: Go to the Mixes page again, and click on Fia's mixes (also linked
: below). She has devised a way of making a henna gel. It uses far
: less henna and is much easier to apply and rinse, or so the people
who
: use it claim. It seems to have a very devoted following here. I
: don't henna any more, I just henna friends, and my one attempt at
: making a gel failed, but I think it was a problem with the type of
: pectin I used.

: But again, test test test!

Hmmm...I'm beginning to like this but,I wanted to stay away from the
lemon juice as it is acidic and does strip the hair a bit...there
are people who don't mix the henna with juice..just the boiling
water. Fia mentions the acid in the juice is necessary...do you
think it would work with just the powder, water and pectin?
