Step 1
Boil some water in a kettle, and then carefully pour the ‘just boiled’ water into a heat resistant container, (a mug for example) only half filling it. Place the unopened catalyst sachet into the mug of very hot water for a few minutes to heat it through thouroughly. Remove it carefully and turn it over a few times to ensure it is well mixed.
Step 2
Make sure the sticker is still securing the tip of the cone, keeping the henna powder out of the tip, ready for mixing with the hot catalyst solution (dry powder in the tip is very hard to mix into the paste and results in blocking the tip.) Then cut open the catalyst sachet & carefully pour hot contents into the henna cone. Then cut open the wide end of the henna cone ready to pour in the hot catalyst solution.
Step 3
Gently manipulate the henna cone, mixing the henna powder & catalyst solution together for 2-3 minutes. Taking care to ’smooth out’ any lumps of henna powder and to ‘work in’ any remaining liquid. When you are happy with the smooth consistency of the henna paste, remove the sticker and move the product up and down the cone for its final mix. Leave to stand for 4-6 hours before use.
Step 4
Cut the tip of the henna cone very close to the end, a small hole makes fine line work possible. If you prefer to work with a thicker line, then just cut a little more off the tip of the cone. Then gently squeeze the henna paste towards the tip of the cone, and use a rubber-band to seal up the wide open end of the cone. You can also use various tapes or a heat sealer to seal the back of the cone if you prefer.
