Hi Michelle, First, I find it depends on what oil you're using. I
usually only use oils to make the henna smell pretty, and have found
that if I mix 2 tbsp of powder (which ends up being double when it's
a paste), I only need about 4 - 8 drops of oil. Most recently, I've
used sweet orange (which smells just like "Terry's" Chocolate
Oranges - the one's you have to hit to open...yummmmmmy!) when it's
in henna, lavender, and lemon. I used to use eucalyptus and
occasionaly clove, but find that they're too strong and clove has the
potential to cause rashes on certain people. You'll probably need to
experiment yourself. I find about 4 drops is good for lavender and
6 - 8 drops is good for the orange or citrus. Jen

: I am doing alot of mixing lately. I am wondering how many drops of
: essential oil do you out in a 2 TBSP paste?
: Thanks
