For the preparation of henna you need to buy, preferably in a store of oriental products, a special fine hen powder, so that there are no lumps in the solution.

The powder itself is yellow-green, but if you want a different color, you can add ground coffee, tea, lemon juice into the mixture, achieving different shades. It is necessary to know that the longer the mixture is on the skin, the darker the pattern, and even after removing the paste from the skin, the pattern will be pale, and it will appear only after 24 hours.

The mixture is also added sugar, which must first be dissolved with water or lemon juice, so that henna tattoos stay at home longer and are better fixed to the skin. With the same purpose, you can add essential oils, which, moreover, give the favorite flavor of pasta.

After our mixture is almost ready, it is necessary to close it with polyethylene and put it in a warm place for 12 hours, so that the paste becomes darker, and acquired a rich shade.

Tattoo henna at home can be applied also in several ways: according to the eastern technology this is done quite simply, there are pre-prepared stencils with a cut out pattern. It is simply applied to the surface of the skin and the paste is placed on top of the stencil . This can be done with a brush or a syringe. After the whole drawing is made, the stencil along with the paste is fixed to the hand with a bandage and so leave for at least 8 hours, and it is better to leave it for the night, then the picture will be brighter and clearer.

If you suddenly did not have a special stencil at hand, do not despair, you can use another method of applying henna tattoos at home. We apply a contour of any pattern to the skin with the help of a ballpoint pen, and then accurately lay out the paste accurately, you can use a brush.
