The Henna Page - How to mix henna

What do you need to mix a simple henna paste? Not much! You'll need a container, a spoon, henna and lemon juice.

You don't need much to make good henna paste! Henna and lemon juice will get you started. Mix your paste in a ceramic or plastic bowl, and use a plastic spoon. Some people use metal bowls and spoons, but the acidic henna mix can react with some metals and tarnish them.

Most henna needs to be sifted before you start!
Here's how to sift your henna!
