: A couple of questions, though:
Ok, I'm rather new to all this but I'll take a stab at answering
some things for you. Experts..please do jump in to correct me ;)

:
: 1. How does the length of time affect the outcome? I left it on
: about an hour, but some of you have left it on overnight??? wow.
Well, I don't know about overnight...but anyway..the longer the
henna is left on the more time it has to sink in and stain. Longer
for the dye molecules to really get into your hair.

: 2. Why does the color continue to change in the days following
: application?
Oxidation. That's all I can tell ya

: 3. How does waiting for the dye to release affect the color?
Oh shoot...had this answer but lost it..sorry..my mind's not all
with me at the moment ;)

: 4. When you post recipes for mixed, how much of each ingredient
did
: you use?
heck the mixes page for precise measured mixes. Or if you're
interested in one you've seen mentioned here..just ask ;) We're all
willing to share our trials.

HTH a bit. Like I said...anyone else..feel free to jump in,
correct, elaborate ;)
