DIY Henna Powder Set

A heap of sifted green-brown henna powder on a slate board.

Highlights

• Sifted henna powder 200 g, eucalyptus oil 10 ml dropper, mixing bowl and spoon
• Mix your own paste: powder, a little lemon juice and sugar water, rest overnight
• Use within 6 months; the finished paste keeps about a week in the freezer

Care

Patch test: dot a little paste on the inner wrist first if your skin is sensitive, and wash it off if the skin feels sore. Keep paste away from eyes. Henna stains fabric, so cover clothes and sofas. Store cones in the freezer and thaw 20 to 30 minutes before use. Colour depends on skin, paste age and aftercare; we cannot promise a shade.
