For the ammonia thing ... I say no children, because I don't want
children to have painful accidents. That's mostly a "mom" thing.
If you have well calloused, firm skinned hands from sports, the
ammonia should be fine for you, but do it when parents are home to
help you rinse quickly if you should accidently splash some on tender
skin or on a cut. If your hands are soft and sleek from using the
computer more than a hockey stick .... don't do the ammonia. It's too
harsh for soft hands.
If the burn was healed over, the henna shouldn't have done it any
harm. I occasionally get brown freckles from hennaeing skin that is
broken. (Henna pattern passing over cat scratches, that sort of
thing). I have one henna freckle from hennaeing over a cut 10 years
ago.
