I don't know if the turpentiny stuff is safe....Was your kit the
Mehndi Magic that Sally's carries? Our Sally proprietor was
complaining about those kits, that her customers didn't like
them...especially the smelly stuff and poor instructions. We put out
what we think is a better kit at half the price, but we don't have
national distributors like Sally's, so such is life....speaking as an
artist, turpentine always made my hands sting and dried them out in
oil painting classes at university, but didn't send me to the
doctor...I bet the turp is meant to force the henna through the oil
layer that protects your skin so the dye will stain your skin more.
About your socks, no, you're safe on the staining, your socks will be
fine...the henna is staining the top layers of your skin cells so it
can't rub off.
Any other questions, I'll be glad to help...at www.mehandi.com....oh,
and we just put up some patterns for feet that you can get free off
our website. Click on the purple writing that says Patterns and that
will get you to the free pattern section. The feet are just below
the lotus patterns. Just print them out and have fun!
