Henna powder
Henna is a plant whose leaves can be used as pigments in various fields, in fact, has been used for many years for cosmetic purposes owing to their properties for pigmentation. Over time, the paste made from the leaves of this plant has been used to color the skin, hair, wool and leather.
Generally, the ink is obtained from the paste made from the plant, which is not harmful to the skin and does not pose any significant risk, except for some particular cases (check with your dermatologist before). Tannin molecule contains a dye known as hennotanico acid can penetrate the skin without spreading, unlike the ink.
Beyond all this, and as we know, the henna is not permanent and over time loses color and intensity. Henna is also a good idea to decorate, decorate, paint or alter a real tattoo that we did in the past.
Fresh leaves of the plant are the best option, however, are not always easy to get. Anyway, the plant can be achieved in powder or paste in some supermarkets and some department stores. Anyway, I said all that, let's see now what we will need.
Fresh leaves of henna/henna powder Lemon or other liquid with low PH
Oil containing terpineol
Sugar syrup
A container other than metal for mixing
Plastic wrap
The first step is very important. It is getting fresh ingredients and possibly the more natural the better. The brown and dark green are often the most popular and also work better. If you use henna powder, then we can keep in the fridge or in the refrigerator to keep it fresh, can give a new future use for about a year.
Before you get to prepare the henna, first select the design you will use, so you know what quantities of ingredients you'll need. A small design (5 to 10 cm) take a teaspoon of powder while a large one for a drawing in the arm for example, will take about 200 grams.
To prepare the mixture, having taken into account the ingredients and amounts, pour the powder into a bowl and stir gently but consistent with lemon shape to form the substance. It is necessary to stir constantly and incessantly, making sure no lumps.
The consistency should be something of a compromise between eg toothpaste and pudding. We realize that the mixture is ready when we hang a spoon and not dripping. You should not have a liquid consistency so as to reach dripping but be consistent and well unified.
Now we have to progressively and carefully pour the sugar syrup to help with consistency. If the mixture will use the hair, we do this step. Finally, after having achieved the consistency we wanted, we add a few drops of essential oil. A good choice is one of lavender and protects sensitive skin.
With our ready to make a henna tattoo mix, we cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent drying. It is recommended especially not leave the container in a warm or hot site.
