I just wanted to give you guys an idea of how long this stuff remains
potent - I just did an experimental design using henna that has been
in my fridge, already mixed, for 3 months!! I, too, hate to throw
anything away, and thought I would see if the henna had any staining
power left. So I did a doodle on my foot, left it on for 2 hours with
no L/S, scraped it off and got a decent, medium brown stain similar to
the way it looks when a design has already lost peak color, but not
yet 'faded'.It only lasted a couple of days (or one good loofah
scrub), so I don't think it penetrated many layers of skin, but this
is something to think about for those who don't want a long lasting
design or a good way to supply the "freebie kids" we are all faced
with whom we know are going to ruin the design anyway...

The henna was mixed with clove infused black tea, lemon juice, and a
few drops of euc oil, and was stored in carrot bags, in a ziploc, in
the fridge (left overs from a henna class back in April). It WAS a
little runny, but if I hadn't been lazy I could have strained it and
it probably would have been fine....

Anybody else have good/better results with already mixed henna as old?
I haven't tried freezing it yet..
