You say you get dye release in 6-8 hours at 80, is that after adding hot boiling coffee, or 80 coffee? Also, how long does henna powder last before going bad? : Call Castle Art at 888-829-8018 and order with Visa or Master, or fax : 920-430-1976, or mail a check to Castle Art and Import 1525 S. : Webster Ave, Green Bay, Wi., 54301 . : Their new harvest shipment of henna is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I : tried it last weekend and was totally blown away! Burgundy-blacks : with no effort at all! You get dye release in 6-8 hours at 80F room : temp, so don't let it sit too long. In 10 years of hennaeing, I've : never seen color like this! You almost HAVE to use superfine line : work to not overwhelm a palm with color....and the backs of hands and : arms are dark, dark, dark! The natural dye color of this harvest is : sort of raspberry-chocolate. The powder isn't actually all that deep : green...sort of olive really. But yeeeehawwww does the stain ever : rock! : I'm planning on ordering enough of the new harvest to get me through : the year, because I know that a henna field is cropped several times, : and each cropping through the cool/hot/dry/rainy seasons vary a great : deal...and this crop just in is the best of the year. I'll : refrigerate the lot and hang onto this one!
