Mixing Henna
DAY 1
Recipe:
- 100 g henna powder (only legit henna powder. Always get it from Marissa.)
- ¼ cup of white sugar
- 10 mils essential oil (lavender, eucalyptus, tea tree or cajeput.)
- ¾ cup room temperature water (add ½ cup, then more if needed.)
Steps:
- Combine ingredients in a metal bowl. It can stain plastic or wooden bowls.
- Rubber spatula to mix.
- Mix to the consistency of thick, dry mashed potatoes. It should be a little dry/gloopy.
- Cover with Saran Wrap and leave out in room temperature 8+ hours. Put it in the sun or a warm area to develop faster (6 hour minimum if it’s hot)
DAY 2
You need:
- ¼ cup room temperature water
- carrot piping bag (gallon Ziploc in a pinch)
- tall cup
- 12” cellophane sheets, cut in half – any size 5-7” will work, just changes ur cone size
- tape
- sewing pins
- paper towel
- gloves
- rubber spatula
Steps:
- Unwrap your paste after it’s set overnight. You can test it by putting a little dot on your palm. Wipe away after 15 seconds and there should be a bright orange spot.
- Thin the paste out to a creamy toothpaste-like consistency, adding water little by little.
- Put the carrot bag or gallon Ziploc into the tall cup and fill it like for cake frosting.
- Roll cones! Can add extra tape along the outside seam for security. https://youtu.be/7Q1IPv0Ll1k
- Filling and Sealing Henna Cones
- Underfill the cones, it will spread out a lot. Tape the end, fold over, tape again.
- Pin and freeze your cones! Mine take about an hour to thaw and last about 3-4 hours at a gig. I will only refreeze ONCE, after that it’s no good in my experience.
