I wasn't storing it in the freezer before, just in the cupboard, so
from now on i think i will try sealing it in the airtight bags and
putting it in the freezer!

Thanks for all the advice!

: : I buy henna off this site but due to my fine hair I only have to use
: : 50g at a time, so I always get half left over. I was just storing it
: : with the pack sellotaped up with the air expelled, but my last one
: : didn't seem to work as well as when it was first fresh (after being
: : stored like that for a month).
: :
: : While I was searching I saw that it can be stored in the freezer, but
: : I got the impression that this meant once it was already mixed up.
: : What about dry henna powder, is this also stored in the freezer? And
: : if so does it need an airtight plastic container or can i just
wrap it
: : up in several air-expelled sellotaped-up bags?
:
: I store it in the freezer and have no problem with it. The henna,
cloves,
: and walnut powder are all inside a bag which is zipped closed in the
: freezer. If your last one didn't work as well, you probably got the
: temperature or the time wrong.
