Yes, you need to wait for dye release. Yes, longer couldn't hurt
(though I usually only can stand 2-3 hours myself). Yes,
reapplication should help. But, in the end, you're working with
brown hair and auburn hair. The hair itself might take evenly all
the way through, but because henna is translucent there will probably
always be a degree of discrepancy between the dyed and not.
