Making henna darker?

Question

i got some henna done yesterday, i dont think its exactly henna but it was this temporary tattoo booth that could do black or brown. anyways, i got something done in brown, they told me not to move my arm where it was done or touch it for 30 mins. and not to use soap on it yet. by the end of the day it was dry and most of the parts on top of my skin was gone. the girl told me it'd be orange today and would get darker and that it'd last for 1-3 weeks. today its very light, kinda brown/orangey but i was just wondering if there's anything i can do to make it darker? some parts are veryyyy light. anything i could wash it with? or is the only solution re-doing it? thanks alot

Hey you can do few things i.e. for a while don't wash ur hands, and second if its not a tattoo then you can actually put the henna over it. Hey and make sure its the right Henna your using.

Hey dont wash it a lot of times with water or soap, it will go lighter.

If you put it on the next time when it starts drying, apply some sugar water on it, it does go darker. Just apply a little bit not much each time it dries. ok

Hope my answer helped.

She may have not used the right Henna.  I have tried the Bollywood Henna by Ash Kumar and as long as you follow the instructions it comes out really dark.

The colour will get darker only if the henna was right.  Some people say the warmer your hands the darker the colour will become.
