Limes are a little more acidic than lemons. With fresh lemon or lime
juice added to henna (side by side) .... no visible difference in
results. The 3 dried lime experiments I did gave me results identical
to the fresh juice. However .... if you want to make a "witch's brew"
, boiling up dried limes is ideal, because you can throw in cloves,
rose blossoms, dried orange peal, grenadine syrup, kumquats, angel
wings, fairy dust .... that is to say something that is not only
intensely acidic but wonderfully fragrant .... that will enhance the
aesthetics of your henna (and of course the cloves will darken it).
Fun. Harmless.
