How in the World do you keep this stuff on your hair and not all my neckerplexed...This is my second time trying and the first was lawd... HELL..but i love the color i got. Now i still gets some runny on my neck. How do you stop this??? I put a extra plastic cap to help it but nope its still kinda runny..well a little now. The first time i put too much(i was being sloppy shame on me)but this time i took my time and its runs. Is this just what you have to go thur or i can prevent this? I used a small cup size....

TIA

Make a thicker mixture. I'm always very careful to keep my henna mixture thicker because it is easier for me to apply and does not drip.

Hi YoungWavey,
Your mixture should be thick, like mud. You should pack the henna on your hair like you are making a mud pie.

I agree with making it thicker. Also, do you wear a cape or towel around your neck? I actually recycle the bags I get from the dry cleaners (there's already a hole for your head the top) and use those as a cape when I'm henna-ing. I punch two holes at the side of the bag to fit my arms through and wear it over my head.

Ok- take a big 'ole spoon like the kind we mixed koolaid with in the pitcher as kids and put two heaping spoonfuls of yogurt in your henna mix and then you will only need a little water instead of alot. Hope this helps.

Initially, I had that problem until I started making my henna mix thicker.

:nod: Yeah, the henna mix needs to be SERIOUSLY thick, and I like to add a lil conditioner to it to help the thickness go into my hair easier.....

Thanks so much ladies...I will indeed keep this inmind...Make it thicker and that plastic bag trick...
