: : I got bored a couple weeks ago and put some henna on the back of
my

: : After a couple days, it was a bit faded (back of my hand always
: fades
: : quickly) and I really wanted to keep it longer, and I had a henna
: gig
: : that weekend that i wanted a fresh look for. I used the same
: bottle

: : three days. I NuSkinned it and left it on overnight. In the
: : morning, when I removed the henna, the design was much lighter
than
: : it had been previously. I thought it may have been the new
orange
: : color and waited, but instead of darkening, it got lighter over
the
: : next day to the point where it looked about three weeks old
instead
: : of not quite one. It faded normally after that, but I figure
that
: : going over the design took out about a week and a half of its

: : Has anyone else experienced this?

: I am always running late and I like to have a good fresh henna for
: the weekend's show. If I end up with a favorite, I will keep it
for
: a long time, and go over it on Thursday nights so that it looks its
: best on Saturday and Sunday. Having 4 kids I am always washing my
: hands....henna never lasts on the top of my hand. If I go over all
: of the brown speckles that are left (I always use new paste) and do
: an overnight wrap, all the speckles are gone in the morning and I
: have a fresh design every time. I guess I never really wondered
: about it....just hennaed on. Does anyone know why?
