I have always had problems applying henna with a jaquard bottle when i
sift and mix the henna myself, i triple sift with a nylon stocking and
have tryed lots of recipes, it always clogs, spits and stops, it is so
frustrating that i can^t work with it. I can transfer the premixed
paste from a Jani cone to a jaquard bottle and not have problems.
Recently i tryed a sample of fresh henna, triple sifted from the
body arts co. in Ojai, and it works beautifully, no problem mixing and
it comes out of even a #5 tip beautifully, no problems with clogging,
it just flows. So what^s the problem? The price. It^s only henna.
Isn^t it? I have noticed through reading the forum and other pages on
the net, that a lot of you recommend and use Castle Arts henna powder,
the price is more reasonable than body arts. Also mehndi mud is
recommended by many of you. My question is _ does it apply as easily
and smoothly without clogging like the body arts^ henna. They
guaranty that it won^t clog, and it doesn^t by golly. I am happy with
the henna from body arts co. , it^s just that it^s 50 Canadian dollars
for 200 grams, i can buy 100 grams of henna in a box called ZARQUA
and it looks sifted, for 3 can. dollars, but it clogs when i mix it.
If i can^t find something else for a better price that works ,
then i will use the body arts stuff because at least i can work with
it.
In summary, i am looking for fresh,sifted henna that flows nicely
through a Jaquard bottle without clogging, and of course stains nicely
for a reasonable price, and are there any Canadian suppliers? That
American dollar is tough on us Canadians.
