How to use a Moroccan Syringe Henna Applicator

[yellflowerart]

i love using my syringes, but i am having a few problems with the henna continuing to be pushed out of the tip when my fingers are nowhere near the plunger, it makes it rather difficult to drape or really just start a new line when my paste is oozing out in front of me (sometimes quickly sometimes slowly)... have you ever had such problems? i thought you might have some wisdom on preventing this

thank you

@yellflowerart Controlling lines with a syringe is near impossible. In Morocco the ladies are so fast they don't stop, the line just flows and continues to flow as they go. If you're wanting more control I would recommend thickening your henna paste.

@FreeHandMehndi that might be something to try, i've still been working with my syringes, realizing that i HAVE to go fast, but it's been a fun challenge to get creative quickly :) thank you for your advice

[lovegunz1]

how long duse it stay on your skin can you wash it of?

[FreeHandMehndi]

@lovegunz1 Henna cannot be washed off. It stains the skin anywhere from 1-4 weeks.

@assiaoumaima hi darling if you wanna have the same syringe for tatoo you can buy from foor store as tesco the kit for printer colour ink it's the same feture i baught one just few days ago the i realized this one i must use it for tatoo i like that art it's nice

[FreeHandMehndi]

@assiaoumaima What part of Morocco are you from? Yes, I have both glass and plastic syringe on my website that you can buy.

[FreeHandMehndi]

@TheNoreligion True, that is how they do it in Morocco, just break the tip off. However mine are not cut needles, the tips are premade to be blunt tip. The cut tip is dangerous because it has sharp edges.

[sabenaali]

salams, could you show us how to do use the squeezy bottles, are they useful for intricate indian/pakistan designs?? I purchased some recently and have a henna for a bride to do, do you recommend the bottle applicators?

[FreeHandMehndi]

@sabenaali Yes, I can do a video on that. I recommend cone. I love cones more than anything. But bottles are nice too.

[Psicosis24]

I used it some time before, and to be sincerely, I prefer the cone... :P Its easier to draw with. Thank U for showing this instrument too :)

[FreeHandMehndi]

@Psicosis24 I prefer the cone too, but for Moroccan designs it works really well for draping really thin strait lines.

[lampfriggenshade]

ooops, i meant to give 5 stars...lol I got mesmerized by the ease of using the syringe..haha think i'll definitely have to get one of those. I'll be back to rate 5 :-)

[FreeHandMehndi]

@lampfriggenshade It's ok, I have done that a few times myself.

I have a little plastic cyringe that my vet gave me filled with medicine for my cat 5 years ago, it's only a couple inches long, could that work?

[FreeHandMehndi]

@StrainSop Possibly. Does it have a metal tip?

[StrainSop]

no metal tip, just a little stub of a tip that I had to put into Mla's mouth to administer the medicine......she did

[StrainSop]

like that at all!! (sorry, dang enter key sent the comment before I finished)

[FreeHandMehndi]

@StrainSop They use those things on kids too, they don't like it either.

[StrainSop]

you could write with that thing!!!  how about doing a tad bit of calligraphy with it? neat stuff!! :-)

[sidsthirdeye]

it is hard to be steady with the syringe! i found one behind our dryer, a really big one for dogs or something... no needle... so i tried one of the ap. tips i had and it fit, so i tried it and it is smoothe, but will take lots of practice (and no coffee!)!

peace!

[FreeHandMehndi]

@sidsthirdeye What a strange place to find a syringe lol. I hold mine at an angle, and let the tip touch the skin. It does take practice.

[sidsthirdeye]

thats what i thought too! the tip is stuck on probablly forever! will order more from you, also a couple of syringes... thanks!!!
