I have no idea which brand my Mom uses, but she had a friend buy it in Maroc, it was very strong compared to those we usualy buy in shops here. She mixes it with lemon juice and something else I forgot.
It helps if you keep it in your hear all night long. My Mom just puts it in her hair with her hands. She takes one pluck at a time and makes sure that especially her scal is well covered. She sits down and takes the time for it. When it's done. She takes a little scarve of cotton and wears it really tight so nothing can leak out. If you sleep with that one night it's better so the mehndi can really 'work in'. Then the next day, she slowly removes the scarve, and combes the mehndi out, don't wash it yet. Just 'comb it out', it's dried by now and the dried crums will fall on a cloth you can put on the table. Then when it's removed, it's better if you wait one more day before washing your hear, because the longer the mehndi stays in your hair, on your scalp, the better it is. You can wash it next morning. Hope that helps a bit.
