Mixing & Applying Henna
This is a simple recipe for mixing henna. It's the same one we've been using to decorate clients and teaching to others for several years. Its simplicity is one of the reasons we use it. Except for the henna powder, all the tools and materials needed to mix the recipe and apply the paste can be found in most kitchens, or at almost any grocery store. Also. because it's simple, it's an easy recipe to teach and for others to learn and remember.
If you are new to henna painting, this recipe is a good start, but look around at what other practicioners are doing too. Keep in mind that no recipe is a guarantee of immediate success because there are a great many variables that affect the results you get, so you have to be willing to inquire and experiment until you find a combination of materials and techniques that works for you.
First of all obviously you'll need a Lungi, they come in all size and colours, but shafar (with flowers) lungi is in fashion right now.
