4: Form a thick paste by mixing the ingredients together.
To Use
1: Use your regular shampoo and rinse your hair.
2: Use rubber gloves while applying the henna to your hair with a plastic or wooden spoon. Try to avoid applying the henna to your scalp.
3: After the Henna covers the hair, massage the henna mixture to the hair ends.
4: Cover the hair with the plastic bag on top. Secure it with a hair clip or a cloth clip.
5: Remove the henna that might have inadvertently slipped onto your face or stuck to your hand or clothing.
6: Let the mixture set for 30 to 60 minutes.
7: Use warm water to rinse your hair thoroughly until the water runs clear.
8: Follow this up with a regular shampoo. Rinse well with cool water.
