: I am hennaing my hair as I write. what I'm wondering is: can you
: overdue it on the dye release time? In the past, I would only let
: the henna settle (usually in a coffee mixture) for about an hour
: before applying. This time, however, I left it in a covered bowl
: (coffee and lemon juice mixture) for about 60 hours (just because I
: have been busier than I'd thought I'd be 3 days ago). Does anyone
: know whether this amount of time to wait is too much?

Was it in a room temperature to cool place? If so, you should be
just fine. Some hennas even like the longer time to develop. If it
was warm, you might have gone past the prime stain, but you should
still get a decent turn out.
