X has Lawsone, a dye molecule which can then migrate out of the

paste, breach cell walls and bind with the keratin. If the idea of it

"migrating" from X into keratin seems confusing, compare it to this: if

you put a wet teabag on a white table cloth, the tannin in the tea

"migrates" from the teabag into the cloth fibers, binds with those

fibers, and leaves a stain.  And, the longer you leave the teabag

there, the darker the stain.

bands, on the forearms, lower legs, and often the

neck that are present at birth. The creases
