Well right now I have henna soup. I want something that doesn't drip
everywhere and rinses in less than an hour.

: I'm not sure about turning it into gel, but I too have the same "non

: exactly as the instructions say).

: stretches out 100 grams and with my long hair that's a great
: benefit. I think the gel simply makes it thicker even though 500ml
: of fluid is added to it, stretching the henna but not really
: affecting the consistency. My most recent recipe I use the "no sugar
: necessary" pectin and instead of only using half of it (as the
: recipe says) I just dump in the whole little box.

: I've also noticed that the mix isn't so lumpy using the gel
: technique.
