5. How long does the color last?

The color usually lasts for a week. The color will peak on the day after application, followed by slow fading over a week

6. What can I do to improve the longevity of the color?

Never peel the applied henna off too quickly. Leave the henna on the skin for at least half an hour, it will crumble by itself. Also, make sure it doesn’t come into contact with water for at least 4 hours. For added intensity, some leave it for up to 12 hours. It will turn an orange colour at first which will then deepen over a day because of the skin’s temperature. For a deeper and longer lasting color, you may also apply a solution of lemon juice and sugar on the applied henna once it has dried and almost begins to crumble

7. Does the color depth vary from person to person?

Absolutely. For organic henna, the color is dependent on the person’s body heat and skin temperature. Also to ensure deeper color, care must be taken not to peel off the applied henna prematurely, and water exposure is to be avoided for at least for 4 hours. You may also apply a solution of lemon juice and sugar on the applied henna once it has dried and almost begins to crumble
