A bit like baking bread

Comments:
: When you make bread the amount of flour the recipe calls for is : always an estimate. Humidity, amount of moisture in the flour and : small differences in the measure of other ingredients make it : impossible to judge exactly. Henna is similar. Both henna and bread : take some practice so you will be able to judge how much of each : ingredient is adequate and when you have the right texture for your : applicator. Most people don't note their recipes in exact quantities : because that is not how they make their paste. If you want cheap : and simple, start with a few tablespoons of sifted henna and add : lemon juice until everything is wet and oozing. Let sit overnight : and add more lemon juice to adjust consistency until it flows out of : your applicator and doesn't spread when you apply it to skin. All : the other ingredients you can add will tweak the color and texture : and can be fun to experiment with. They are not however required. : : Does any one have any recipes to make this stuff dark. : : Or any ways to make a set up to use the same amount to : : use each time with the right ingredients measured out to : : use at the same time, if you know what I mean. : : Example: : : 4 tablespoons powder : : 3 teaspoons oil or whatever : : 2 teaspoons of this : : 1 tablespoon of that : : This makes life so much eazy. : : Thanks, Craig Erlenmeyer
