: Do pre-mixed henna pastes work better or worse then ones mixed
yourself? What kind of color could I expect from a pre mixed paste?
From a beginner's perspective, I think do it yourself is much better.
I'm a klutz, and it actually isn't that hard to mix up a good batch
of long lasting and smooth henna. From a cost point of view, it's
also more cost effective to buy the powder and mix it up than it is to
buy pre-mix.
I also have very sensitive skin, so it's better for me to mix up the
henna myself so that I know exactly what went into it. Henna paste is
not FDA regulated, so some manufacturers add "mystery meat"
ingredients which may be bad for you.
All that said, if mixing henna paste up yourself still sounds scary, a
really good premix to get is Mehendi Mud. I've always gotten really
good red-brown stains from it, but it is a tad expensive.
