What research have you done that leads you to believe that oils
applied before and after hennaeing improve the color? In 10 years of
hennaeing and countless side by side tests every time someone claims
such, I've never actually seen any improvement with the use of oil....
within the useage of decent henna and an overnight wrap.

I've gotten some facinating rashes from the oils though...especially
from the ones from India marked for henna and with no clue of
ingredients.

Shelly oil, mixed into the henna, gave me absolutely no improvement,
side by side., (One leg with, one leg without) The leg with Shelly
oil did, however swell double at the ankle (briefly) , and every
henna line, on the third day, blossomed with a line of little madly
itchy blisters (they went away in 2 days). I'd love to know why people
keep insisting that it's such a good idea to use this stuff.
