: Nice one. :)

: We've been experimenting with the tip Kenzi picked up of sieving
the
: paste. Find a fine plastic sieve, pop the paste in once it's been
: mixed to application consistency, then push it gently through with
a
: teaspoon. You may need to use another teaspoon to scrape the henna
: off the other side of the sieve.

: Kenzi's theory was that not all the powder goes into a smooth
paste,
: and the sieve removes the lumps. The paste sure looks good when it
: comes out the other side and it does reduce clogging.

I have the same problem. I am always getting lumps when I mix up
some paste. I prefer to strain the paste through a few layers of old
panyhose nylons rather then do any sifting.
