How to make homemade eyebrow henna?

• 1 tablespoon of organic henna powder.
• 4 drops of essential oil of your choice (preferably unscented if you have sensitive skin) you can use tea tree, lavender , eucalyptus or cajeput.
• Two tablespoons of indigo powder in a SEPARATE container
• Distilled water (to set).

Preparation method:

1. Prepare the area, clean the eyebrow and its surroundings. Let dry.
   gholdic Tip: we recommend that you apply a little cream (preferably Vaseline) around your eyebrow to avoid staining areas outside the eyebrow and to remove quickly and easily from the area.
2. Make a mixture with henna powder, drops of essential oil of your choice and distilled water. When you have a pasty consistency (mashed potato type), cover the container with plastic film and let it rest for 6 hours.
3. After the 6 hours have passed, prepare the indigo powder separately. To do this, put the two tablespoons of indigo in a SEPARATE container, to which you will add distilled water LITTLE BY LITTLE until you achieve a smooth consistency, not pasty, but not liquid either. Let this mixture rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. When you already have the indigo mixture, add it to your henna mixture, the color of the indigo powder will release its color immediately and will merge with the henna.
   gholdic Tip: We recommend doing a color test, you can apply a little of the color on your wrist to see what color it gives you, as this is how it will look on your eyebrows. This test will also help you know if your skin has any irritation.
