Your mix might be too thick. I had trouble with the same (also waist
length) a few months back, but thinning out my mix helped a lot.
Also, you might benefit from sectioning your hair before you start to
henna. You could do it in rows, little squares, or whatever takes
your fancy, just create workable areas of hair and tie them up
separately with rubberbands/ponybands/hairclips/whatever. Then start
at the top or bottom (personal preference, I like the top better) and
work the henna through one section at a time. When you're done you
should have completely coated hair, so put it up and cover however
you normally do. Hope it helps!
