Whaaa? Well know by whom?
Palms and feet fade slowest by far! Henna stains best on keratinized
skin, and palms and feet are the most keratized, from abrasion, on the
whole body. I"ve had soles last 6 weeks, and palms last 5 on some
clients, where central body lasts 3- 5 days! The depth of
epidermal cellular layer on palms and soles can be over 40 cells deep,
up to 80 cells deep when calloused, whereas average skin is no more
than 24, and thin skin can be 5 cells.
Now ... if you're under stress from work, disease or menstruation...
you body exfoliates suddenly. That is often the cause of sudden
demise. Other factors can be change in water supply, such as the
waterworks dumping extra chlorine into a summertime water supply when
the flora gets busier than usual.

I regularly do henna wrapped front to back of feet and hands so I'm
very familiar with the progression of demise, and the more keratinized
skin ALWAYS holds stain the longest! I've got one spot on my palm
remaining now from the Sirius Mix test pix (rather greenish it is, too
...) and all the rest is long gone. Back of hand demises first,
fingers second, palm side of fingers third (starting from fingertips
down) then palm last.
