Rice bags. They work great! Put about a half-pound of rice in a
sock, 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.
