Mixing Pure Henna for Body Art:

1.  Mix pure henna in warm water and let sit for 2 hours. (1 to 1 ¼ cup per 100 grams)
2.  Add fresh squeezed lemon juice to the mixture. (Use the juice of 1 lemon per 100 grams of powder)
3.  Clean the part of the body where henna is to be applied & apply a thin layer of henna oil to the skin.
4.  Make attractive designs on hands and feet with the help of cones or an applicator bottle.
5.  Let the paste sit for 1-3 hours or until the paste flakes off naturally.
6.  Apply another thin layer of henna oil. (This will darken the stain even more)
