beautiful dark SMEARED color!

Posted by Anna Beltestaad on September 07, 1999 at 20:08:39:

Hi everybody,

Last week I did some very elaborate designs on both my hands, front
and back. My left hand was wrapped overnight (8-9 hours) and I did
not allow it to get wet for over 24 hours. The result; an
incredible, near-black stain...that's smeared where my palm creased! I
did the wrap I normally do, lemonsugar, cotton balls, tp, then an ace
bandage. It happened on my right hand too (yes I am one of those
lucky souls who can henna the right hand, it's really not that hard!)
I think what happened is the ace bandage smushed my palm into itself.
How can I avoid this? The color is absolutely superb, I have NEVER
seen henna this dark, but the design is somewhat embarassing.

Peace,

Anna
