: Why do they need to be added just before putting henna in the bottle
: or cone?

I add it last thing because I don't like the granulation that occurs
in the henna texture once you add the terp-nuke. Gwyn had very little
trouble with the granular texture, but she was using a jac bottle
(carrot bag didn't suit her ..... perhaps because she's a southpaw)
(I rely on slinky texture to make carrot bags do their best).

The color progression, stain characteristics and fade-down with terps
are a whole new playground to explore! It's interesting to have
alternatives to play more with color range and appropriateness to body
part and situation.

IN any case ... my $6 bottle of cajeput is easily enough to nuke up
about 200 g of dry henna mixed..... so ..... the amount of henna that
you'd mix up with a CA or Jamila powder 100 g packet and and full terp
nuke would be no more than $10 .... so ..... if you can home-brew
henna that maxes espresso-brown on thin skin at $10 per full
buttertub ... how does that compare to pre-mixes prices?
