Use henna powder - About 2 cups (You should be able to get it in an Indian store)
1cup of strong tea (strained)
2 drops of eucalyptus oil
Mix it all together (add tea 1/2 cup at a time) until the mixture resembles a smooth paste
Let it rest for atleast an hour or so covered.

Make cones with cellophane paper, fill the mehendi in it with a spoon and go to work on your hands.

If you are intimidated to make it yourself you can get a readymade cone first and practice with it before trying the home made method.

All the best

It depends on the nature of your hair and purpose.What is the nature of your hair?Is it dry, oily or normal?And why do you want to use mehendi, as a conditioner or to colour your hair?
