I am beginning to think that the specific henna does make adifference. Now I have never gotten the deep deep stains in 15
minutes but I have gotten deep deep stains using cajeput left on
longer. I was experimenting with a shaded design last night and put
two different hennas (both with cajeput) on my hand and arm in
spaces. One gave me the medium stain I was looking for after about
30 minutes and the other appeared to have given me a lighter medium
stain in the same time. But when I put the cooking oil on the stains
to get the residual dried paste off, it began to completely lift off
the lighter medium stain done with one type of henna. Seems the
stain was superficial and had not penetrated enough in the time it
had been left on. I actually get the best bang for the buck from
cajeput that I still l/s, wrap and sweat over night with. The
resulting stain that I get then really lets me know what the cajeput
can do. And yes, it still gets darker over time.
