Nah, probably not enough time, because the length DOES effect the
outcome. The longer it's on there, the more lawsone can get into the
hair, so the richer the colour can be. I'm hoping/guessing that the
salon uses henna strictly for conditioning purpouses, and not
colour? Because if they're putting it on those women for colour and
only leaving it an hour, they're probably getting...erm...crap
results.
