I have never gotten good results from adding hot water, waiting for 1
hour, and then letting it sit in your hair for 1 hour. Maybe because
I am trying to cover gray hairs and it is difficult even with
excellent quality henna. I see those instructions as worthless and
anyone who tries it that way will most likely meet with failure.
Then those people will turn to chemical hair dyes because they tried
that box of henna and followed the instructions written and it didn’t
do anything. I know of one person who did just that. You are
probably better off adding something acidic and letting it sit for
several hours even if the box tells you otherwise.

My mother sleeps with the henna in her hair. Just make sure to put a
cotton coil around the hairline, cover with a disposable plastic
shower cap, and then put a cloth-sleeping cap over it. Also place an
old towel over your pillow.
