What am I doing wrong? Consistently, when I try to dab my designs with the lemon/sugar mixture to fix them, the henna gets mushey and smudges - or even falls off. I've been putting it on with a cotton ball. Seems I saw where someone was putting oil on their designs before this mixture!?! Also saw a spray bottle tip - haven't tried that yet. I'm getting the henna mix down and even ok with my application technique, but can't seem to bridge this last hurdle. My designs last 7 to 10 days with the 'guinea pig' leaving the henna on about 2 to 4 hours - what can I say teenagers can't sit still! Any tips in this area would be very helpful. Also, I'll be watching your scientific trials - this is how I like to work, so I'm glad to see this started. Thanks for all the great input.
