For a darker henna stain you can do the following things:
- After your henna has dried, apply a solution of sugar and lemon paste. This will help darken the stain by increasing its acidity. Mix together equal parts water and sugar and mix with or without heat. If using heat, let it cool before applying. Next, mix an equal amount of lemon juice and apply using cotton balls. MAKE SURE YOUR STAIN HAS FULLY DRIED BEFORE APPLICATION.
- You can just leave it on for longer such as overnight. This allows it to further darken by seeping into your skin.
- You can try applying mustard oil.
It is believed that mustard oil is hot in nature and produces heat in your body.
