: How come we are just hearing about this now?

Because ... either someone knew and kept it a company secret
(likely)

... OR ......

nobody knew before .. in which case,

I'm the first person to be so totally consumed and curious about henna
to persist and figure it out.... and Jeremy's Forum gave me the means.

( I doubt if I'm the first person to figure it out, but I've never
seen this information written ANYWHERE, so I had to figure it out
myself ... so it is certainly new to me!)

People on the Forum and and off have generously helped me by telling
me a bit of this and that about chemistry until I was able to put
things together. I've been researching every aspect of henna for over
a decade, and it takes up ALL my time now!
Dozens of people have each given me a tiny scrap of info on this to
make it possible to figure this out. (and I DON'T have it all figured
out yet)

... so ...

it DOES seem that I'm the FIRST person to make this information
freely available each step of the way to EVERYONE.

Why didn't I keep it all secret and create a new profitable industry
for myself? Because I wouldn't be doing a service to the greater good
of henna ... I'd only be serving myself. And, that'd be no damn fun
at all. And, anyway, wouldn't it be awfully sucky if I used Jeremy's
free forum space, and everybody's help just to put money in my own
pocket? Eeeeeuuuuuu.
