Olive oil is quick to smell rancid on many people. Do I just have a
sensitive nose, or do you not smell it?
Also, your fav henna must be naturally very acidic. Your recipe is
useless with my fav henna...that's why I specify that henna must be
sourer than ph5 to release dye. A plant growing wild across such a
huge geographic region is bound to have a lot of variation (consider
the varieties of cannabis that grew wild across our continent...some
made great rope, some had other possibilities....) One of the
problems I say in the henna page when I was reading it a year ago, was
that the posts were largely anecdotal...not based on chemistry and
dermatology, linguistics, history and sociology. I had a notion that
a little scholarship could go a long way.....
