People often ask me why henna stains a certain color on their skin when they’ve seen it a different color on others. To answer this question we tend to focus on the henna artist’s product. Are they using high quality henna powder, did they prepare it correctly, did they give you the proper aftercare information and did you follow it? However, there are other important factors that determine the color henna stains for you as well.
These factors can include lifestyle, age, circulation, eating habits, activity level, medications, metabolism and more. Take a look at this chart to see where you might fall on the stain scale. I found it really interesting.
The HennaPage.com has put together this very helpful diagram with explanations.
