On its original form, henna is a powder. Some people enjoy doing their own mixes, that is, turning their henna powder into the henna paste. However, this can be a time consuming process. Most people now buy the already prepared cones. The quality of the already prepared henna and home-made henna is the same in most cases.

Cones are usually easier to manage. The smaller the cone is, the easier it is to manage. In Ottawa, most cones range between $2 - $4. Henna cones can be found at any Middle Eastern or South Asian store. Usually, the henna from these cones last about 5 days on one's body.

Better quality henna is usually more expensive. For important occassions such as weddings it is important to use the best possible quality henna. Good henna can stay on one's body for a very long time!
