I've seen some people not bother very much about the NS after
unwrapping....they just play with it during the day like peeling off a
sunburn, and after a while, it's gone. You sweat...you exude
oil....you flex, it comes off.
The most active part of the staining happens under the wrap when
you're sweating. So what you do after the wrap is off is your own
business. Really!
I mostly rinse mine off in the shower gently, then rub in oil a time
or 3 during the day to get the rest off. Or not. Sometimes I just
rinse until its gone. That doesn't work with every city water system,
though! I did one try with sponging on Camphor spirit onto the
still-pasted-down henna after unwrapping. The Camphor spirit did a
fair bit of the dislodging work, and the henna came up "hella" dark.
(darker than hershey bar, at mid-leg) .
I think getting NS off is fairly individual; depends on how much
having stuff stuck on your skin makes you nuts. Patience really
helps!
