I wrap a towel around my plastic-covered henna mud to keep it warm
for dye release, and also to keep any little bit from seeping out
from under the plastic (particularly at the back of my neck). If I'm
moving about, I find a smush of henna along the bottom edge of the
towel that's on my neck when I take it off, so I know the plastic
shifts around. I'd rather it be on an old towel than on the neck of
my shirt...

: While I have my henna plopped on my head, I have been using a
: disposable plastic shower cap to keep the henna sealed inside.
After
: an hour or so, I can tell my body heat is building inside the
: plastic. I would guess that would help with dye release, too.
What
: is the purpose of wrapping the hair in a towel as well? Is it
that
: little extra boost of heat to help the henna color develop?
Please
: advise. I have not been using a towel, but will really consider
it
: if it helps! Thanks.
