Henna is a desert plant, that when harvested and processed, still has
a lot of desert left in it....it takes persistant sieving and sifting
to get out all the sand and chaff, whic is present in even the finest
henna. All that grit is the chief clogger-up of fine lines! If you
can get all the crud out, and have patiently mixed your paste to a
consistancy a little softer than toothpaste, you can use a yorker tip
bottle, a home-made mehandi cone (the mini cake decorator made of
freezer bags and scotch tape) or a diabetic syringe with the tip
blunted. There is of course, one grand alternative....go for the
fabulous designs from OTHER countries than Pakistan, with bold,
meaningful (not just pretty) patterns, that have the advantages of
fading a little more evenly, and being easy to touch up. There are
patterns for averting the evil eye, ones for preventing your husband
from messing around with other ladies...the list goes on
forever....we've got patterns up every month at www.mehandi.com and
we're happy to answer any questions.....
