Cone-a-phobia!

Posted by Kenzi on February 15, 2000 at 00:57:15:

I got stuck using a cone this weekend and it was a disaster! I
usually use the bottle with metal tips, but forgot the bottles at
home when doing a house-call. All I had were a few cones which were
supposed to be back up for the bottles. I have practiced a little
with the cones but, of course, with a client, everything went wrong.
The tips clogged more than ever with my jacquard bottle, the henna
squirted out everywhere, all over my hands, the lines were too thin,
controlling the opening of the cone was inconsistent from one cone to
another, and it was much more difficult to get straight lines. The
end result was the worst henna I have ever done. My client was very
understanding but still....!

Can anyone convince me not to give up on cones entirely? Any
pointers that I may have missed in my detailed perusal of the
archives? Meanwhile I sit here typing with orange hands, thinking
about what to do with that big box of freezer bags I just bought!
