I typically leave mine on overnight (at least) - the longer you leave
it on, the better the stain will be. Also, as Erfan pointed out, it
depends greatly on what part of your body you henna, what EOs you add
to the mixture and heat applied to the design. I recently had good
luck with some 4 day old Jamila henna paste that I added some
frankincense EO to (I had not mixed any paste to use and wanted to
put something on my wrist). I was pleasantly surprised the next
morning - very dark brown stain on my wrist, which rarely takes more
than a medium orange stain. BTW - I wrapped the design then wrapped
an ace bandage around it for the night.
