I am so in love with my Moroccan henna- it's got amazing longevity.
I had paste mixed with lemon and a tad of euclyptus oil in my car for
a week at above 80 degree temps in the OUTSIDE air, put it on for
about 5 minutes, and got a stain lasting five days. If I LS, wrap,
and leave on overnight, I can be assured of 5 clear weeks on my
palm. There's a picture on the henna page of my website of a design
done in my Moroccan henna at 5 weeks. I've tried Kenzi's, and hers
is just the same lovely stuff as what I sell- bright green, fresh,
fragrant, mixes up all gooey-smooth. Moroccan Rocks!

remains

with
