EARTH PRODUCTS - Red Henna Powder - 250g

Henna makes your hair full, glossy, and healthy. Mix 1/2 c powder with strong rooibos or Ceylon tea, or coffee or red wine to soften the intense henna colour. Apply paste to one strand of hair for 15 minutes and wash and blow-dry to gauge intensity before henna-ing your whole head.

Henna powder is also super for body art!

• ​Sift enough Henna to make about 1 1/4 cups dry, sifted Henna powder.
• Place 2 tsp Instant Coffee in a pot and boil hard in about 1 1/2 cups of water until it reduces to about a 3/4 cup of dark liquid.
• Mix just enough coffee liquid into the Henna powder to create a thick paste. The hot liquid will make the powder ball up a little, so be sure to mix it into a well-blended and smooth paste.
• Add about 2 TS of Lemon Juice – fresh is best.
• Add about 5 drops each of Eucalyptus Oil and Clove Oil, and mix in. This should make a thin paste, without being runny. If it is too runny, add a little more sifted Henna powder. If it is too thick, add a little more concentrated coffee liquid, or plain water. Allow the paste to settle and cool for about 2 hours.
• Have fun!
