Nick has it right .... see below.

First you get the henna to release henna dye (which is naturally
red-orange) then one way or another you change the hydrogen molecule
to darken the henna dye. Heat, binding with keratins, ammonium
hydroxide (includes sweat and urine) and calcim hydroxide(includes
lime-bearing dust and possibly ash) OR one of the small terpines that
has a spare H .... all these will do the job. Ravensara has
terpineol which does the trick.

Two part harmony: 1) get the hennotannic molecule available out of the
henna (dye release)so it can penetrate a epidermal cell ...then ...
2)once it's in the dead skin cell, bang on the hydrogen to darken it.

: "dye release" refers to the henna releasing it's red dye. So when
: Mark said "Yesterday found interesting results with this oil and the
: dye release" he meant that the oil had an interesting affect on the
: henna's natural dye release.
