To make dark henna paste for hands, combine henna powder, lemon juice, sugar, and essential oils, then allow it to sit for several hours to release the dye. Applying a lemon and sugar mixture to the dried henna can also help intensify the color. 

Here's a more detailed guide:

Ingredients:

High-quality henna powder: Use a good quality, pure henna powder, preferably triple-sifted. 

Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice helps release the dye molecules for a darker stain. 

Sugar: Granulated white sugar helps the henna paste stick to the skin and can enhance the stain. 

Essential oils: Lavender or tea tree oil can be added for their fragrance and potential benefits, such as promoting a darker stain. 

Water: Use water to adjust the consistency of the paste.
