How do you use henna block i bourt it but dont know how to use it can you help?

Answer 1

Application

Well there is no getting away from the fact that applying Henna is a very messy procedure but it is worth it honest.

This is what you will need,

Two bowls that will fit inside one another and still leave room for water in between.

2 Pairs of plastic gloves.

1 Tight fitting shower cap or a roll of cling film.

An old towel that you don't mind getting a few marks on.

Preparing the Henna.

This is the method that I have found to be easiest.

Break off the amount of blocks you think you will need to give you hair a good coverage, 3 blocks will do hair which is quite long.

Either Grate or using a pestle and mortar break up the Henna Blocks so that they will mix much more easily, before you start this put the kettle on.

When the kettle boils add the water to cover the Henna which you have put in the first smaller bowl and mix well getting rid of all the lumps and it should be the consistency of wall paper paste.

Add boiling water to the larger bowl and place the smaller one inside it so that it heats the henna paste up again as it will cool as you are mixing

Preparing your hair.

All you need to do is give your hair a really good brush through and get rid of any knots, I had my hair trimmed before I started using this to get rid of any split ends. It can be worth applying a thin layer of Vaseline around your hairline to prevent any staining but to be honest I have not found this to be a problem so far as any stains on your skin usually come off when you shampoo your hair after treatment.
