Thanks! appreciate the feedback! I think I will try cooking up a
batch, then putting some in the freezer, and some in the fridge(just
in case) I'll let you know if I see any difference. Incidently, I am
going to be using Al Aroosa henna I found in a local Indian market. I
will let you know how it turns out for me. THe color is really nice,
bright green and frangrant too, so I think It is pretty fresh. I read
back in the archives a few comments by some folks. I figure while I
am experimenting its ok to play around with the cheap stuff. I have
been sifting it and its pretty fine too, not much junk, and I am using
a REALLY fine mesh! one of those metal coffee filters made to replace
the paper kind on a permanent basis.
: I am no chemist so I couldn't tell you if freezing would diminish
: it's capacity to darken henna. I wouldn't think so. I keep a jar
of
: it in the fridge for weeks and it is perfectly fine. I like to do
: big batches of it at a time because the smell, while wonderful in
: small doses, can be quite overwhelming when done too many times.
