This step is not required, but it helps to intensify the henna stain. If you have time to cure your henna, make a mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. It should be sticky, but not paste-like. Use a cotton-tipped swab to apply one drop at a time over your entire design. Once it is completely coated in your lemon/sugar mixture, use the hair dryer again for about 15 minutes and allow to air dry for at least 30 minutes â€" an hour is even better.
The acid from the lemon juice helps to further activate the paste to create a rich stain. The sugar helps the lemon juice to stick to the design without melting the paste and running down your skin.
