Store the extra immediately in your freezer in some way that no air
touches the henna paste. Freeze it IN the cones or such. You can keep
it in reasonable shape for a while, but not forever. Henna paste
reacts with the air and degrades pretty quickly. If you teach
frequently, leftover paste is fine for first time students.
When you're mixing, try one heaping tablespoon of henna powder per 2
hours of fineline hennaeing. 100 grams mixed is WAY enough for a full
day's gig.
If you are working during a VERY hot day, your henna paste can reach
dye release in just a few hours, so consider mixing up fresh a few
times during the day. You can jumpstart a batch by leaving the mix in
your car with the windows rolled up.
If you frequently have leftover maxed out henna, stockpile it in the
freezer in a big plastic bowl with a snaplid, and use it to henna your
hair once a month.
