The problem with the henna pre-mix cones is that the outer coating is metal based and sometimes it is difficult to work with. If you are working for hours on end, your hand will feel the build up of pressure and you will feel tired and willing to give up!

The best method for any henna artist is to make your own cones . From experience, the henna powder to paste mixing process is time consuming and often seemingly for unknown reasons the strength of colour per batch can vary greatly. Therefore working with the pre-mix paste but through a cone in our experience is the best option.

You will need 2 x 30gram pre-mix tubes. I work with an imported plastic bag 8” x 10” which has a very fine seal along the edging of the plastic. The finer the edging of the plastic seal the better. The henna will drop onto the skin without curling around the edge of the plastic. If your plastic bag has a heavier edging then it is advisable to trim this down.

Fold the bag down, so that the henna falls only into one corner only. Try to keep this process clean so that henna paste is not wasted. Leave the henna at the top of the cone where the elastic will be later fastened or your hands will soon be very dirty!

Cut the end of both cones at the reverse end and gently squeeze into one corner only.

Once two tubes have been emptied, gently squeeze all of the henna into one corner and fasten tightly with an elastic band. It is always best to double over the elastic band so that you do not need to repeat the process so many times. Ensure that the cone is stiff on all sides. This will help you to hold the cone much more easily.

As the henna is used within the cone , the cone will become soft. Keep pushing the elastic band down to tightens the cone . Ensure that this process is done over a tissue to avoid henna squirting out and ruining clothes.

Once your cone is finished the steadiest hand is needed to cut the end of the cone . It is important to start with a small cut and work up. If the hole is too small, there may be too much pressure from your hand on the seam and the cone may split down the sides. If you cut the hole too big the henna will come out too thick and you will find intricate designs impossible. The size of the hole is personal preference and I would not say that this is the easiest of processes for a novice. Just keep practicing and it will come!
