thanks, Jenny, i had been thinking about using the gelling recipe for
"slower" hennas, but i have to admit, i'm too impatient to wait for
dye-release by letting it sit somewhere. I prefer putting it on my
head for 4-5 hrs and letting the body heat release it there (does that
make sense?) also, our climate here is very cold, it would take at
least 24hrs to wait, and my boyfriend would hate the smell of it.

When i tried the gelled henna, i let it sit for 1hr on the heater,
noticed a bit of dye release starting, mixed in the pectin and put it
on. The colour turned out alright. But i was wondering if i would have
noticed any difference, if i had put in the pectin directly and the
stuff on my head and just waited longer...
