How to Create Henna Mixture for Henna Stencils?

Some people go with premade henna cones instead of a henna mixture, but we would advise against it. Firstly, most premade henna cones are loaded with chemicals and can harm your skin. Secondly, a henna mix is easier to apply over a stencil as compared to henna cones. Without further ado, let’s look at the items you will need to create your henna paste:

• A plastic bowl
• A Spatula
• A brush or spoon (for application)
• One pack of organic henna powder in a color of your choice (black, brown, and red tones look the best)
• Warm water

How to Prepare Henna?

• In a bowl, add a few tablespoons of henna powder, depending on the amount you need.
• Add enough water to create a thick paste. Your paste needs to have a yogurt-like consistency.
• Mix well and cover the bowl with a lid or a plastic wrap.
• Leave it to sit overnight.
• In the morning, apply it to your body with the help of a henna stencil. (Detailed instructions are given below)
