Put about a half-pound of rice in asock, tie it off, zap it for a minute.....instant heat! I got the best take ever on my palm from keeping it hot with a rice bag inside an oven-mitt for a few hours. : : It was the heat aspect i was thinking of more than anything. : Warming : : the said body part first.. would it help? : : Heat definitely helps, though this is as much after the henna has : been applied as before. : : The classic story is of someone at Sirius Rising last year who had a : CCJ pattern on each shoulder. She went off and danced round the : bonfire with the henna still on, always going round the same way. : Next morning, the colour on one arm was noticably darker than on the : other. : : Failing access to a bonfire to dance round, holding the relevant body : part in steam will help. Care is needed here, obviously, as steam : straight from a kettle can easily scald. However, by keeping a few : feet from the spout it is possible to get heating without being : burned. Saunas, hair driers and gas fires can also be used to good : effect, but again, watch out for getting too hot, and err on the side : of caution. : : Even after the henna has been removed, heat will help the darkening : process over the first day or two.
