I also tried a mask, and i noticed another problem- The henna moves!
I did a design on the back of my hand, put the mask on it, and the
mask actually re-hydrated the henna to the point that it looked like
i had just applied it! This was before the mask had the chance to dry
very much, so it slid all over the place! I managed to keep it from
doing much more damage, but when i took it off in the morning, the
designs were all blurred, and the color was rather light.

then

: design
: : and then wrap it in Micropore or whatever the person wants.

: Yes, we do, and I've tried this (it was the night I forgot to

couldn't
: open it, so I had to scrounge for fixatives! I ended up using hair
: spray and face mask. :-P). btw the hairspray (it was a pump, I
don't
: use aerosols) worked well in a pinch.

: BUT the masks drive me crazy! I just love to peel them, and when
: they dry on my skin I go NUTS if I can't peel it immediately!
Utterly

audience

from

which
