the amount that I have been the most satisfied with based
upon stain results and the results of the oil on my paste consistency.
