: When liquid is boiling whisk the powdered pectin into the liquid - this is

: it will clump together otherwise. Let boil for one full minute - this to
activate the
: pectin and start the gelling process (you'll see that it's starting to
turn slightly thick
: the minute you take it off the heat). Wait a few seconds to let it cool
off some.

: Pour the liquid/pectin mix into the henna powder and stir - I use a
large plastic
: spoon. It will be very hot and very liquid at this stage. Let it stand for
about 20-30
: minutes to cool off - by then it's warm enough to handle and put in
your hair. It will
: look like a thick gel by then - not unlike hair gel - and you should see
dye releasing
: from the henna.
