I think I can answer that question also (I also have dark skin). I
say all the ingredients, and techniques that have been discussed here
apply the same (I ussually henna dark skin people also). I have found
that one of my friends does not take henna well at all, using the
same batch, same application, same time left on the skin as me, and
her stain in much lighter, even on the palms of the hands. So my
theory is that as with everybody, henna takes different on different
people, light skin, dark skin, whatever. Everybody's different.

: I henna'd my friend a couple of nights ago, she has really dark
skin
: (bit of a sunbed worshiper. I henna'd her upper arm and shoulder.
Now
: i know that henna does not darken to well in these areas but i
: henna'd her hands also a few weeks ago with henna that goes nice
and
: dark on me but i could hardly see it on her.
:
: Anyone got any good tips for hennaing heavily tanned or naturally
: dark skin so you get a result? I would really appreciate it.
