: : : : *Has any one tried only Camphor, Henna powder and water as : paste? : : If : : : : yes, What were the result? : : : : *Has any one tried camphor solid in the paste? : : : : Thank you. : : : If you go back on this forum you will see many results and answers : : : reguarding camphor. It is a stong, dangerous essential oil and : : should : : : be used sparingly. The best results are to put some in your lemmon : : : sugar solutin for dabbing. If you are going to put it in your : : : paste,make sure it is just a small batch of henna, as it tends to : : make : : : the acids in the henna accelerate, giving your henna not so long : of : : a : : : shelf life. It brings excellent dark color results fast, but the : : : designs tend to fade quicker also, which is just fine for some : : people. : : : I haven't tried just camphor because of its adverse affects on the : : : skin if there is too much, I developed a rash from using it : straight : : : on my skin for a prep and then also in my paste. It also kind of : ate : : : up my design as well.You might want to try just camphor spirits, : : : actually, that was going to be my next test. Its deluted with : : alcohol. : : Thank you both of you Jenna and Zimra. I have read the earlier : : postings : : that is the reason I wanted to try without : : lemon and any other ingredients. I tried with the vicks and very : : little of the camphor solid (almost : : negligible) result remained the same as it would come out by adding : : lemon to this recipe I conclude : : that if henna powder is good stick to lemon and oil recipe. What do : : all of the readers think? : : Although I have not tried Ammonia and cider recipe. : : * Even I tried this for my self I will never try on my client and : same : : I suggest if any one is thinking of. : : I agree, alot of this stuff we are talking about are tests on : ourselves, like ammonia, I would never actually do it on a client, : just curious experimenting to see how it reacts. I tried the camphor : spirits and yuk! It stinks, plus it ruins the paste. Speeking of : ammonia, the design I did on my foot with ammonia in it stinks. It : accelerated the color to a bright neon pink orange and left it at : that. The one I did on my arm turned a nice brown red, must act : differently on certain body parts. Its not worth a try, its : inconsistant and not something you could offer someone anyway.
