>>: 1) Ask what's in the henna paste! >>If the paste is black, it is probably NOT henna. This is simply not true -- Your rant is great, as usual, but I beg to differ with details on one of your questions. My henna often turns from green to black during mixing, or during application when it begins to dry on the skin -- especially when I use instant coffee or the infamous "Diva" mix. Asking what is in the mix is much better than a neophyte trying to judge what's in it from the color of the paste! (because of variations in recipes and in different reactions of henna to ingredients) I find that using or not using oils also affects the color of the paste. When using only lemon juice the henna stays much brighter green. It is always a good idea to ask each and every customer if their skin is sensitive or if they have allergies. Many people are allergic to citrus!
