Try mixing them with boiling water to a medium paste and putting them
in your(or someone else's)hair. It will condition the hair and give
copper to red highlights. try to avoid white, gray or light blond hair
as it may get a bit orange.
You can also try mixing for mehndi and applying it with a brush or
stick-don't go for the fine lines. I've never tried this so I'm not
sure if it you will get a good stain of not, but it never hurts to
try!

so, after you sifted it, how do it work and how is the color?

take care

: how, yep, a large bio-yoghurt container, close weave cloth and
coins,
: a few minutes later and voila loads of fine powder. Thanks to you
and
: all for advice. The question now is what to do with all the coarse
: bits, I notice they soak up lemon juice like crasy, but how do you
: get a fine line from what looks like grass cuttings...lol. Anyone
any
