Tips on staining mass. But there are basic parameters:
1. In a porcelain bowl pour henna (or basma, or a mixture of henna and Basma).

4. Plastic cover hair beret (in extreme cases - a plastic bag of appropriate size), top to warm towel or handkerchief. If stained only basmoj, then do not need to be covered.
5. Staining time depends on the starting hair color and the desired color within 15 minutes to 2 hours hours. The longer we hold, the more intense the final color. With the initial dark hair increasing. If applied to the hair only basma, the waiting period is quite nervous - Basma flowing! Please be patient. And napkins to wipe drips.
