When I henna, I keep it on all night. I finally hennaed last night
in fact! I've been meaning to for a month now, but things kept
happening. grr. Anyhow, once the henna is mushed in good and proper,
I sort of just mush and mold it into a roundish shape over my head
(my hair is just beyond shoulder length). Once I do that I then wrap
it in plastic (I really like that stuff that press and seal stuff,
it controls better than regular plastic wrap). Now I don't have a
beard of course, so I can't tip you on that =). But I then grab some
pre-designated thin material (I use an old sarong that is sort of
hennae coloured anyway and made of rayon) and turban it over my
plastic mushmold head. I also place a towel over my pillows, but my
pillows are pre-designated at henna "ok". They are silk and take the
colour beautifully anyway. In the morning, I just lift it all off
and hop in the shower to begin the removal process. I got up this
morning around 9, got hair henna free and was at work in just under
an hour!

In the interest of full disclosure, yes, my forehead has some orange
spots. I'm afraid to look behind my ears. And we salsaed and
chachaed tonight, so while sweating I started to smell of intense
summer hay. haha!
