How long it takes to apply henna?
It depends on the intricacy of design and expertise of the henna artist. For me, a simple palm size design takes 5 to 8 minutes. Henna design on hands of a bride may take anywhere from one hour to two hours. After henna is applied, the paste dries of in 5-10 minutes. We spray lemon and sugar juice to moist the paste again so that it gets good color to the skin.
