My wretched experience with a premixedPosted by CorasMama on November 5, 2001 at 14:34:45: My best friend is leaving town for good in about a week, so I wentover to see her yesterday to say goodbye. She called me just before I left to ask if I could henna her, now that she doesn't have to worry about the people at work (her last day was friday). Of course, she asks me this at a time when I don't have any made up! So off I go to the Indo-Pak Spices, and get some RaniKone. I sniffed at it on the way to her house, and pee-yew. So when we got there, I just added some tea tree and yummy-stinky oils, and enough henna powder to get it back to a decent consistency. I did a single strain with Kenzi's method, and got to work with a j-bottle (she didn't have any tape, so I couldn't make a cone.) That was the nastiest stuff I've ever seen. First of all, it came out of the tubes stinking and TAN in color. And even after straining it twice, it was clogging up my tip constantly. I've been pretty much a cone convert for a while now, so my hand is aching like crazy this morning. And the color is pretty lame. No red tones, just a really yucky brown. The moral of this story: since I have no problem keeping my own paste good in the fridge for 5-7 days (If I use Kenzi's or Castle Art), I think I'll always keep a small amount in a cone in the fridge from now on!
