Best henna I've used
I have been doing henna as a hobby off and on for several years. I've tried pre-made cones as well as preparing my own henna paste with powder obtained from a variety of places ranging from other websites to my local Indian grocery store. I can safely say that this is the best henna I've ever used. I prepared my paste 24 hours in advance of when I needed it using a very basic henna recipe: lemon juice, powdered sugar, and essential oils (lavender and tea tree). While I was transferring the paste to my applicator bottle, I got some on my fingers and it started to stain instantly. I had orange oompa loompa hands for a week due only about a minute of contact with the paste. The designs I made stayed on for several weeks. Most notably, I drew a dragonfly on my mom's shoulder which stayed nice and dark and visible for a good 3 weeks before it began to fade. Those of you who know henna know that the shoulder area doesn't stain as well as, say, the hands or feet. I store this powder in my freezer to keep it fresh and pull it out when I need it.
