In reply to: How long Can you Freeze it? posted by Alissa on July 10, 2001 at 21:36:04:

: : Greetings,
: : A wonderful tip I learned here is to store my powder in the
: freezer.
: : It's the best place for it, due to the heat sensitivity of
henna.
: It
: : is also light sensitive, so after you package it you will want to
: : wrap it in foil to keep out all the light and just to be on the
: safe
: : side.
: : Whenever I mix a batch of paste I usually throw half of it in the
: : freezer. That way I always have some handy. It seems to store
: quite
: : well this way. I also store it in the refrigerator if I know I
am
: : going to use it in the next 2 or 3 days.
: :
: : Now, as for your maroon dreams. What brand of henna powder are
you
: : currently using to get 'orange' color with? What liquids are you
: : mixing your powder with? Boiling black tea, dried lime slices
and
: : cloves makes a great liquid to add to the henna powder. There
are
: : all sorts of things you can add to play with the color. I
haven't
: : tried pomegranates or tamarind, but I have always heard those
help
: : tremendously.
: : Just start experimenting and see what you like!
: : Good luck to you,
: : Justine Willowhawk

: : : Does anyone know if henna can be frozen in its powder and/or
: mixed
: : : form? and if so, how long will it last? also, whenever i do a
: henna
: : : design, the designs come out orange! how can i get it to be
more
: : : marroon? thanks, i'm still new at this henna-ing stuff!
:
:
: Just wondering what most people's average freeze time is, and do
you
: re-freeze? How often, and how long does it seem to retain its color
: power? I've had varying results with this so far, and would love
: others' input.
