Kaveri Henna Powder, 250 g – for Mehndi & Body Art

Kaveri Henna Powder 250 g – premium-sifted powder from the henna capital Sojat

Origin & quality

Sojat, Rajasthan, holds the protected geographical indication (GI) “Sojat Mehndi”. The region’s arid climate and lime-rich soil maximise the pigment lawsone, giving Kaveri its deep terracotta-to-dark-brown tone.

Key benefits

• 100 % natural – nothing but finely milled Lawsonia inermis leaves.
• Ultra-fine triple sift – silky paste glides easily through cones or applicator bottles.
• High lawsone content – intense colour after oxidation with excellent staying power.

Applications

1. Mehndi & body art

Choose one of two mixing methods.

A) Quick recipe (water only)

1. Ingredients: 20 g henna powder + 60 ml warm water (≈ 1 : 3).
2. Stir to thick-yoghurt consistency, cover with cling film and let stand for 30–40 min to activate the dye.
3. Fill a cone, apply your design and leave on the skin for 2–3 h (overnight for maximum depth).
4. Scrape off the dry paste; avoid water for another 6–8 h.

B) Professional recipe (lemon juice + sugar + essential oil)

1. Ingredients for one cone (~ 25 g paste):
   25 g henna powder;
   25–30 ml fresh lemon juice (add gradually);
   1–2 tsp sugar;
   10–15 drops eucalyptus, tea-tree or cajeput essential oil.
2. Blend henna with lemon juice to a puree-like paste, cover and leave at room temperature for a full 8–12 h dye-release.
3. Add sugar and essential oil, mix well. Adjust thickness with a few drops of juice if needed.
4. Let the paste mature for another 1–2 h, strain through a stocking and fill cones.
5. Apply, then keep on the skin for 6–8 h (you may wrap with bandage or film). Colour darkens to rich brown within 24–48 h.

2. Natural hair colouring & care

1. Apply the paste to clean, damp hair from roots to tips.
2. Cover with a shower cap and towel to keep warm.
3. Leave on for 1–4 h depending on the desired copper-to-chestnut shade.
