: Hi everyone,
: We know we want fresh henna powder, but how long is it okay to store
: it? I ordered too much to do my hair, and wonder if keeping the
: leftover powder in the fridge for a month or so would be okay.
: OR...do you think its better to mix it and then freeze the paste?

I keep the powder in the freezer for months, and the paste in the freezer for about
a month (whenever I need to rehenna). A couple of days ago I thawed the paste
to touch up the edge of my face and my nails.

: Also: anybody recommend another strand test before rehennaing? Or do
: the results stay pretty consistent each time provided the powder is
: fresh?

I don't bother. I just rehenna; if it's too light, it means I didn't use enough lemon
juice, or something like that.
