Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and live in sunny, humid Florida.
I mixed my first batch of henna last yesertday morning - Jamila 2009 (Batch 031011) with some lemon juice (and diet soda - I ran out of lemon juice), a squirt of honey and some cajeput & geranium EO. I had some evidence of dye release after only 8 hours (I mixed inside of a zippy bag and left it sit on a white paper towel, which started turning orange) so I went ahead and filled my cones......
Application was pretty easy, it seemed like I had a pretty smooth paste (I sifted prior to mixing and strained it before filling my cones), but the finer lines cracked pretty badly and even today the larger design I tried is cracking. What should I have done differently?
Thanks!
