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.
A comparison of henna mixed with boiling water and henna mixed with lemon juice
Don’t mix your henna with boiling water.
The stain from henna mixed with boiling water will fade to a
lame brassy orange.
The stain from henna mixed with lemon juice will gradually darken into a rich, natural
deep red color
