: : :Here's a straightforward recipe that hasn't failed me yet....sift : : your 100% red henna powder (from whatever source, Egypt, India, : : Pakistan,.....) through a fine tea strainer to remove the leftover : : grit and twigs. Squeeze fresh lemons or limes and strain the : juice. : : add the juice a little at a time to the henna powder, stirring, : until : : the henna is a paste about the consistancy ot thick cookie dough. : (1 : : lemon for 1 0z henna, approximately) Boil some VERY strong tea or : : espresso and sweeten it with sugar. Add the hot tea or coffee, a : bit : : at a time, stirring it into the henna until the henna is a : consistancy : : a litle softer than toothpaste. : : Apply the henna with a flat toothpick as is done in the : African/Arab : : henna tradition, or make a tiny cake decorator cone with scotch : tape : : and a square of freezer bag, fill it with henna for the : : Pakistani/Indian style mehandi patterns and squeeze it out into : frilly : : paisley and peacock paterns. When these patterns are nearly dry, : dab : : them moist again with a cotton ball dipped in lemon juice. Let : them : : dry again. When the patterns are firm to touch, no longer smooshy, : : cover the hennaed area with cling wrap and tape it in place. This : : will make the hennaed skin hot and sweaty, and the chemistry or : your : : sweat will help the henna to go darker, and your skin pores will : open : : up and accept the henna more. : : Does that help? There are many other slightly different recipes : for : : henna, but all of them are based on getting the henna to ph5 or : : sourer, and warming the skin and henna up to increase the chemical : : reaction. : : We can answer more questions for you at www.mehandi.com , and stop : by : : there any time for free hennaeing patterns and lore. : : There are many other things you can temporarilly decorate your : body : : with, some safe, some not, but nothing else makes the 3-week change : in : : your skin safely like red henna. Not much can get through your : : skin's barrier and color the cells, and there's if it's IN your : skin : : cells, make sure it's not harmful! The other products passing as : : mehandi that are not henna are mostly things staying on top of your : : skin, like resins (Temptu) and inks (acrylic)...or perhaps manic : : panic hair dye which is fda approved for hair, and will dye skin. : : Safety of that on skin? I don't know. Indigo will dye skin, but : the : : stench of extracting the dye from the plantstuff is not sexy.
