The fresher your henna is, the better chance you have of getting good
body color. With the most recent crops of Castle Art henna, I've had
no problem getting body color comparable to Mehndi Mud's color....
and it certainly does help to have bold, heavy pattern shapes, plenty
of heat, and squeeky-clean porous skin, and an overnight
something-or-other to hold the henna in place. If you're using a
pattern that you can really pile the henna on...you're putting more
hennotannins to work for you!
Dry henna is good...then get up some sweat to rehydrate it after
you've sealed it with latex, face mask or whatever you love best.
