Something in that oil is a helluva oxidant. What did you smell in the oil? Other that that, she has henna powder fresher than we ever get, and it was a very warm day. Lotsa lotsa happy little tannins! When I've had had the spectacular combination of good henna powder and a really hot sweatty day, the henna has done exactly that, no wraps, no nothing but henna. The thing is, it's really unusual here (the shores of glorious Lake Erie) to have powder that good, weather that hot, and a situation where you can leave the henna out and undisturbed. (Henna, in medieval Turkey and Arab countries, was often applied in the bath houses, near the steam rooms, on ladies who'd been all hotted up nice.)
