: : when you say to add the lemon juice until dye release does the
lemon

too warm to

it'll take longer.

so it is ok if the lemon juice is initially cold when you add it to
the henna then just sort of warm it up by sitting it in a bowl of hot
tap water, could you put a heat pad around the bowl of henna and
lemon juice instead? Just curious because that way you could let the
dye release as long as you wanted without having to reheat the water.
Thanks Valerie
