My paste is a blend of natural henna powder, essential oils, and a little sugar, which I let rest for at least six hours. This process releases the dye naturally, giving you that beautiful cherry-red stain that lasts longer than standard market cones. ### From Powder to Perfect Stain Many of my clients ask, 'Priya, how do you get such a dark stain?' It starts long before I ever touch the cone. I source high-quality henna powder and mix it with a specific ratio of essential oils like lavender, cajeput, and clove. I treat my henna like a recipe. I mix 100g of powder with 35g of sugar and about 35-40ml of oil. Letting this rest overnight or for at least six hours is the step that makes all the difference. It is the only way to ensure the colour is deep and safe, especially for brides who need their mehndi to look perfect on the wedding day. ### The Art of Practice Before I ever sit down with a client, I spend hours on practice sheets. Whether I am perfecting a new 'doli' motif or sketching out a complex 'jaali' pattern, I need to make sure the flow is right. I often use acrylic practice hands and paper to refine my proportions. If you see me sketching a peacock or a portrait, I am usually working on the symmetry so that when I work on your hands, the design is balanced and clean. ### Learn With Me Since I believe art grows when you share it, I conduct one-day workshops in Delhi NCR.
