Hi Tori! I just wanted to let you know that your video helped me SO much. I used to dye my hair pure henna red when I was younger, then I used chemical dyes for almost ten years before wanting to try natural dye for black. Because of my experience with pure henna I assumed it would be just as easy, and kept buying the henna/indigo mixes with really disappointing results. I then found your video and saw that I have almost identical hair type to your sister's (I have typical Scandinavian fine hair), although mine is slightly lighter than hers still - but other than that it ticked all the boxes (damaged from chemical treatments, black as a goal, etc). And I am so happy it yielded results. It might be slightly lighter than my chemically died black on the ends, but this obviously looks so much better and healthier. I was worried I had no choice but to go back to chemical dye before I found your video, so thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
thanks for the vid. btw your sis looks like a really calm and quiet person.
Nice to know that this would be effective for gray hair too! Really Awesome!
Hi there, I was just wondering if you ever deal with henna buildup, or if you avoid that because you focus on root touch ups instead of the whole head each time you do it? Also just wondering if you know how to deal with your hair if it reaches that point where the henna no longer feels smooth and shiny but more like a residue?
That color looks beautiful on her!!🙏❤❤
Looks great on her. Your red scarf is very flattering on you too!🧣
has your sister not cover her hair while the products were processing? could I also ask after mixing the Henna, how long was it kept on the Pot before applying and when on the head(hair), how long was both the Henna and indigo on her hair on before being washed
Great tips, BUT, why didn't you wipe the dye from her ears, neck and forehead?
Hey Tori! I watched this and the one you did with your Mum as well. I have about 35% greys and have found that just using regular LM henna (I've tried dark brown, auburn, red, burgundy last weekend) on my natural dark brown curls, and the greys are beautifully covered and look a bit lighter, giving me a look of natural highlights. Have you seen anyone do this?
Hey Tori I've never dyed my hair with anything and I'm jet black, what should I do to get red-ish hair?
Hey Tori! Was your sister's hair color more of a blue black or did it lean more on the warmer/red side/have red undertones?
I just did my hair dark brown ( for the first time ). I left the henna on for 3 hours like the instructions said and then the color on for three hours. my roots were still so red which I don't like at all. so I mixed up some more indigo and let it set for 2 hours . still has the red hue ... how do you get it to come out so dark? its beautiful. please help
Hi my hair is already black with henna.i just want to dye my hair with indigo powder.can i skip the henna part? Or should i dye the henna first and then use the indigo powder?
If you are just trying to get your hair to a darker shade of brown should you still do the two step process? I want to try henna for the first time but I don't want my hair to turn black
Does the indigo fade and show the red tone? Also if you already have indigo dyed hair, do you have to keep dying it with henna and after with indigo every time you have to retouch your hair or you can also just use the indigo
Hey Tori, after watching your videos , I decided to switch from box and salon dye to henna. My natural colour is dark brown. I have had different shades of brown , mahogany which means I have a lot of build up and it looks very black (but kind of unnatural black not raven black). Also my roots have about 30%grey and currently is kind of burgundy. My last box dye wasn't very even, so now I have about 2cm of visible burgundy roots (greys are covered) and the rest is this heavy black. My hair is curly , shoulder length, thick, and possibly high porosity. So the question. I would like to have a whole length of the hair the same even shade of dark brown/chocolate. How do I achieve it? Do I need to strip existing colour first with something like 'Colourless Colour Remover" or Effasoll? Or go with the henna straight ahead? I assume I would need to do 2 step "colour the gray". What colour though? Dark brown? Medium brown? Chestnut?I am clueless, so would appreciate a bit of advise...Thanks
Hi Tony,
I watched your video recently. I ordered 2step black light mountain brand color as well.
My question is how much quantity should be for henna in first step and how much quantity for indigo for second step.
Also want to know how much maximum time I should keep applied for heena and indigo respectively.
I am a boy and have medium hair.
I have 70% grey hair.
I want to get black color on my hair.
Thanks in advance.
I’m amazed at your results! I have been having so many troubles with getting my henna to work
I used to follow this tutorial, unfortunately henndigo black always faded out of my hair after like two washes. When I bleached it though later on, I realized the Indigo was still very much there lol
@@copiumforthepeople it’s because Other people I follow on UA-cam recommend to wait at least 1 week between the henna application and the indigo application, to give time to the henna to oxydize
Hi! I am new to your channel. I have a lot of grey hair and want to use henna for the first time. My hair right now is a medium brown color with blond high lights. I want a more rich light chestnut color. What would you recommend?
I use light mountain henna in black.. The one with the bird on it & I don't have to do the 2 step process because the henna and indigo are mixed together. I naturally have dark blonde hair and mine comes back black everytime I dye it. Now been 4 yrs I mix mine with coffee and coconut oil. Mine sticks very well it's very permanent just have to touch my roots up.
That is awesome! We have done the one-step process too and it does give great results. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Tippy, my hair is naturally black but i have some grey hair, can i use this product for cover grey?
What were the measurements of coffee and coconut oil you used. I would love to give that a try!
Yes, what measurement you use for coffee and coconut oil to that mix? Also, for the one-step process, how do the uploaders have good success? Is there another video we can watch for the 1-step? Thank you!
Hi guys! So with the coffee I just make a regular pot of coffee. I poor it in until it's mixed good nice and smooth. The coconut oil I just use 1 tsp. Lately I've put a dash of salt in too.. They say it helps it stick better. But thats just how I do mine. You could also use a tsp of apple cider vinager. 😊
I just went on their website to get the same black but in their box it doesn’t say 2 step process and no where on their description.
If I already done red henna do I need to two step or can I simply use black henna
I purchased the Light Mountain Natural Colour the Grey Dark Brown. How long to I leave the colour on the sample hair (already did step 1, it turned green) Step 2 said 25 minutes but hair is still green I think.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your color is a pretty red. What is it? Does it fade? How long does it last? Looks like your roots have grown out already unless you used a different color.
I am trying this on light brown hair and I REALLY hope it turns this black!!! I haven't dyed my hair in over 5 years because I didn't want to use chemical dyes anymore but I miss my black soo much. Just ordered
Did it work?
I love thé result !
How does your lovely sister rinse and wash out indigo? Just need a quick tip on that!!🙏🙏
I have black hair and a little bit of gray in my forehead, should I need to use indgo? What should I do first? I love your video by the way.
You might just be able to do the one step process from www.light-mountain-hair-color.com/. It’s the one with the toucan on the front. Use” tori “ as a discount code when you check out and it will save you some money!
It looks like it has blue overtones, or is that just the lighting?
Can show how to mix the black henna ..I think I did mine wrong I only got the black henna not the two step ..and mine was watery ..my hair didn’t turn black more like brown ..
Do you know why some people recommend waiting 3 days between the henna and indigo application to cover greys? Thanks
it takes like 1-2 days for henna to fully process :)
Can anyone tell me if Light Mountain stains countertops or the sink? I’d like to try it but have to wash it out in the shower.
This is super helpful thank you sweetie
The first step can go on dry hair?
I just used this product for the first time in dark brown and it covered my white hairs and I am just so happy! I'm in shock as to how good it worked and it's affordable! 😍
violet goodman yay I'm so glad you loved it! It truly does cover so well! ❤️❤️❤️
I am using henna from now on. No more bad hair dye:) So happy. I watched your video alot before purchasing, so thank you
Thank you for watching!
Can I ask you how long do you allow the henna on your hair?
hi.i have a few stubborn gray hair which dint go after two step application,any suggestion for that?
For me I would go over those areas again and leave on the first step longer (and the second step just as long). The initial henna step is what helps those stubborn hairs to absorb the color. I am going to be doing a henna for gray (using my mom as a model) so watch out for that for more details on covering gray hair.
Is henna truly drying ? And if so what could I add to it ( natural remedy ) ? Thank you !! Definitely going to try henna indigo for the first time .❤️
Add aloe Vera powder to combat dryness
How long does this color last before you have to do it again, and can you do it before the color washes out so you can have nice black hair all the time.
In our experience the main need to recolor is for the roots growing out! It has almost no fading and will keep with rich color until you need to cover your roots! You can color however often you want because there is no damage to your hair or body.
Also if you do henna for red/ brown it will darken in the next few days. Not sure about black hair though
Thank you
You wash the henna and the put the indigo? Or do you have to wait sometime before put the indigo?
You put it directly on afterward.
With all of the videos I have seen before on this topic, everyone has dark hair before they do the henna and indigo. I have natural orangey-dark blondish medium brown lol. I was wondering if the results will be the same if I do this?
I have used this on my mom's hair (she has at least 50% grey/white at the roots) and it covers hers just the same. From my experience using the indigo+henna it covers light hair as well as dark. I think you could at least try it out and do a strand test with hair from your brush.
Tori Noelle Daniels Thank you so much for replying, I will try it out!
pure imagination did you end up trying? How did it go?
can you just put the indigo only to get a blueish color??????
A question, the 2nd step needs to prepare 3 hours before, the same time that the 1st step? Thxs
If you're using indigo as a second step then it doesn't need 3 hours to prepare. It only has to sit for about 30 minutes or so in order to develop and draw out the color from the leaves. If you use Light Mountain's two step process, they give you a guide for curing times depending on which colors you've chosen. Basically - Reds process longer, Black and Browns can process shorter. Hope this helps!
How many hours for indigo ?
Wonder if you can add gentian violet to your henna to alter the color...anyone try this?
Is this safe to use over previously salon-dyed hair? I’ve been dyeing my gray roots forever in the salon. I am worried about heavy metals in the henna, reacting with the dye. Is the henna from this company, free of heavy metals?
Yes
Thank you very much for your wonderful instructions. I have a question that I could not find any answer to: Is Indigo good or bad for the hair? Is it useful? Or does it damage the hair a bit? Please try to answer me. I have thin hair and I use Hinna to make it a bit stronger and healthier. But now I need to colour my gray hairs and I dont like the red/oringe . Thus I need to know more . Thank you very much again .
In my experience using indigo with henna it has been very strengthening and nourishing to the hair. I have used it on 3 different people with different original colors and textures of hair and they have all liked the results.
Thank you very much for your answer. I will try it. God bless you.

Dear, I ´ve been using henna and then indigo, like you showed on the video, and I LOVE the colour, and the way my hair looks... it´s ok... but, when I wash off the indigo it does NOT wash off completely! It sticks to my hair and scalp!!!
I have to wait 2 days so I can finally use no sulfate shampoo (I´m low poo) and then I can wash it off completely.
It´s so bad... how do you do to get free from the excess of indigo after applying it?????
Hey Margarete! The indigo can linger because through this process the hair is being coated with the henna mixture. I always do a thorough wash a few days after, but honestly (even when using 100% henna) the only way to get rid of the residue is after a few good washes. So depending on how often or seldom you shampoo this can vary. If you want to rid your hair of the residue then you may choose to wash more frequently after using henna. I usually only wash about 1-2 times per week, so after I henna it can be a few weeks before all the residue is gone. It's just part of this process! It doesn't bother me as much now because I have seen the results of healthy strong hair and skin. I hope this helps!
@Loretta De Los Rios not suppose to shampoo after henna, it's a natural conditioner so just use conditioner to get rid of excess
My hair is black when I used red henna it didn't have same effect what should I do in order to get red hair ?
Henna cannot lighten your hair it just stains it so if your hair is black and you want to go red, the only way is to bleach it and then color it unfortunately...
Indi-glow !
Yaaassss!
thanks awesome vid helps me a lot
Thanks! Good luck
I have very dark hair henna will not show up .. what can i do to optain this red color?
If your hair is very dark you would have to lighten before putting on the henna to get the brighter red color. I am filming a video today to show some alternatives if your hair is darker. Stay tuned to see that soon!
I just purchased this same one. How long am I supposed to let step 1 henna sit in the bowl. Am I reading it correctly 30 mins before applying. I am asking because I have seen a lot of videos and they let it sit for hours.
Minimum would be 30 mins, but I let mine sit for at least 1 hour or so.
Thank you for your reply. 😊
Can you bleach over indigo later on or will it react badly?
No, if you bleach indigo it turns green. I use henna and indigo, but as a one step to make a deep brown. I use Light Mountain in Dark Chocolate
do i use that same box if i'm going for a black? my hair has been chemically treated with a chocolate brown before, so do I use the same box you have used on your sister? :)
You would probably be able to achieve a good color with either the one or two step process, but we decided to go for the two-step just to be sure it would cover over her previously chemically treated hair.
whats the difference between this product and the normal light montain?
This is a two step where the henna and indigo are not mixed together. As you see in the video I applied the henna to her hair first, washed out, then applied indigo.
Is this henna 100 percent natural ?? I’m looking for something without ppd in it
From Light Mountain Natural - Yes! The only ingredients they use are henna/indigo/senna!
Is it 100% natural?
what happens if i just use the indigo? my hair's already very dark brown, i just wanna make it real pitch black. could i skip the henna?
navi you could just buy the one step process with the indigo/henna blend. The henna mixed in helps the indigo stick and saturate the hair. You can get the regular indigo one from light mountains site under the regular henna color, not the “color the gray”
Without the henna to balance out the indigo, I've heard of cases where plain indigo can turn your hair greenish
@@torinoelle7215 Thanks!!
@@deecomposed Oh my! Thanks for answering xx
Какая температура воды должна быть для шага1 и шага2? 90 градусов или меньше?
В инструкции написано довести воду до кипения и помешивая медленно добавить в порошок. Значит кипяток😊
Hi I am in Bangladesh & in bangladesh it's not available but i need this indigo powder very badly my age is 18 but my hair is white for this i need this indigo powder badly how can i find it & buy it plzzzzzzzzz help me plzzzzz reply me
PlzzZzzzzzz😣😣😣😣
You can get it easily from pansari those who sales herbs and unani medicine .They call it neel powder .
What would happen if she had left the henna sit longer?
Not much difference. Not like it would be if it were red
Great video! Your furry familiars are adorable!
Thank you!
Can you choose different colors other than black or red?
Absolutely! Check out Light Mountain Natural's website for a list of different color options and to see a color chart that can help you choose a color for you!
Also if you use the code "tori" on their site you can get 20% off!
wonderful . just one question before the 2nd step . your sister's hair is dry or wet?
thank you
Great question! It was wet when we applied the second step (indigo). This was the step that she wanted to leave on for multiple hours so leaving the hair wet before application kept the product from drying out prematurely. Thanks for asking!
the next time please try with dry hair . i would like to know the outcome
thank you
have a great time both of you
bye

Hello 😊 I have one step black henna by Light mountain natural, is that good ? Or I have to privilege the 2 step method?
The 2 step method is for people that have more than 10 % white, gray or blond hair.
Do you only leave the henna on for 30 min before the Indigo?
Or maybe an hour. I recently color my mom's hair with the two step process for her grey and we left the henna for 1 hour, and the indigo for 1 hour.
Also, I filmed that process with my mom and hope to upload it soon!
I have color treated hair and
iTS A LOVELY SHADE OF DARK CHOCOLATE...DO YOU THINK IF A PERSON USED ONLY THE INDIGO IT MIGHT ACTUALLY GET BLACK?
You will need to use a mixture that has henna in it because henna gives the staining effect. You can find different blends that use more or less henna to indigo.
How long did it last?
Until she needed to fill in her roots! All she did was root touch up and she was good.
can you skip the first step and just use the black henna?
If you have brown or red hair it should work fine but if you have really light or medium blonde hair it will turn it green or blue but if you have blonde hair and use regular red henna it will act as a filler to provide pigments in your hair, than you can use the black color.
Bože, toho psíka by som zjedla z lásky, taký je zlatučký. Mačičky sú milé tiež, ale ten malý "kuťúúú" proste nemá chybu. Ako malá veverička. Color beautiful.
hello! I dye my blonde hair-black. would this work for me? I'm trying to get away from.commercial dyes.
AND can I put turnover previously chemical dyed hair?
They recommend blondes henna their hair red first, before doing the dark indigo. So the 2 step process she's using should be just what you're looking for.
Xhelle Cat Heya, I know this was from ages ago, but did you end up trying this method? Did it work well? I'm blonde too and would love to know!
@@AetherIdol I'm sorry this is delayed, I JUST got the notification. It did NOT work. I use ion from Sally's because it is PPD free
@@mrsc6917 Thanks for getting back to me! That's a shame it didn't work. I knew it was to good to be true. :( I will have a look at Ion colours. PPD scares me!
She got british look
You should have done her eyebrows. Looks weird with them still brown.
Is this 100% henna? I know some henna colors aren’t pure and actually have chemicals like ppd and other stuff. Asking because I am very allergic to chemical dyes!!
All colors from Light Mountain Natural have only henna, indigo, and/or senna leaves as the ingredients! No added chemical or harmful ingredients. The one I use on my own hair is 100% henna only because I do red, but in this video the blend we use is henna and indigo. Only two ingredients! Hope this helps :)
vulgar_vintage I’m also SUPER allergic to chemical dyes - but light mountain natural is great for me (:
No near hospitalization or anything!
God loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to save us from sin! Remember that the Lord loves you! Confess Jesus is Lord! Confess your sins to God, forgive others, repent and be saved: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:9 KJV
Why did she use henna and then indigo? Why not Indigo by itself ?
Her face is much prettier without the bangs 😊
