You can purchase kits off the web or in beauty supply stores, but there are other options. You can create your own henna paste using a few ingredients you probably have around your house. The most difficult ingredient to find is the henna. In larger cities, henna can easily be found at Indian grocery stores or health and beauty stores. Be sure to get 100 percent pure henna so the design lasts longer.
Procedure Use the strainer to sift the henna powder into the glass bowl.
Strain the juice from one lemon into the bowl with the henna powder and stir the mixture. Add lemon juice to make the henna paste as thick as cookie dough. To this, add just enough very hot and strong tea or coffee until the paste is a little softer than toothpaste. Stir the paste until it is very smooth. Cover the paste and leave it overnight for the dye to develop.
