I brought this up in an earlier thread and i think it got lost in the
onward motion of other discussions. My question/suggestion is this:
what have you all discovered as to the longevity of the stain when
using camphor in your henna paste? I ask this of all of you who
tried it, but especially Catherine, who did a thigh-to-thigh
comparison.

My experience thus far has been that the stain from henna paste with
camphor does not last as long. The initial stain is DARK and then
after a week it fades, looking like a three-week old stain using just
henna and lemon juice. My camphor trial was not side by side, but I
did keep everything consistent with previous non-camphor henna
experiences. I gave it the usual lemon-sugar soaking, I wrapped it
up tight, slept on it, kept it warm and under the covers next to my
body, I avoided water the next day and didn't touch it with water
until 24-36 hours after application. I even gave it a daily dose of
camphor after the paste came off.

What did you all discover...please share.
