Materials
Included in the Pure Organic Henna Amateur Kit
- 20 Gr Pure Organic Henna BAQ 1/4 Cup
- 1 1/2 Tsp Essential Oil Cajeput, Lavender
- 3 Empty Cellophane Cones Small (you can use Squeeze Bottles if you like.
Ingredients you will need
- 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice from concentrate
- or Distilled Water if you use distilled water it will be ready in 6- 12 hours
- 1 1/2 Tsp Sugar
Instructions
Lemon Juice Recipe *Note 1
- Mix the henna powder with the lemon juice in a bowl, stir, stir, stir. The paste will be thick, like mashed potatoes.
- Add essential oils and sugar, stir, stir, stir then cover the surface with some wrap that won't let the air in. Let it sit in a warm place for 12-24 hours. 75-80*F approximately, we chose the top of the fridge. *Note 3
- After letting the henna mature for 12-24 hours is ready to be used or stored in the freezer. Adjust the consistency to your liking at this time. The paste should have the consistency of toothpaste, very smooth and creamy. It is too thick add a little distilled water or lemon juice, if is too thin add a pinch of henna powder.
Water Recipe *Note 2
- Mix the henna powder with the distilled water in a bowl, stir, stir, stir. The paste will be thick, like mashed potatoes.
- Add essential oils and sugar, stir, stir, stir then cover the surface with some wrap that won't let the air in. Let it sit in a warm place for 12-24 hours. 75-80*F approximately, we chose the top of the fridge. *Note 3
- After letting the henna sit for 6-8 hours. Check the stain regularly. Do a 5 minute spot test on your palm. When the stain is bright orange your paste is ready. Water mixes are ready faster that lemon mix so you'll need to start checking for dye release at about 6 hours. Adjust the consistency to your liking at this time. The paste should have the consistency of toothpaste, very smooth and creamy. It is too thick add a little distilled water or lemon juice, if is too thin add a pinch of henna powder.
How to Cone Henna Paste
- Cone it up. Once the paste is completely mixed and at your desired consistency you are ready to fill your cones. You can fill the cones with a spoon directly from the bowl to the cones, with care of not get all the top full of henna so you can't seal them completely. You can use the same system to fill the jacquard squeeze bottles.
- From a zip lock bag: pour the mix into a zip lock plastic bag, empty the air out of the bag and seal it tightly. Push the paste towards one of the bottom corners of the bag making a huge cone. Cut a small piece of the corner of the bag. Insert the zip lock cone into the cone you want to fill and squeeze in the paste. Fill the cone until it's approximately 1/2 to 2/3 full, 1-3 tbsp.From a pastry bag: pour the mix into a pastry plastic bag, empty the air out of the bag and seal it tightly use tape or a rubber band. Push the paste towards one of the bottom corners of the bag making a huge cone. Cut a small piece of the corner of the bag. Insert the pastry bag cone into the cone you want to fill and squeeze in the paste. Fill the cone until it's approximately 1/2 to 2/3 full, 1-3 tbsp.
