As a professional henna artist, I will tell you that henna doesn't stain quickly. You need to leave it on for a few hours, and it will take up to 2 days to oxidize to its maximum stain. If what you're using offers a 10-15 min wait time and instant stain, you're not using natural henna, you're using chemicals. Please be careful with that - especially that close to your eyes!
They look great, but if you want them darker, go way longer than 25 minutes. On my hair I wear the henna for 1.5 to 2 hours while heating it under a dryer hood, or I wear it overnight and rinse in the morning. Think about the nice deep warm brown of henna tattoos - typically the henna is worn for 6, 12, or even 24 hours. Also remember that the pigment will darken over the first couple of days before slowly fading. And to get it off your face easier, splash plenty of water on your face, rub it around, and rinse instead of rubbing intensely with a cotton pad. Once it's "cured" on my hair, I get in the shower and use just the water to rinse out 90-95% of the henna (there's a lot, clinging to every stand), and then use conditioner and rose again to get out the rest (so much kinder to my hair). Don't cleanse for 2+days after removal and the color will be more intense and last longer. Good luck!
Henna gets darker over the mext few days. I kinda love when people dont know that and try to make ot really dark right away. It's entertaining watching them freak out as it continues to darken. 😂

Black soap wash off it will stay longer and darker then razor blade shape it up clean hair under eyebrows will make it sharper

Yeah your right. I wish it was darker. How long did it last for
About 5 days or so if I didn’t accidentally exfoliate a few times lol
What did you use to mark the brows before you applied the henna?
I used a white eyebrow pencil
The shape didn't come out well
The henna has to stay on longer than 15 mins
Fire
Thanks!
