On the unsealed ravensara thing...I suspect that the hige-terpine mixes do as well as or BETTER without
sealing! I think they need more access to oxygen to do their job than
the non-terped paste. So, though NS or something keeps the henna
parked nicely, . I haven't done many side-by's with this yet, but so
far ..... high-terp pastes left on a couple of hours does every bit as
well as many hours with a sealer. Perhaps if you can add sugar or egg
to make the henna adhere more, sealing may not be particularly
helpful.
I'm VERY happy that the Ravensara worked for you! It's fantastic to
find a safe, ethical way to get the dark fast results that people want
... and not have to go broke buying a pricy pre-mix. I can mix up 16
oz. of caj-paste for no more than $13, and the color is stunning.
Compare that to pre-mixes? Hmmmm.
Also, as the FDA clamps down on pre-mixes that don't have full
disclosure of ingredients ... it does seem imperative to learn to do
this onesself, if only to avoid delays in shipment! (they detained a
shipment of Earth Henna kits .. so they're getting right sniffy!)
