Henna Question?

Question

I mixed up some Henna last week and have not used it yet. Air has not touched it. Is it still Good?

Answer 1

Henna must be treated like a fresh vegetable, since it is a vegetable dye.
Keep it in the freezer at all times unless you are using it.
It only takes 15 minutes to thaw a bit to use.

Be sure to use only safe and natural 100 % pure henna .
Have fun with it.
Yours may still be usable, but the dye duration may be less than if you stored it in the freezer.
Mix with lemon juice, sugar, and essential oils for rich dark color and leave on the skin for 4-6 hours . Scrape it off and avoid water for 24 hours. Avoid petroleum products like baby oil , and use moisturizer to help keep it on longer.
Henna is the only safe natural dye for the skin

Answer 2

My gf says "yes" - she tends to play with it a lot. Best to keep it refrigerated if you can. Henna comes from fairly warm climates, so even mixed it will last a fairly long time in the refrigerator. Excellent that you're keeping it away from air, and quite possibly more important than keeping it cool.

She's kept unmixed henna in the freezer for as long as 5 years and it worked fine. I'd actually guess it'd keep pretty much indefinitely that way.

Answer 3

I bought a henna kit years ago and it still works fine! Although I find I have to leave it on a bit longer... should be okay after a week I should think.

Answer 4

Yeah, Henna never goes bad. Just mix a little water in it. Then just apply to your body, that's it. You can do this all the time. That why I love it! It's really cool.

Answer 6

If it is for your hair I would say to not use it, but if it is for your hands you can use it. To get the colour nice and dark try the following:

- Do not wash hands once you are removing Mehndi, rub off area with hands
- Use Vicks or Tiger balm on the area where Mehndi was placed, rub it in, this will make the colour darker
- You could also heat cloves in a pan, and fan the area where the Mehndi was placed to deepen the colour

Good Luck
