My Moroccan when mixed with lemon juice and sugar, wrapped and left
overnight, will still have a visible design on my palm five weeks
later. Other hennas generally last from 3-4 weeks on me, except the
Sharkiyya which was about equal with the Moroccan.

: 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.
