I second the advise on the surgery-I don't know if I would have ever
been able to do henna if I hadn't had it done (not mention ever get
any sleep!).

Welcome to the Henna Page and to henna. I hope you will love it as
much as we do. Maureen is a great lady!

I started with bottles, and I still find I have more control with
them for quick hennas. But I have started making my own cones and love
them. I think if you have carpul tunnel a cone or bag offers a variety
options for use, several of which would be less damaging than using a
bottle. any thing that keeps you from bending the wrist too sharply or
sqeezing your forefinger and thumb together too tightly would be the
best choice (gee, don't I sound like your doctor?)

Whatever method you choose, keep in touch with us, we will be looking
forward to seeing you work!

good luck!!
