I usually get mine really really (almost boiling) hot so that it releases a little. I leave it until it cools enough to handle (15-20m). If you're not looking for dye release you can use whatever temperature is comfortable and apply immediately. I know it says SL needs 3 boxes (300g), but my APL length hair doesn't take more than 1 box (100g) at a time. It's hard to say. Although you can store henna for a few days in the frig or a few months in the freeze. I prefer to go under than over.

Oh! Make sure your mix is thick. Don't add to much water. It'll just make a big ol' mess.

I've never used molasses so you'll have to wait for someone else it chime in there.

Good luck!

I have used it before and it aided in darkening my hair but yes to answer your question it was pretty much the same as when i used honey and glycerin in my henna mixes.
