How to mix & apply


How do you mix and apply henna?
There is NO "one way" or "right way" to mix and apply henna!
There are a thousand ways, each best for a particular situation.
Every henna is different and works well with some mixes and applications and poorly with others. Every henna artist is different, and has favorite hennas, mixes, and tools. Every person has different skin, some responding well to one henna, another responding well to some other. What works perfectly for one person may not work well for another. This Henna Page "How" is an attempt to present some of the diversity of henna mixes and techniques used by Henna Page artists. This "how" will keep growing, and never be entirely complete because henna technique is always growing.
