Tell me, have you tried wrapping the henna yet? You really won't be
able to get the red color unless you do that. If you are using
absolute GONZO FRESH henna, it is possible without wrapping, but when
i say GONZO FRESH, i mean like less than a week since it was
harvested. Leaving it on for 20 hours will not change the color at
all unless you have it wrapped! It **neeeds** to be kept warm and
moist, and a wrap is the best way to do that. Sun and sealer will not
do the job alone in most cases. do your MATH- Moisture, Acid, Heat,
and Time- and you should be fine.
