How much henna do I need?

The usual amount of henna that we all buy from online stores are 100g packets which would give us: 
10-12 henna cones each approximately 25 to 30 grams. It will be enough henna to do around 100 small designs or 2 full bridal henna applications.

However when we buy henna, its usually for ourselves to use on our own and only may need a small amount so we dont use up all our henna powder. So here is how to make a 25g amount.

Henna recipes to make henna designs  (Normal cone) 25g

• Wear disposable gloves
• Add 25g henna powder into disposable bowl
• 2 teaspoons (8g) sugar
• 2 teaspoons (8ml) lavender essential oil
• Water or lemon juice to desired texture

• Leave in a warm place to release its organic natural dye. 23-30 Celsius (75-85 Fahrenheit ) is the preferred temperature for henna paste.
• Leave for 2-6 hours if using water or 24 hours if using lemon juice.
• After use, simply store away any left over henna in the refridgerator.
