More evidence about heat

Had the chance to see a client after the henna had been off for a
week-end and was pleasantly amazed. SHe had wanted a large
complicated design extending from the back of her hand up to her
elbow. Typically I don't get good takes on this area, and since this
client was older and had dryish skin, I gave her the full scoop about
how it might not turn out at all...this was Friday afternoon...

Come Monday morning, she very proudly showed me her design -- deep
chocolate brown....all the way up, except for the last inch and a half
which was a respectable lighter brown. She said she had followed my
instructions to stay warm -- and had worn her carpal tunnel brace
(which covered everything except the last inch and a half) and then
wore a long flannel shirt and slept under an electric blanket.

My recipe hasn't altered -- just very fresh, finely sifted henna,
lemon juice, strong clove tea, honey, yogurt, and a dash of olive oil.
