HOW TO PRIPARE MEHENDI PASTE


* Take a quantity of fine henna powder & strain the powder through muslin cloth a couple of times.
*  In a bowl take the strained heena powder,put some sugar granules,juice of two lemons ,little bit of mehendi oil and mix well with the help of water.

*  The entire mix should look like a thick paste. Leave it to season for about an hour or two.
* Pour the seasoned henna paste into the henna cone. The cones are available in the Indian market also.
* Squeeze lemon juice in a bowl & add sugar to it to make it sticky. Apply this mixture to the area where the henna is to be applied with a clean cotton patch. It will keep the henna paste glued to the applied areas.
* Apply henna in desired pattern. Keep it glued in that pattern for nearly one and half hour or two. Scrap off the dried henna after that period. Now apply mustard oil in the henna painted area. This area should be kept off water . This will help henna colour season into pleasing deep brown colour. Using the best quality of heena powder and mehendi oil will bring a good colour on your hand.
