The longer you leave it on, the deeper the colour tends to get, so
one hour wouldn't give you as dark a shade as, say 4 hours, which is
the minimum I leave mine on. I aim for 4-6 hours, for the colour and
conditioning to have more time to sink in.

: This site is amazing. After reading through old posts, many of my

: one hour enough time to leave henna on my hair?

: Let me explain. I found a salon that specializes in natural
: products who rinses the henna out for me (I mix and apply it at
home-
: -stays on my dark brown locks overnight). They informed me that
: when they apply the henna in the shop they leave it on for about
an
: hour (or less). I am not sure this would be enough time to get
the
: results I want/am accostomed to (shiny, strong, slightly reddish,
: looser curled hair). What do you all think? Does the time you
: leave the henna on your hair only affect the color outcome?
