Oh boy. I think you managed to do virtually everything wrong at once.
(Well ..... we all did the first time we tried....)
Go to the link below.... there's help there for basic technique ...
and email me if you want the rant for darker, darker,
darkest-nearly-black henna. And.... do go through the FAQ and the
archives on this site. All your answers are here .... just do a little
digging!
1) your henna has to be FRESH!
2) your henna paste must be acidic
3) the henna paste must stay on as long as reasonably possible
4) heat is VERY, VERY helpful
5) an overnight wrap is VERY VERY helpful
6) henna stains THICK skin better than thin skin
