Mix it with warm water. Also add egg and lemon to it and stir the mixture well.

For chestnut color, a small pinch of coffee can also be added to the mixture. Add red wine for burgundy color.

Leave the mixture for 6-8 hours.

Now, put the gloves in your hand before applying it. Else, its color would last on your hands for a few days.

Try not to wear light colored clothes while applying henna as it may spoil your clothes.
