I agree with the comments below. I always check for dye release
because you never know how long it will take for the dye release to
occur. For me I will often wait 24 hours for dye release. Rarely
has it taken less then 12 hours.

I prefer the plastic bag method. Just add all of your ingredients
into a plastic (Ziploc) bag and knead it together to make henna
paste. Then place a sheet of white facial tissue into an airtight
container. Place the bag of henna paste on top of the tissue and
close the container. Then every few hours lift up the bag and check
the sheet of tissue. If it is stained orange then it is starting to
release the dye.
