CHOCOLATE PUDDING!!!!! LOL

[HennaByHeather]

A few notes:

I now recommend using cajeput essential oil. It's waaaaay better. You can get it at ArtisticAdornment.

Yup, henna looks like baby poo or mud. But wouldn't any ground up powdered plant leaves mixed with liquid? We're basically just making very purposeful, specialized, fancy mud here.

Nope, there's no sugar in my henna. It's humid as all heck in New England and it makes it take waaaay too long to dry if you mix sugar in there (which makes it suck up moisture from the air).

Thanks for watching this video! Please also check out my channel for new (MUCH BETTER!) videos :)

And no - food oil doesn't have the monoterpene alcohols in it that you need. Cajeput essential oil is best, others with monoterpene alcohols are okay.

As for the nice deep red color, it is possible only on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Try applying your henna there!

@73Stargazer It is henna, you need to make sure you give your henna enough time to let the dye release, that time depends on the region your henna is from, Moroccan henna needs 6-8 hrs, henna from Rajasthan about 12 hrs. I heard people get the best result with Jamila henna after 48 hrs dye release. Then leave it on over night but at least for 6 hrs, after the paste is scraped off, apply henna balm or henna oil everytime before the design comes in contact with water.

i've seen some pictures of the stain left behind being a beautiful deep cherry red. I'm wondering, if that is really henna, how you would make the concoction so you can get that beautiful colour, or what you need to add to the pattern once it's on your skin.

my tattoos always end up a nice orangey brown. but i would love that dramatic red.
