In reply to: MDH Henna powder (results). posted by Jewel on November 9, 2001 at 09:36:01:

: I met Lezard recently (lovely chap!!) and he gave me some henna to
: try. It's MDH Henna which he bought when he was in Thailand (and I
: believe you got it pretty cheap too, eh Lezard?). I think I've seen
: it on the forum before (or someone mentioning about it). Lezard
: wanted me to try it 'cos it gave him great results. He gets almost
: black stains on his soles after just 1 hour.
:
: I mixed it up with bottled lime juice (the drinking kind) and soaked
: it for about 3 - 4 hours (I put it out in the hot sun for about an
: hour). Then I added ravensara and cajeput EOs and let the paste sit
: for another 4 - 5 hours before I applied it on my right hand. I was
: so inspired by Catherine's right hand henna that I hennaed my right
: hand that very same night I saw her post (thank you, Catherine!!).
:
: I took one hour to finish drawing (didn't know I'm a lefty henna
: person .. heheh) and went to bed with no sealants or wraps. The
paste
: was on the skin for about 4 hours. When I scraped it off, the stain
: was a bright reddish orange. It only started darkening about 24
hours
: later. I was watching the darkening process! Now (3 days later),
some
: parts of the pattern is BLACK. The overall colour is a deep reddish
: brown.
:
: Does anybody ever use this henna? Does anyone know where is it from?
:
: Love & peace,
