Hmmm... It was around 70 degrees the whole weekend, especially when
the paste was on. Would that be the difference?
See, the reason I keep posting is because I know I'm missing
something, and every time, I get good advice. What can I do for this
weekend when it's not likely to be very hot, either?

: Hi,
:
: I've only been doing henna for a couple of weeks but I've been
using terped solutions (tea tree & rosemary) and been getting
different results. When the weather was cold I got the results you've
been describing, when the weather was hot (30 Celcius) it got darker.
:
: Right now the weather is cool. I just did both my legs, my right
leg is a very faint tangerine, my left looks like it was done with
bright orange felt tip pen (a good indication that it will turn
darker in the next 24 hours). The difference? I dried the left leg in
front of an electric heater (hair dryer would be more convenient, but
I can't find mine).
:
: So, maybe it will help to experiment with different drying
conditions?
: Good luck, anyway. :)
