What are the Differences Between Henna Applicator Bottles?
Henna applicator bottles make applying henna easy, especially for henna beginners. We offer 2 different styles of henna applicator bottles, Jac tips with soft squeeze bottles and ORa Moroccan tips with extra soft anti-fatigue bottles.

Standard Soft Squeeze Bottles vs. Beachcombers Anti-Fatigue Bottles
Standard soft squeeze henna bottles are what you find all over the web and are compatible with both Jac tips and ORa tips. They do a nice job and are easy to handle, but they can be very hard on your hands, causing cramping. This means you have to keep them as full as possible to keep your hands from cramping, and you will have more henna waste because you can't get to the bottom of the bottle.

Standard squeeze bottles are offered in 1/2 ounce and 1 ounce sizes. The 1/2 ounce size is slightly softer than the 1 ounce size and is easier on the hands. These are the only bottles that work with Jac tips. They also work with ORa tips, but why use these when the anti-fatigue bottles work with the ORa tips?

Extra soft anti-fatigue bottles are exclusively made for Beachcombers and are a positive luxury! We worked for over a year to get these special bottles made for us, that are positively the softest henna bottles on the market. What does this mean for you? It means less hand-cramping and less waste! You can henna for MUCH longer before having to stop to refill the henna bottle. This means you will henna faster!

Anti-fatigue bottles are offered in 1/2 ounce and 1 ounce sizes. The 1 ounce is actually softer than the half ounce which is great news for professional henna artists and for anyone that uses a great deal of henna. Anti-fatigue bottles are compatible with our stainless steel ORa Moroccan tips. Anti-fatigue bottles are NOT compatible with Jac tips.


ORa Moroccan Tip Bottles (with anti-fatigue extra soft squeeze bottles)
Our top-of-the-line ORa Moroccan stainless steel tips are compatible with the extra soft anti-fatigue henna bottles. This style tip, made of polished medical grade stainless steel, is a welcome improvement from Jaq tips. ORa tips are exclusive to us at Beachcombers. Five sizes of metal tips are available (20, 19, 18, 16, 14 gauge) from the finest possible line to nice heavy lines that are great for filling tribal henna designs.

In addition to being easy to control, ORa Moroccan applicators are polished on the inside of the blunt syringe tip. This makes the henna slide through the tips smoothly, which means fewer clogs! ORa Moroccan henna tips attach to bottles using syringe couplers which screw on to the mouth of the applicator bottles. These are much easier (and less messy) to remove to refill your henna bottle than the jaq bottle nips. These are what I personally recommend.

Extra soft anti-fatigue bottles are only compatible with Beachcombers ORa tips.


Jac Tip Bottles (Jaq, Jacquard Bottles)
This style henna tip is a great mid-range henna applicator tip. Jaq bottles have been used for henna for years and offer 3 different size tips in a cone shape (.05, .07, .09). These applicators are easy to control and attach to a plastic nip that goes in the mouth of the bottle.

Extra soft anti-fatigue bottles are NOT compatible with Jac tips.

We still offer Jac tips because there are people that learned on them and do not want to use anything else. If you are new to henna, go with the ORa tips and anti-fatigue bottles. They are a better product at a lower price.
