It's Henna-tea!! n/tPosted by Deborah on January 29, 2004 at 12:27:47: In reply to: Re: Henna for my dreads posted by Fia on January 29, 2004 at 12:18:55: : There is a slightly different version of the gelled version ofhenna (see down below on : the forum). : : Mix the henna powder with lots of warm liquid (even more than what's in that recipe) : - it shouldn't be anything like a paste, just like liquid with some henna added - to get : a dye release. Then strain the liquid to get most (or all) of the fixed particles out of : the henna - you're basically left with a liquid henna dye. Then boil a smaller amount : of liquid with the pectin and whisk that into the liquid henna dye to gel it. : : I've tried that version too - it's a royal mess to prepare and for me it was more pain : than the pros I got out of it. There are some definite advantages - you'll get a very : lightweight application and a very painless rinsing out procedure as there are : virtually no fixed particles left to stay on the hair. For you with the dreads I guess this : is what you want to try if you want henna color on them... : : /Fia
