i use a towel turban primarily for drip control and weight balance,
but the towel also holds in more head heat than the plastic alone....
and if a real heat boost is desired, use a towel fresh out of the
dryer... but, of course, don't use your special fancy guest towels...
unless you like splotches.

: 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.
