Kenzi knows just how much I love her henna. I've tried numerous
other ones to compare and I always come back to Kenzi's. I can't say
enough good things about it. I get a gorgeous deep burgundy and
never have to strain it, dry or wet.

I used to use a brew to mix the henna (fresh lemon jusice, & a brew
of loose black Chinese tea, whole cloves & tamarind), now all I use
is lemon juice and sometimes lemon, sweet orange or lavender oil to
scent it (depends what a client requests, or what my mood is that day
if it's for a public thing). As for fading, I like mine fading
naturally and will occasionally re henna a new design when the old
one is almost gone, but I usually just wait. peace & henna, Jen
