The other day I made a mistake and forgot to mix in the tea tree oil
that I normally use. So I let the paste sit 48 hours instead of my
usual 24 hours with just the vinegar. I tried it out on 5 different
people (friends and neighbors) because I wasn't sure if I had blown
it by waiting too long. But all of them got a great rich brown color!
(4 ankles and one upper arm) In fact after seeing these results I
want to do a comparison test between a 24 and a 48 hour wait. I
normally wait another 24 hours after adding the tea tree oil, so it
could get to be a long process....
: I know we can't determine exactly at what clock-time to do each
part
: of the mix, but are there benchmarks? For example, after mixing
the
: paste, at what point do I add in the terp oils? Do I need the
paste
: to be at full efficiency first or am I adding before or after
peak?
: I'm going home to mix up some of my moroccan henna tonight for a
fair
: starting tomorrow night.
