Tara,My hair is pretty long, nearly waist-length, and I find Fia's gel
method helps a lot in getting an even distribution and the rinsing
out is soooooooo simple. I can't see myself ever doing it any other
way. I do a variation where I put the stuff (henna and additives) in
tea bags (very large ones and a few of them). You can also tie off
coffee filters. Then I soak the henna in warm water for dye release
(however many hours you usually wait). I do the pectin, thickening,
boiling step separately so I don't have to boil the henna. After dye
release from your henna, you can take out the henna, and you'll have
a concentrated dye that you can add to the pectin thickened paste.
With the tea filters there is not need to separately filter the mix.
