: : : Or is the microwave rice bag ok? (Silly question?) : Certainly. If it's not uncomfoatable on your skin, it's not all that : hot. : : Is it ok to wrap it with cotton and saran wrap and an ace bandage? : Yes, though if you're someplace where the ambient temperature is 90F : or up, don't bother. The heavy wraps are for cold places where you : have to WORK at heating up your skin enough to get the henna to do its : job. Wraps become crucial at 70F and below. : : This is my first attempt at using new skin and I have so many : questions. I bought the spray stuff. Cloves are listed under : ingredients. Thats good. Not thrilled over the acetone. : You'll lose the acetone if you use the paint on. Also the acetone : seems to only be the solvent that makes it sprayable, and if you do it : outdoors, that nearly eliminates the problem. : : Some of of the pattern is a little smudged from the spray. : Spray only after its totally dry, and spray very sparingly! : : Should I wait until the paste has set to spray it? : Yes, your paste must be ABSOLUTELY dry before you spray! : If I do wait the fine lines will dry and crack. : Spray or brush on teeny bits of NS if you see cracking starting ... : you can still henna into areas that have been lightly NS'ed. If I'm : doing a massivly complex henna, I'll NS carefully as bits dry and I'm : still working on new areas. : : : Btw after I sprayed it on and went to the computer I noticed the : smell from my hand is overwelming! I thought it wouldn't be so strong : after it dryed. : Use spray NS outside, and use it sparingly! You don't need much! Just : a thin spritz like hairspray. Two thin spritzes if necessary, but most : people vastly overdose the NS. It's not supposed to look like a : lemon/sugar coating. : : Natalie
