I’ve heard that exposing henna to heat helps as well…putting hands above stove or using a hair dryer, etc

And also that you should keep it on as long as possible…even if it has dried up. And that when you remove your mehndi…just rub it off…but don’t wash with water. Apply vapor rub or oil instead.

I dont like how mehndi turns out on the back of my hand when the design goes down my arm. Its a gradient, from nice dark henna to pale. I was told its the heat of blood that brings out the colour and since it is the least in arms, colour is light there. And that if i dry it using blow drier, colour will turn out even:hmmm:
