Cover your henna with plastic wrap

Let your henna paste rest overnight at over night at room temperature, 70 F or 21 C. As your henna rests, it

will release dye. The dye must be released from the plant leaf so it can migrate into your hair. This slow,

acidic release will get you the best results. If you’re in a hurry, put it in a warm place, but NOT a hot

place! Your henna will be ready in two hours at 95F or 35C.

When you are ready to use your henna paste, stir in a little more lemon juice or a fragrant tea to make the

paste about at thick as yoghurt.
