Henna paste recipe:
- 100g natural henna powder (link in bio if you need some)

- 30-40g sugar (I go crazy w sugar in the batches for myself because I care more about the paste not cracking as much during time-consuming pieces than the stain intensity)
- Water

‼️ Fill test cone and check consistency before strai...
