One question I forgot to answer is how fast the red fades/how I keep it lasting. Since my hair is red/hennaed underneath, the red seems to stick around a lot longer on me! It DOES fade quite quickly, but I have the help from henna to keep it somewhat vibrant.

I came here for the henna, but im leaving inspired about eating healthy and getting in shape again. Thank you!
Nat Ada Glad you left with something good
Thank you for returning to youtube! You're always inspiring to watch and this video got so personal. It's nice to see that side of you. You're always real and your message is especially rad here.
Thank you for taking your time to film this, it was really helpful! I love your hair aaand i adore you! 😊
I enjoyed your makeup tutorials before, but you give really good advice. You have great make up skills and you seem like an awesome person who has it together.
wow, the last part really truly inspired me to help out my body, and I honestly i never thought about treating my body like a friend and helping it out, thank you so much and great video, Love your hair!
Hi
Thats true I also wash my hair once a week and my hair is Thick with volume. it is because our scalp release protein which is good for hair and if we wash hair everyday it damage our hair and does not let our hair to take an advantage of the protien our skin release by itself without applying any additional home remedy!
Loved your honesty for hair tips and your table of contents. Very clever. Great video.
Great video, lots of great information for colouring over henna-hair! Great to know, as I have hennaed my hair and was really intrigued with the Ion colors I use in my son's hair 😁
Great job with the layout! You sure as hell earned this like.
Thank you for this video. Would love to see more video's about your skin/hair care, but also on your past with ED's.. I've struggled with different ED's also. You seem to have great perspective on treating ourselves kindly both emotionally and physically.
You are so orgenized on showing everything and the time of each question...thax for all.
you look so, so, soooo good in this makeup, especially with your haircolour and hairstyle, everything just looks so perfect, 10/10. you also seem like a really down-to-earth person!
great video.
Ah...you're just a softy at heart (with incredible hair :) I think your stories will be helpful to many. Thx for the share.
Treat your body like you would a friend!!! What great advice. Thanks for letting me know this went up, I'm stoked you talked us through all of this, I am seriously considering Henna (I am in a constant quest to keep my hair dark) I'll have to look into it more!
Also, have you considered doing the "no-poo" method of washing your hair? Its like, an apple cider vinegar rinse or something. Or cleansing conditioners, I like those too - I have pretty oily hair and the cleansing conditioners do a nice job of cleaning without stripping OR making too oily.
You da best boo!
you are amazing! love the video missy, I just subbed. keep up the good work!
I absolutely love this hair color! I used to have it close and it was burgundy. But...yours is red and burgundy. Love it!
WOAH!!! FREE ELEVATOR MUSIC!!!! 😄😄😄 So sweet! I love it!
I just stumbled upon this video from the sidebar. You have a great personality, and these are great hair tips! My hair is really long and curly too and has been through a lot of bleaching and dying in the past five years so I can relate to a lot of what you said.
Just subsrcribed! I clicked on this video because I love hair videos (even though I know it all already, they just comfort me in a weird way). You seem to have a beautiful soul, so I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Yay for self-love!
They comfort me too! Constantly watching and pinterest-ing hair
I just found you randomly when researching henna for hair. Stayed for the rest of the video, big thumbs up with nutrition tips and transparency with EDs, too (been there, done that, ruined my hair too). You're freaking awesome! Thanks for the video.
Aw, thank you so much!
Amazing hair and makeup :) Great video
You're awesome. And you gained a new subscriber. Thank you for the video and the message behind it. :)
I wish everyone used time stamps. Thanks!
shestoofaced Thank YOU! I don't know why it's not a more common practice!
Please make more video's! I absolutely loved this one :)
Oh my god you're a HunterxHunter fan! Nice phone case! ^.^ Also thank you for this very informative video! Much love!
I feel you so much on hair as a trump card for self-esteem!! I'm also a natural redhead (super bright, like ORANGE) but I've recently been dying it crazy because sure red hair is great but I've had it for 20 years now ad I can always go back.
BUT ANYWAY I would LOVE to see more food snaps, and maybe if it's something you think you could do, like recipe videos? Cuz right now I'm in college and good, solid, healthy food is a little hard to find.
And also thank you so os much for this video! Super helpful :)
I am all about the healthy fats and my skin looks like I am in my teens and I am 31. People always ask me, and I'm like, I eat a tons of eggs, butter and fish and I put coconut oil in tea twice a day! Loved this video!
great hair tips! thanks for all the info:)
You are my new favorite!!
This came up as a suggested video so thought I'd give it a watch...so glad I did. You're adorable and the eating disorder part made me think about how malnourished I am and how I abuse my body through deliberate restriction. So thank you for going on a tangent :P x
Love your hair keep up with uploading hun your great to listen to:).
I'm going to be going red with henna on my virgin blonde hair soon. it's just gotten too dark and brassy for my liking and I always wanted to go red but I loved my hair too much to try it. now that I hate my color it's the perfect time to do it.
Love your personality! Subscribed☺😊
Growing up I washed my hair daily and sometimes twice. My hair is just at my butt now and it's the healthiest it's ever been. I wash it maybe once a week and more often less. The less I wash the better it feels and grows :) it was a hard transition but your hair will change. My hair went from being oily (from over washing) to more natural and just feels stronger.
Thank you so much for doing this video! I've definitely asked you about your hair on reddit and you were nice enough to reply, sorry for contributing to the absurd amount of people who have asked you about it! Could you please post a tutorial for the makeup look you have in this video? It looks slightly warmer than your "Smokey Eye" tutorial and I'm super curious about the eyeshadows!
The red violet suits you and looks amazing on you.
You're so lucky with it, I have curly hair too but they're so thick and dry! Anything I do it's just so hard to tame...! You're so beautiful btw :)
Fricken stunning 😍😍😍
You are gem, woman! Subbed
I love henna so much! Especially for my super dark, near black hair, because it brings out all of the color and shine in it, but the SMELL. I buy my henna from a Turkish market, so I don't know if American brand henna would smell any different, but my henna KNOCKS ME OUT with the scent. Anyway, I love this video because your hair >>> and hopefully you're getting more frequent with posting!!!
Awww I'm happy to have found your video. You're funny in a serious way. Ha. I wish we could have more of these videos
Thanks for sharing! My hair was about you length when I had a haircut go too far :C I totally get about not feeling yourself without your long hair. So ready for it to grow back ; 3 ;
Your hair is beautiful!!! It really suites your eyes!!!!
I just subscribed!! You're just so lovely as nice!! Thank you for the tips! Also, what brand or how did you get the henna? I've been trying to dye my hair a burgundy/dark red color, but I wanna make sure there aren't any chemicals.
your hair is beautiful! :)
I had no idea ion discontinued orange!
Ion was my stuff in the past but it fades & I don’t like the smell anymore. But it’s generally not a terrible dye!
I’m finally now going to henna now that my bleached hair has grown out (aside from some highlights I put in more recently).
What henna brand did you use? And omg I have been through almost everything you have gone through. I have cut my hair short and got bangs, still growing it out btw also not a great idea honestly i have never been good at styling my hair and my hair texture is wavy and i have really thick puffy hair, well anyways i then bleached the utter shit out of it I then dyed my hair purple after I got tired of that I dyed it black and that eventually faded it was just a cover up to growing out as much as the bad bleach dye now I have mid length hair half is my natural hair the rest is still dry and brittle from the bleach. Though my natural hair has grown out it still looks dull I was hoping since I heard a lot of good things about henna that it would help my hair. What do you think or suggest I do? Should I cut of as much as the damaged hair or leave it I really don't want to make my hair shorter and since my hair is wavy and puffs up, I wouldn't want to use any more heat on my hair. Please shed some advice or tips 🙏❤
Oh man, I would kill to go ten days without washing my hair, but we have opposite hair types. I totally feel you with the hair vs makeup, I'll spend forever on my makeup, but if it takes more than fifteen minutes max to do something in my hair never going to happen.
Also, I'd love to see snaps of what you've been eating now that you love veggies. I am trying to clean up what I eat to fix a health issue without meds and most of all the ideas I find online are either to high in refined carbs or low fat, boo.
I will send more food snaps! A couple nights ago I roasted a big pan of broccoli and mushrooms and put it on some homemade gluten free pizza crust and made pizza, not THE healthiest but MUCH better than anything store bought. All organic, wholesome ingredients! I ate the leftover vegetables for lunch today straight out of the fridge, but they would be great in an omelette or frittata! If you start with roasting two big sheet pans of vegetables (any combination of mushrooms, broccoli, onions, red bell peppers, cauliflower, squash if it's in season, zucchini/yellow squash is ok, but has more water content), you can do SO much. They make a great side, omelettes, pizza toppings, you can put them in lasagna (zucchini as noodles or rice noodles), so many options! I also like to keep a giant box of lettuce in the fridge and make salads with a simple vinaigrette if I'm having an "I'm not hunger but I just want food in my mouth" moment.
We have similar hair textures but imagine me in a short undercut that looks like an edgy pixie lmao. I thought it wouldn’t look right with my hair texture but so far, I’m diggin it! I dyed only the top part red and it looks sexy af.
I was about to ask something but hey you covered everything up
hahaha I been searching for a video like that for so damn long !! hahah so glad I found u ! okay I was a red head as a child too with straight orange hair then it got darker same process as u and curly ! but I never felt like a brunnette no no not me then i reached henna XD my hair is hennaed too now am struggling with growing it and thisis what led me to ur video ! thanks girl ! :D u freakin rock! i enjoyed every second i laughed alot too hahah like i have known u for years lol thanks again!
My hair hates shampoo, have you tried sulfate free shampoo or a cleansing conditioner like Wen (Suave is great as one.)
Basically co wash.
Do you get much fading?
So if you have dark brown hair/black how do you make it like this color wine red with henna ?
Oh, god. You've got the best look ever. Respect.
I don't mean to sound creepy so I apologize if that's the case. I was goth in high school back in the early '90s and that aesthetic still appeals to me. :-)
twenty one seconds is all it took for me to subscribe 😂😂😂
Your hair color is so beautiful
your hair is gorgeous and you have such big eyes, wow, really cool video, down to earth with no bullshit, I really enjoyed.
After commenting on your brow video, I now see the wizardry... Thank you sweet child. xxx
Would love a video about how you eat, I'm on my way to gaining control of my E.D again after a huge weightgain, but I even though i stopped overeating I feel stuck in the bad habits(eating waay to much white bread and pasta, not nearly enough fruits and veggies) I'm so tired if feeling lethargic but I can't seem to get out of it.. I also want to grow my hair long bc I feel like that's something that will make me..more me. My hair used to be down to my lower back but that was before my e.d. kicked into high gear. Really liked the video btw :)
I love using low poo and no poo methods. but the only no poo methods I use are rinses, egg washes and sugar scalp scrubs. I love the convenience of low poo so I plan on sticking with it instead of trying to figure out the right no poo method since it's time consuming and one transition period was bad enough lol
Love your colour
Your hair sounds like mine!! Laughing at how similar your hair story is lol. Biggest difference is that I went for bright red streaks instead of all-over red, and I'm a natural brunette. And I totally switched over to completely natural haircare. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same right down to the growing bangs out because of styling issues :P It's hilarious to me. The anorexia issue is serious, of course, but the parts you shared before that are like you took my hair timeline and made a video about it.
No soda is healthy soda but diet soda is actually worse than regular because of the aspertame terrible chemical! I used no calorie energy mix for a year and was very healthy but I started to pass out it was the mix so stay away from those no calorie or sugar free drinks! Great video and your beautiful! :) God bless
My hair was red when I was born as well. As I grew, it turned a light brown(almost dirty blonde) with gold and red all through it. I still have a streak through the middle of my head of red hair. I have been tempted in the past to Henna my hair, but The permanence is what scares me. I like my current hair color. It changes lighter/darker with the seasons. I think I just get bored every now and then.
What shampoo and conditoner do you use?
what brand/color of eyeshadow is that?
Thanks so much!
I haven't had a chance to watch the entire video yet but I looked at the "short version" at the blogspot. Your hair is gorgeous as are you. My question is how did you transition from using henna to using a regular hair dye? Stylists are telling me that it could break my hair or cause a weird color (like blue or green). One stylist said that even if I just had the roots dyed the area where it overlapped onto the hair that had henna on it could actually start smoking and break off. (She called it a "chemical hair cut".) How did you manage to use a dye over henna without anything bad happening? Thanks.
Henna will only do that to your hair if you use henna that is not 100% pure body art quality. Some "henna" products contain other chemicals, which are what can cause the reaction with normal hair dye. Since my henna was BAQ, I had zero problems and just used the Ion dye all over my hair. Double check your henna brand and ingredients to see if you're dealing with not-legit henna with added chemicals, and if you're unsure, ALWAYS strand test.
"Getting a little passionate. Thinking about butter. Getting all hot and bothered." 12:54
rofl someone make a gif out of that. Anyway, I love this video. I love your advocacy for healthy lifestyle. You're awesome.
Does the dye fade a lot?
THANK YOU!
do you still condition just not shampoo??
I like your message at the end :) love your hair color and your crazy curly hair 😁.
I've tried henna and loved the color but I noticed it made my hair stiff.
I'll try again because I am so scared to use chemical color! my hair is so delicate and I finally figured out how to make it behave and feel better.
have you ever used organic colors besides henna?
+GueyshArt Nope, just body art quality henna! Good luck with your hair color!
thx :)
Yep good quality henna is best. It will raise your cuticles at first so after you oil and deep condition the first week or day or two all should be good.
have you tried any no poo wash methods or low poo? so much better than sulfates and silicone filled shampoo.
+iwatch420 I haven't actually! It would probably be fantastic for my hair. My cousin has been doing either low-poo or no-poo for years now and she loves it!
Where did you buy the hair dye?
Hey I just subscribed but I just noticed that your last video was 3 years ago, correct me if I’m wrong, hopefully your still doing videos ❤️they are very helpful.
Dude we're hair twins! Thick and curly but gets straighter now that it's really long, and tangles into this birds nest unless I slather it in oil haha. It's naturally auburn but I've been using BAQ Henna for the past 2yrs. Love it, but its time to give it some oomph and add more red. Did you put the Ion product straight on top of the henna, or lighten it first? (Sorry if I missed this in the vid.) I can't find much info on the web about dyeing hair after henna, except people saying not to do it… Advice?
TheAdventureLady If you used BAQ henna, you should be safe to use the Ion stuff directly over it! That's what I did, minus the part I bleached for other reasons. ALWAYS strand test when it comes to henna though! Better safe than sorry!
please make more videos . we need more youtubers like you T^T
What is the color henna.
Love your hair
what brand of henna did you use?
Is the dye semi permanet, demi permanet, or permanet?
Ur HAIR AHHHHHH IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL I LOVE RED HAIR
I love you! Your my spirit animal. 😍😋💖
oh apricot kernal oil is AMAZING for dry tips :) I was using it to make my fiance beard oil and it's amazing if you rub it in your ends doll xoxo ~Kat
Did you reapply the henna because it faded?
I recently dyed my hair with henna and i love the color but eventually its gonna grow out and i dont want to dye it all again if it is going to make it darker. Instead i just might do the roots, but if it does fade then i might as well do it all then.
No, it got a bit darker, but didn't fade. I reapplied because of the roots :)
My hair are brown, i have tried to make them red with henna but it did not work! They just became slightly red
i was thinking that the reason was because my hair are very long and i did not put enough henna! (i used 100 gr)
i was thinking to use 200 gr next time.
Do u have any tip?
thank you so much!
Yeah, if you have long hair you'll probably want to use a lot more than 100 grams. Also, unless your hair is very light brown, you're not going to get vibrant bright red. The henna only adds red to whatever you have as a base, so if it's medium brown, you'll get auburn, if it's blonde, you'll get orange-red.
Hi! I love your video :) new sub. I just have 2 questions about henna. First off, if I want to deepen the color as fast as I can, how much time do I have to wait in between applications? Hours? Days? Weeks? I have no idea. Also I really want to have dark auburn hair, and I currently have a medium/dark brown hair. Will it be hard for me to get really red? Thanks :p
Well, what color do you want to end up with? Dark auburn? If that's what you want, probably one application of henna will do it if you're starting out with medium/dark brown hair. However, you also mentioned "really red", so how red are you wanting to go? If you want your hair to be any lighter or brighter, whether with henna or normal dye, you're going to have to lighten your current hair color first. It just depends on what you want =)
+coffee_pls thanks :) I just did it last night and I love how my hair turned out. It looks like a really natural dark auburn. I'm not going to do another coat, I'm just going to do root touch ups every once in a while
Excellent! Glad it worked out for you. Tag me if you post on instagram or anything, I'd love to see!
Did you use developer with the ion brights? also, those bangs looked so fucking good on you. i have had dreads for almost 3 years now and I have been wanting to brush a few of them out for straight across bangs. thank you thank you thank you for the inspiration, lol. i have been debating this for weeks.
+Nikki Samek I didn't use any developer, just hte tube I showed!
+coffee_pls that's interesting! I think I might try it.
I currently have a pixie undercut because my hair is so thick an oily. However, I do occasionally miss my long hair. I've been getting bored and want to grow out my pixie maybe? From your history it doesn't seem like you have much experience in this, but you are very knowledgeable. So... any tips on getting through the weird lengths that happen when growing out a pixie?
The worst is when I end up with a mullet after a few months.
Oh man, I don't know if I can help you there. The shortest I've ever had my hair was in 2011, the photo shown at 6:48. If it were me I would try to find a fun way to style it? I have a friend who is growing hers out and she wears a lot of scarves right now and it's super cute.
coffee_pls
Ooooh! I hadn't thought about scarves to help hide the growing. Thanks!
Any tips on managing thick, oily hair when I do gain some length?
Bri P The theory is that even thick, oily hair can benefit by minimal shampooing, like once a week or longer in between. But it's hard to get through the stage of your hair just being oily until it adapts! I When I had blunt bangs, my hair was much oilier it seemed, and when I stopped shampooing often it was a little intense at first. But when I started growing them out and let my hair adapt, it was awesome! I do have naturally dry hair, though, so it would be more trial and error for you. I would google some stuff about it since I'm not the best resource for naturally oily hair!
coffee_pls Thank you lovely lady!
Okay, so Ive dyed my hair with light brown henna twice. I read that overtime you dye your hair with henna, it gets darker. Is that true? Also, I just dyed my hair with red henna and the top turned out fine but the bottom is dark, almost brown. Is there any way I can brighten up my results to get a bright red color with henna?
+Beccah Belle I discuss this in the video! Henna will get darker as it builds up. If you get henna that claims to be "brown" it's not 100% henna. Henna contains a chemical called lawsone, and it's RED. The results depend on the color of hair you start with. If you have white blonde hair, real henna will make it bright orange red. If you start with light brown or dark brown hair, you'll end up with darker red or auburn. No matter what, the henna builds layers and will appear darker each time you do it. The only way to get it brighter or more vivid would be to start with lighter hair. be VERY careful when you've used henna that's "light brown" or not 100% body art quality, because if you use lighteners after that it could react poorly with the chemicals that were in your "henna". Always strand test, and do your research. I ended up using Ion over my henna for that brightness, and that's what I've stuck with for that reason. It gives me the vividness I want, and it looks nice because my natural hair is auburn. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions, and make sure you look in the descriptions and use the timestamps to skip to the parts of the video that are relevant to your questions =)
Amazing color not too red. Love it
Question: If I had black hair, the henna wouldn't be enough to make it red, right?
Correct. Henna cannot lighten hair, instead stains over the base colour of your hair. It would certainly give it a red cast in the light, but would look black mostly.
princeicio Yep, Henna doesn't lighten at all. It's a stain! If you start with pure white hair, it will dye it orange/red. If you start with dirty blonde, it will be vibrant deep red. If you start with dark brown or black, it will just give it a red cast in the sun light.
How do you sleep with your hair? Do you tie it in a bun or braid it or what?
I just leave it down actually! I don't like the feeling of it being tied up when I'm sleeping =)
I love that.
Hi! I've been using henna for over 7 years but I noticed it's gotten darker...i want to start using lighter hair color (Olia from Garnier) this product has no Ammonia so it's much safer than other regular hair dyes because it's 60% oil based. However, I've been told that in order to do that I must use chemicals to remove Henna so the new color can be effective. I am afraid to damage my hair if I do this, what's your opinion about this?
If you want your hair to be lighter, you'll definitely have to either wait until the hennaed part grows out, or lighten it somehow. You need to be really careful about how you do it, because chemicals can react badly with each other and mess up your hair. If you used body art quality henna, it probably wouldn't be a problem, but I would recommend going to a professional and showing them EXACTLY what you've been using henna wise and get their advice. :)
@coffee_pls Thank you so much for replying so quickly!! :) I am gonna have to go to a professional because I can't stand the outgrowing process but before heading on that direction I was thinking to apply olive oil leave it over night and wash it in the morning with a harsh shampoo and after 6 applications it'll lighten up...i am completely against chemicals that's why i am in search of "natural" method.
It's worth a shot, but you're probably going to be hard pressed to lighten it much at all without chemicals, especially with henna involved! Best of luck though!
I went on to dying my hair for the first time with actual hair dye after few years of out growing my henna died hair. Used the ion brilliance hair dye in purple. HUGE disappointment. my hair looked like a raccoon. Ended up dying my hair with olia hair dye and it was amazing. I always prefer the ammonia free. the ion brilliance was just shit. and never again trying that. i had even bleached my hair to the appropriate level to get the colour too but it turned out horrible.
Awesome Job with the table of contents. You allowed us to take what we want from your message. I hate watching these videos where the intro goes on and on and on and you just get so sick of listening to someone talk about NOTHING...... if I could suggest one thing to anyone on these tutorials... It would be to make it short and sweet... too much blah blah blah is just annoying. Great job!
jeeeeeees you're the most beautiful thing ever
I like your hair color and phone cover
I love your hair
