Interestingly enough, when I get called into work, (industrial) I
have to wear work gloves & if I've done henna the night before, I'll
keep it toasty overnight by having it wrapped in cotton, toilet paper
or paper towel & a sock over it, then I'll pick it off before I go to
work and having it in work gloves all day (physical job, I sweat all
day) really makes it dark. So yes, heat, even after it's been picked
off seems to make a big difference. Some of you have seen my photo
site with the dark henna that I get, the darkest is after I've had to
work a couple of days. (The faboulous henna that I buy from Kenzi
helps too!!!)Jen
