Do you struggle with coloring your grey hair? Let me know if you have any questions after watching this video and I will help you finally get those resistant greys covered!
Hi Khadijah, I do have few questions, I have been on henna ( adding an egg and vinegar and honey) + indigo ( adding yogurt) 2 steps weekly after shampooing it for about a year. I am curly and my hair is course. Recently my curls are too relaxed and my hair is damaged, getting brittle ends and shedding a lot What am I doing wrong? I use organic henna and indigo and I wrap my hair with cling film for a couple of hours for each application. Looking forward to hearing from you 🥰🥰🥰
I got the best results this weekend by doing henna + indigo as step one. After 4hrs, I washed it off and did step 2 with indigo alone and let it sit for another 4hrs. My goodness... my hair turned out jet-black and super shiny. Even the stubborn greys at the front were not spared. The application process and waiting is quite hectic but totally worth it.
Two days ago, I too did the same as you for the first time since I began using henna in 2018. As a customer of Henna Sooq since 2018, Khadijah sharing this information was indeed helpful. However, my first application was 75:25, mostly indigo to get as dark as possible on the first application, second application only indigo. Too bad deep conditioning your hair after each wash fades the henna. Oh well.
Hey Nancy ! Thank you for sharing. Not sure if you are still checking this thread, but do you mind sharing if the indigo black color was retained by your hair so far? I am struggling to get the indigo stick. My hair comes out really nice and black right after the two step process, but the indigo gets washed out about a month later, and the greys I tried to cover are all left looking deep red from the henna. Would appreciate your feedback. So glad you found a strategy that worked for you
I use a plastic cap for my hair overall but I then wrap my edges with Saran wrap. This always ensures they don't dry out and they get great coloration! Hope this helps someone 😊
Love your videos! I have been using henna for 7 years now after an immune illness caused me to become extremely sensitive to perfumes, harsh chemicals and bleach products. Henna keeps my greys away and leaves me healthy and not feeling sick for 2 - 3 weeks after treatment. For anyone with chemical sensitivity who wants to color their hair with a natural shade of red... henna is a goddess of perfection.
After watching many videos I saw yours and finally decided to give henna + indigo a try. I followed your tips to the letter and it worked! 💜🙏🏼 These two covered my grays way better than any hair dye I tried in the past (and I tried a lot!) Thank you!
Yesterday I made a mixture of pure henna and indigo. The ratio of henna to indigo was approximately 1:1. I added one spoon each of amla powder, cassia powder, neem powder and aloe vera powder to the mixture. I kept the mixture on my hair for about 3 hours and then rinsed it well with just water. Today I only put indigo and that only on the roots that have some stubborn grays that cannot be covered with chemical dye. I kept the indigo on my hair for about 20 minutes to half an hour. After that I only washed with water. The result is astonishing. Persistent grays are completely covered. Hair that was previously dyed with chemical dyes has now doubled in volume. And the color, the color is a cool natural coffee brown. Thanks for the very valuable tips
I've been using their Red Raj for years to cover greys. I like the copper color, so I don't bother with the indigo step. My tip: I brew my henna powder with hibiscus tea as the tea has an acidic pH (which increases dye release) and is itself a beautiful red color. Once developed, I add a few drops of lavender essential oil as this also helps release lawsone. Gorgeous results!
Greetings, I love your advice. I use to get my henna in a box (where it was premixed into various hues) I always used wine & neutral. I believe you just inspired me to try your technique.
I saw a Tutorial about indigo and henna and the lady say that after his experience with the mixture indigo don’t like acidity!! And with the hibiscus 🌺 ph acid indigo don’t like hibiscus 🌺 I m confused I m in a war to hide my grey hair 🧑🦳 and from tutorial to tutorial I m literally lost 😞
I have watched several videos on dying my hair using henna and indigo….for years!!! Yours is the first channel that recommended combining the henna and indigo, and adding a second, separate indigo application. I have henna in my hair as I’m typing this message. I have always applied henna separately and then indigo afterwards as a second step. My results have been pretty inconsistent. I’m going to try your method next time. Thank you so much for your videos. New subscriber!
I’m new to henna and have recently undergone a hair detox. So now my hair care is 100% chemical free and non-toxic! Yay! You mentioned some things here I had not known and will integrate into my henna color routine. Thank you!
How did you detox your hair. I have brownish red permanent hair dye (97% natural) & want to grow out greys by using henna hoping it will fade out & not have to grow the henna out too. Avoiding the skunk root grow out.
I been using Henna Sooq- Red Raj + Amla powder for years now! I’ve used many other henna lines but Henna Sooq is by far the best! I get the best copper/ brown tones to my grays! I love the products and definitely recommend!
I am just the happiest person here! Just started using your product and have stubborn grays! But I got discouraged because of the way I was doing the application. This is a right on time! Thank you 🙏🏾
When i used to dye my hair darker i used henna first on my roots and then the henna and indygo mixture. It helped a lot cover all greys and colour was more intense 😊
First just henna and then half henna half indigo. More henna means more reddisch. More indigo will make it darker. It's up to you how dark you want it to be
I find that if I use a 50:50 henna:indigo ratio for the first application, my greys do not get covered. I typically need almost 100% henna for the first application. Then on the second application, I do 75:25 indigo: henna to achieve a darker brown tone.
Your second mix of 75:25 mostly indigo ratio is what do. I have been doing this as my sole step. Recently, I have had to reapply the is within a week. I've thought that indigo makes the dark color. Do you apply your second application the same day or wait a few days? Seems Khadija says the second application should be only indigo. I think I will try this soon. I'd appreciate your feedback. Thank you
I agree tht the 50:50 did nothing for me. I got a couple of copper strays then nothing. I now did Red Raj alone then after rinsing that out, added just indigo over that and frankly its like the indigo didnt take at all and i left that on overnight
Make sure you don't make the indigo until you're ready to use it. In the video she makes them at the same time but you need to let the henna sit for 3 or 4 hours BEFORE mixing the indigo. Once you mix that into the henna use it IMMEDIATELY for the indigo to work.
I just started watching your channel. Maybe everyone is different but I mix henna with apple cider vinegar and peppermint, lavender and rosemary essential oils and get perfect coverage of my grey hair the first time. My hair does grow back really fast but I still only do it once a month and my hair loves it.
Hi Kim, If I understand correctly, you mix all 4 together with the henna (apple cider vinegar, peppermint, lavender, and rosemary)? Please inform. Thanks
@@carolegray7980 Hi Carole! Yes ma’am! I mix henna with apple cider vinegar first and once it looks like a paste, I add in my lavender, peppermint and rosemary essential oil and let it sit overnight. Maybe you don’t have to let it sit overnight but I’d rather be safe than sorry 😆 I never mix it with water unless doing a tea when I just want to strengthen my strands. When I want coverage for my greys, I mix with apple cider vinegar
@@kimmurphy9094 Thanks for the info. I want to try your recipe for my first time. I just wanted to ask if you leave the mix in the fridge overnight or out on the counter. Thank you and have a blessed day!
@@bettyannwashington2367 Hi! I just leave it out overnight. I make enough to cover my hair at that time so I don’t have to put it in the fridge once I’m done.
I first use only henna to cover my hair for 3 hours. Then, after washing it off, I use indigo for another 3 hours. This gets me fantastic coverage and a black color of hair.
Great info, thank you so much for sharing. I'd like to add that I used to have very dry scalp and hair after henna treatment. I could see and feel that my hair is super healthy when wet. Unfortunately once I dry it up, my scalp would itch and hair became crunchy until recently when I discovered glycerine oil . I add it to the treatment during henna application and every other day to keep my hair and scalp well moisturised. I couldn't be happier! Ps: Glycerine oil is a little sticky but keeps the hair so moisturised and soft. I'm not sure many people would appreciate the stickiness lol. Personally I don't mind because my hair is pretty short :-)
tried this method & it's first time I've got 100% coverage of my stubborn grey hairs mainly along front hairline which is obvious more noticeable. I've been using henna/Indigo trying to achieve black, in my light brown hair with 10% grey's. doing just one henna/Indigo application with higher % of Indigo will achieve dark brown hair fairly well (albeit greys tend to fade quickly) But if you want pitch black, the key to achieving this -main difference from other methods - is DOING as hennasooq recommends, the henna/Indigo mix first then 100% Indigo IMMEDIATELY after rinsing out the combination henna/Indigo. I'm very glad I found this tutorial & now have a reliable source of information for henna related issues. Thankz heaps hennsooq
I am so happy to have discovered your henna videos because I have been looking for a natural product for a while now and never really thought about using henna because I thought it only came in black since my natural hair is brown which also compliments my complexion. Recently I coloured my hair in copper penny, a semi permanent which I did three weeks ago and the roots have faded already. So now I know I can get shade to blend, I am going to look for it and follow your directions. Thanks to Kimberly and Jacqueline for sharing their ideas on what they use to get the red and copper colour. Thank you.
Hi Khadijah. Can you do a video on touching up the grey roots only? Also, I use a few different oils in my hair. Does this make the color fade quicker, and which oils are best to use to prevent fading before the 4 to 6 weeks of the next henna treatment? Thanks for this video 👍🏽. I will do the 2 step treatment on my next henna day.
Luv luv luv your henna products and indigo and although I have been using them for two years I learned something new, I think my consistency is a bit to thin😬 The next time I apply it I will use less water & will do the 2-Step process to help tone down some of my coppery hues. Thank you for continuing to education us 💝
I tried doing a second indigo after the first process😲😲😲😲😲 OMG it works. The greys are covered and it looks normal not having 2 different colors, I did not know that can be possible thank you Khadija😁 BTW always wear gloves, I didn't wear one now my hands look funny😂
In my experience, I have used henna right after mixing and it worked. The same happened with indigo. I tried also the henna leftover over a week and it worked perfectly on grey hair
Same for me. I mix henna then use it immediately, a day before I use it, a week before I use it & I've froze it for a week took it out of the freezer & still let it sit for a week & it still worked fine to cover my greys in every instance.
I purchased my starter products from Henna Sooq! Doing my formula experimentation now with shed hair from my wash days. Just have two more formulas to try and I'm back to henna again! Cant wait!😁
So I used henna for 4 hours and it was too copper. But as soon as I rinsed it out, I used the same leftover henna batch on the front part of my hair line for 30 extra minutes. Rinsed out then used indigo for two hours, On the parts where I did the second (30 min) henna, my hair is still dark. .. everything else, henna and indigo washed out and became very light. This was also the first time I did NOT use heat…and also the first time the color faded…So heat cap seems to be key for grey to black in my experience.
My hair came out a beautiful brown, I've gotten so many compliments and it did cover my grays except for the edges, otherwise, it was shiny and so pretty!
I am glad that this can be separated and frozen, because that's a lot for my short hair. Looking forward to this recipe for dyeing my hair brown. Thank you.
I use 200g of henna powder (only henna, i like the red tone), 500ml of water (normal temperature) and 50ml of vinager (you have a better dye release when the environment is more acid). Let it rest for 4 to 8 hours, depending on the weather temperature, away from light (cause light degrades the pigment) and coverd (cause oxygen also degrades the pigment). Then, leave it in my head for 3 to 4 hours. Always works very nicely. Never goes away, never fades.
Hi, did you ever do the 1 step process to cover the grey??? That doesn't work!!! That's why Khadia said in the video that the 2nd indigo application is necessary for covering grey hair.
@@jellybellyfun3288 Yes, after thinking about it, I try it years ago and you’re right it didn’t work. But the two step for one hour each is what also worked for me rather than three hours for henna and three hours for indigo.
@@jellybellyfun3288 I have 4a texture and medium density hair…..I don’t see it as thick, cause it was much thicker years ago, but other’s see it as “full” and think my natural texture is 3b/c, but it isn’t.
I bought a dye with henna indigo and cassia. Cassia is used for making the color last longer . It will be the first time I will dye my hair with henna. I have used chemical dye a few months ago. I will add some neem amla and aloe powder. I hope it goes well!!!😂
This is my first time To watch this channel thank you for sharing I learn a lot I always mix the powder together and I’m waiting for two hours and applying on my hair but today I learned a lot thank you so much again for sharing
Hello Khadija, I have to say that I love your products, they feel so nice on my hair, they blend so easily and I love the shine on my hair but, I've been struggling a little bit with my mixing with indigo. Let me tell you that I have to make two steps. First step: I just use Red Raj (my favorite) with hot distilled water and I leave it for 24 hours, completely cover with plastic to not to let it dry; next day I apply it on my hair for 1 hour and henna works beatifuly, I mean: no gray hair and I get this orage color. Step two: Next day, I make 65% organic indigo(20 minutes), 20% of Red Raj(pre-24 hours) and 5% of Cassia with distilled water and insted of aloe vera I use flaxseed gel and I leave it for 3 hours on my hair and I don't kwon why but I don't get an uniform color 'coz some parts are dark and some like light brown chocolate. What do you recommend me to do? Thanks for your time.
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT AND PASSION. I AM BIG ON HENNA AND THE 2-STEP PROCESS TO GET BETTER GRAY COVERAGE EVERY 4-6 WEEKS. I ALSO FOLLOW UP WITH HENNA/AMLA GLOSSES AS I AM A BIG SWIMMER AND FREQUENTLY WASH MY HAIR AS THE SWIM CAP DOES NOT TOTALLY PREVENT THE CHLORINATED WATER FROM SEEPING THROUGH AND BOTH TEND TO CAUSE THE COPPERY/BRIGHT ORANGE TO PULL THROUGH. WOULD YOU ADVISE REPEATING THE HENNA & INDIGO MIX TO COVER THE GRAY; AND IF SO, AT WHAT LEVEL OF FREQUENCY? LASTLY, CAN INDIGO BE ADDED TO A HENNA/AMLA GLOSS TREATMENT? AND WHAT WOULD BE THE BENEFIT?
Hello I brought some of your items a year ago and now I’m ready to get this gray out. I need to know what are the measurements you use so I can get this right because it’s going to be my very first time. Thank you so much.
I applied Henna and Indigo on my dress to cover the gray. The gray came out a bright orange. Thanks for your tip about using indigo again. How long do I wait before doing it again?
Hello, and thank you for this video. My hair is light brown and I have greys. I want to use henna to get rid of the greys but I don't want my hair to be black! Should I use henna only without the indigo? Or is it healthier for my hair to use the indigo? I will also be adding in the aloe vera powder for moisture. Is there a brand you recommend or is that something you don't prefer to do?...recommending, that is...
Hello! You can only achieve black color if you a two-step process with henna and indigo. Can you let us know what color would you like to achieve? It's also light brown?
Hello! Using steam or heat can indeed cut down the processing time, typically to about 1.5 to 2 hours. This can be especially helpful if you're looking to speed up the process without compromising on the results. If you decide to try this method, let us know how it works for you!
Hello, I purchased your coloring course. I followed the instructions and my grays were not covered. My question is how soon should I wait to reapply and when I reapply do I have to do the 2 step again.
Hello. You can refer to this guide to help you along the way: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/
Hello. Henna can sometimes fade over time as does any type of dye (weather and elements cause this or heat over time) and it also grows out so it’ll eventually come out on its own fully over time. Henna hair dye lays 4-6 weeks but depends on hair growth. People choose henna hair dye as they do not want to use chemicals so this is a true natural alternative.
Hiiii!! 😀😀😀😀Thank you so much for this video!!! Question for you. What if the 2nd step organic indigo powder that you added salt and water to doesn't turn indigo color before you apply it on the hair??? 😥😭😭😭😭😭 Usually, the indigo powder turns indigo/bluish within 10 mins of mixing the indigo powder, salt and water, however, this time it remained green at the time of application on my hair. I didn't cover the mixture at all with plastic wrap to allow for dye release before applying it on my hair.🌐Will it still turn my hair black? Thank you so much if you can reply. 😊🙏
You can use a henna gloss as a conditioning strengthening treatment but not for coloring with indigo. A gloss is too diluted to get proper color coverage with indigo.
I started using henna/indigo treatment because of Natural85 a few years ago because I trust when she recommends products. I don't mind the amount of time it takes to do this process. However, I stopped using b/c I have STUBBORN grey hair. I mean after doing this long process only to have the greys in the front still be there was soooo frustrating. I am going to try this process of adding indigo to the henna and then doing the indigo treatment. I am really hoping this works.
@@Anonymous1dskjoadi93 so I followed the same steps that henna sooq gave. I mixed the henna like in the morning so I could put it in my hair the night before I go to bed. I mixed henna with black tea and let it sit. Then before I put it in my hair I I added some the indigo and sleep with it. In the morning I wash it out following the steps from henna sooq and apply the indigo and let that sit for about 2 hours. and then rinse with conditioner. I only use henna from either henna sooq because curly proverbz and natural85 recommended them years ago. I know curly proverbz have her own now but I haven't tried it yet. Hope this helps.
Hello I am definitely ready to start using henna my hair is not resistant to coloring the traditional way i guess because i have never used henna should i follow the directions in this video and see how the works for me? Thank you
Hello. Yes, you may do so. We also have a complete guide that can help you in the process of coloring your hair: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/. We hope this helps!
@@cocoanutshea3044 I understood that she said if using a heat cup it will half the time for colouring, but she did not say how long to keep the heat on
Hi Khadija. Learnt a lot from you. I have been using henna to cover my grey hair for awhile now. Lately I did a braid out with hair attachment. I noticed my hair became more brittle after loosening my hair. Left the attachment on my hair for about a month. My hair is naturally soft and a bit curly. Lost quite a bit of hairstrands while loosening it. How do I restore my hair besides using henna.?
When you use Henna and Indigo you need to deep condition with heat after!!!!! If you are a black woman with natural hair 4C … then you need to deep condition with heat for 30-45 minutes after finishing your henna out or your hair will break off. Then wash out your deep conditioner and add a leave in then a cream and last Oil to seal everything in. LCO method. Then put your hair back in your protective style. I do this method and my hair is growing extremely soft and strong..:no breakage…and my new growth has been crazy.
HI, FIRST STEP, I APPLY THE HENNA ON CLEAN HAIR FROM ROOT TO ENDS 45 MINS TO 1 HOUR I THEN RINSE THROUGHLY THE HENNA OUT MY GUEST HAIR. STEP 2 THEN I APPLY THE DARK BROWN OR LIGHT BROWN FROM ROOT TO ENDS FOR 45 MINS TO AND HOUR. I RINSE THROUGHLY AGAIN. THEN DEEP CONDITIONER.APPLIED FOR 15 MINS. I ALWAYS RECEIVE FULL COVERAGES ON EACH OF MY GUEST HEADS OF HAIR. I LOVE HENNA..
@@shanequaaustin8908 I get what you're saying. It seems like a task because theres millions of dollars in advertising to eat trash. It's an uphill obstacle to reprogram. I turn off the tv or lower the volume for commercials. Start w/small steps.
3:20 Wow!!! Only let it sit for 3 to 4 hours for henna powder mix? We usually let it sit for 6 hours before applying it on our hair. We also mix it with warm coffee water and keep it covered while it sits.
Jesus is not the way to haven! Please read the quran in chapter 5 verse 116 And ˹on Judgment Day˺ Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you ever ask the people to worship you and your mother as gods besides Allah?” He will answer, “Glory be to You! How could I ever say what I had no right to say? If I had said such a thing, you would have certainly known it. You know what is ˹hidden˺ within me, but I do not know what is within You. Indeed, You ˹alone˺ are the Knower of all unseen.
Hello. Please make sure to do indigo within 72 hours of henna application (right after or next day included). Indigo does not always work the first time and repeated application(s) may be necessary.
It wastes more time if you are telling people to do the indigo again, for the second time. It doesn't save time as you claim in the video. It's better just to do the 2 step process from the beginning. It saves more product. It saves more time. It saves more money.
Hi, when doing the separate indigo treatment after the henna, do you have to do whole head or just roots. Would that make the colour too patchy? Also, is it safe to use over previously semi-permanent dyed hair? I am definitely going to be using clarifying treatment prior to henna. Love your videos ❤
Thank you for the video. Henna was my first choice to dye my hair for the first time but I didn’t know about the indigo. I stopped using it because it was too red for my liking. Should I use it now even though my hair is chemically dye? Or should I wait ? Please let me know. I want like a medium to light brown color. Thank you again😊
Hello. Our products are safe with chemical dyes and treatments so you wouldn’t have to wait but 1-2 weeks after as long as the hair feels back to normal after the coloring and not feeling dry.
I use pure henna with boiling water and vinegar. Never let it rest. And my grey hair is perfectly red. I let it in my hair for two hours. And then wash it with regular shampoo. Works fine!
that's great that works for you. As you get more grey hair you may need to adjust as boiling water pushes the dye too quickly and it won't be as long lasting. It can change slightly but for now this is great. Happy this works for you!
The higher quality henna and indigo don't require you to do a double even if you have stubborn and thick grey hair. Just do henna alone, and then indigo alone. Works well, if you use high-quality products. I haven't used Henna Sooq, but I use a different brand.
I absolutely enjoy your videos. They are very informative and entertaining!! My question is, I do not have color in my hair but I have some medium blonde highlights. How can I get more blue or violet tones with my henna color if I do a one hour henna treatment? Please assist. Love, Love your channel. 💖
Hello, I used henna with indigo it only color my grays. My natural hair color doesn’t change, my grays turn to an gold which I love ❤️ but my natural dark brown didn’t change to gold. Can you please help in getting all to gold. Thanks
Does mixing henna in an iron bowl help to bring out less red/copper tones and more neutral brown tones when doing a one step henna indigo application trying for medium to dark brown? Like is it worth me searching out an iron bowl ;-)
Hello. When using pure henna powder (body art quality), and herbs for hair, you can use stainless steel bowls. Traditionally, they have used iron bowls, as it has been shown to bring more dye release. We typically use a spatula to mix it. We don’t usually use plastic bowls because they are porous, and the herbs will stain the bowl. The commercial boxes of henna, and henna “colors” that contain other ingredients, herbs, additives, metallic salts, etc..would cause reactions with metal bowls, then 100% pure herbs would.
Someone more than likely already asked this question. It's hard to search comments on UA-cam. After doing the 1 step method, my hair is too wet for me to be able to determine if I got the desired shade of dark brown. It looks like I did; but the next day once the hair has dried, I discover it is still redder than I want. Can I rewet my hair and reapply the indigo to tone down the henna? I'm trying to obtain a very dark brown. Thank you.
Thank you for your amazing videos! I have noticed my hair smells really bad after I have dyed with henna and indigo. How do I remove this bad smell of henna/indigo? Thank you

I've been using their Red Raj for years to cover greys. I like the copper color, so I don't bother with the indigo step. My tip: I brew my henna powder with hibiscus tea as the tea has an acidic pH (which increases dye release) and is itself a beautiful red color. Once developed, I add a few drops of lavender essential oil as this also helps release lawsone. Gorgeous results!

Wow I may try that instead of warm coffee. Thk you
Do you also follow up with indigo as a step 2?
I been using Henna Sooq- Red Raj + Amla powder for years now! I’ve used many other henna lines but Henna Sooq is by far the best! I get the best copper/ brown tones to my grays! I love the products and definitely recommend!
Hello Kadija
I use Henna Sooq - Red Raj and Indigo and follow your 2 step henna dye process to cover my grey hairs and it works! 👍🏾🙏🏾
In Somalia we use left over black coffee, red tea and result are perfect
Salam dear can you help me about my grey hair...? I am a girl
@@SAkbar-fb4jvAre you a girl, really? I don't think the detail was necessary. Lol
I am just the happiest person here! Just started using your product and have stubborn grays! But I got discouraged because of the way I was doing the application. This is a right on time! Thank you 🙏🏾
When i used to dye my hair darker i used henna first on my roots and then the henna and indygo mixture. It helped a lot cover all greys and colour was more intense 😊
What ratio of henna and indigo?
What ratio?
First just henna and then half henna half indigo. More henna means more reddisch. More indigo will make it darker. It's up to you how dark you want it to be
Does henna harm your roots or slow hair growth
?😊
@savinggift158 no it doesnt. Its opposit. Henna makes hair thicker and healthier 😊
I find that if I use a 50:50 henna:indigo ratio for the first application, my greys do not get covered. I typically need almost 100% henna for the first application. Then on the second application, I do 75:25 indigo: henna to achieve a darker brown tone.
Your second mix of 75:25 mostly indigo ratio is what do. I have been doing this as my sole step. Recently, I have had to reapply the is within a week. I've thought that indigo makes the dark color. Do you apply your second application the same day or wait a few days? Seems Khadija says the second application should be only indigo. I think I will try this soon. I'd appreciate your feedback. Thank you
i am going to try this my next time...cos these grays are super super stubborn
I agree tht the 50:50 did nothing for me. I got a couple of copper strays then nothing. I now did Red Raj alone then after rinsing that out, added just indigo over that and frankly its like the indigo didnt take at all and i left that on overnight
@@foxlola1 hey, did you get round to trying this?
Make sure you don't make the indigo until you're ready to use it. In the video she makes them at the same time but you need to let the henna sit for 3 or 4 hours BEFORE mixing the indigo. Once you mix that into the henna use it IMMEDIATELY for the indigo to work.
Finally someone who knows what they're talking about. Thank you so much. All others make it sound too easy.
Thank you for your kind words!
Assalamu alaikum my respected sister I was told a little yogurt into my hennah is very good. I'm so happy I found your channel 👍
Thank you so much to share. I’m 69 I never dye my hair before ,because scare from químicos But now white starts come out , I will do that Henna. ❤
Welcome and thank you :) Let us know how it goes.
You got this!
I just started watching your channel. Maybe everyone is different but I mix henna with apple cider vinegar and peppermint, lavender and rosemary essential oils and get perfect coverage of my grey hair the first time. My hair does grow back really fast but I still only do it once a month and my hair loves it.
Hi Kim, If I understand correctly, you mix all 4 together with the henna (apple cider vinegar, peppermint, lavender, and rosemary)? Please inform. Thanks
@@carolegray7980 Hi Carole! Yes ma’am! I mix henna with apple cider vinegar first and once it looks like a paste, I add in my lavender, peppermint and rosemary essential oil and let it sit overnight. Maybe you don’t have to let it sit overnight but I’d rather be safe than sorry 😆 I never mix it with water unless doing a tea when I just want to strengthen my strands. When I want coverage for my greys, I mix with apple cider vinegar
@@kimmurphy9094 Thanks for the info. I want to try your recipe for my first time. I just wanted to ask if you leave the mix in the fridge overnight or out on the counter. Thank you and have a blessed day!
So you don’t use indigo? Which color your grey hair turns out?
@@bettyannwashington2367 Hi! I just leave it out overnight. I make enough to cover my hair at that time so I don’t have to put it in the fridge once I’m done.
This one of the dopest channels ever. Much appreciated!!
I first use only henna to cover my hair for 3 hours. Then, after washing it off, I use indigo for another 3 hours. This gets me fantastic coverage and a black color of hair.
We're glad that it worked out!
Great info, thank you so much for sharing. I'd like to add that I used to have very dry scalp and hair after henna treatment. I could see and feel that my hair is super healthy when wet. Unfortunately once I dry it up, my scalp would itch and hair became crunchy until recently when I discovered glycerine oil . I add it to the treatment during henna application and every other day to keep my hair and scalp well moisturised. I couldn't be happier!
Ps: Glycerine oil is a little sticky but keeps the hair so moisturised and soft. I'm not sure many people would appreciate the stickiness lol. Personally I don't mind because my hair is pretty short :-)
Do you leave it on or do you apply and rinse off after a while? Does it make hair look oily?
I use this method for root touch ups once a month but I only leave it on for 2 hrs. Still works great.
tried this method & it's first time I've got 100% coverage of my stubborn grey hairs mainly along front hairline which is obvious more noticeable. I've been using henna/Indigo trying to achieve black, in my light brown hair with 10% grey's. doing just one henna/Indigo application with higher % of Indigo will achieve dark brown hair fairly well (albeit greys tend to fade quickly)
But if you want pitch black, the key to achieving this -main difference from other methods - is DOING as hennasooq recommends, the henna/Indigo mix first then 100% Indigo IMMEDIATELY after rinsing out the combination henna/Indigo. I'm very glad I found this tutorial & now have a reliable source of information for henna related issues. Thankz heaps hennsooq
Welcome. Glad it worked out!
I am so happy to have discovered your henna videos because I have been looking for a natural product for a while now and never really thought about using henna because I thought it only came in black since my natural hair is brown which also compliments my complexion.
Recently I coloured my hair in copper penny, a semi permanent which I did three weeks ago and the roots have faded already. So now I know I can get shade to blend, I am going to look for it and follow your directions. Thanks to Kimberly and Jacqueline for sharing their ideas on what they use to get the red and copper colour.
Thank you.
Hi Khadijah. Can you do a video on touching up the grey roots only? Also, I use a few different oils in my hair. Does this make the color fade quicker, and which oils are best to use to prevent fading before the 4 to 6 weeks of the next henna treatment? Thanks for this video 👍🏽. I will do the 2 step treatment on my next henna day.
Would like to know the answer to this too! @hennasooq
I got my Henna and Indigo today. I can't wait to try it! I have really stubborn gray hair at the roots.
Yasss ❤️
Luv luv luv your henna products and indigo and although I have been using them for two years I learned something new, I think my consistency is a bit to thin😬 The next time I apply it I will use less water & will do the 2-Step process to help tone down some of my coppery hues. Thank you for continuing to education us 💝
Thank you soo much for the tip of 2nd application with Indigo!
You're so welcome!
You have saved my life😁 I am allergic to ppd . my hair look like a snowball and I want my black hair back. thank you💕
I'm so glad I saw your comment. I am also allergic to ppd and so afraid to use anything to dye my hair.
Did u manage to get pure black please ?? ❤❤❤
I do the 1 step process to color my greys. I do the henna and I’m loving the red color Red Raj gives my greys 😀
I tried doing a second indigo after the first process😲😲😲😲😲 OMG it works. The greys are covered and it looks normal not having 2 different colors, I did not know that can be possible thank you Khadija😁 BTW always wear gloves, I didn't wear one now my hands look funny😂
Welcome! Yass gloves is a must.
Thank you for your detailed video. I am so glad I found you.
Welcome!
In my experience, I have used henna right after mixing and it worked. The same happened with indigo. I tried also the henna leftover over a week and it worked perfectly on grey hair
What?? Really?? 😃
@@traceylennon1204
Shampoo your hair and try it
Same for me. I mix henna then use it immediately, a day before I use it, a week before I use it & I've froze it for a week took it out of the freezer & still let it sit for a week & it still worked fine to cover my greys in every instance.
Same here. I put my left over in the freezer.
I purchased my starter products from Henna Sooq! Doing my formula experimentation now with shed hair from my wash days. Just have two more formulas to try and I'm back to henna again! Cant wait!😁
Thank you! Let us know how it'll turn out.
So I used henna for 4 hours and it was too copper. But as soon as I rinsed it out, I used the same leftover henna batch on the front part of my hair line for 30 extra minutes. Rinsed out then used indigo for two hours, On the parts where I did the second (30 min) henna, my hair is still dark. .. everything else, henna and indigo washed out and became very light. This was also the first time I did NOT use heat…and also the first time the color faded…So heat cap seems to be key for grey to black in my experience.
My hair came out a beautiful brown, I've gotten so many compliments and it did cover my grays except for the edges, otherwise, it was shiny and so pretty!
Oh wow! 🤩
How did you achieve the brown color if you don't mind my asking?
I am glad that this can be separated and frozen, because that's a lot for my short hair. Looking forward to this recipe for dyeing my hair brown.
Thank you.
I use 200g of henna powder (only henna, i like the red tone), 500ml of water (normal temperature) and 50ml of vinager (you have a better dye release when the environment is more acid). Let it rest for 4 to 8 hours, depending on the weather temperature, away from light (cause light degrades the pigment) and coverd (cause oxygen also degrades the pigment). Then, leave it in my head for 3 to 4 hours. Always works very nicely. Never goes away, never fades.
I didnt realize that I could cover grays in one step! I do two steps henna for an hour and indigo for an hour and it looks perfectly black.
Hi, did you ever do the 1 step process to cover the grey??? That doesn't work!!! That's why Khadia said in the video that the 2nd indigo application is necessary for covering grey hair.
@@jellybellyfun3288 Yes, after thinking about it, I try it years ago and you’re right it didn’t work. But the two step for one hour each is what also worked for me rather than three hours for henna and three hours for indigo.
@@MoonLightOnWater1 Thanks for your reply! Do you have really thick hair?
@@jellybellyfun3288 I have 4a texture and medium density hair…..I don’t see it as thick, cause it was much thicker years ago, but other’s see it as “full” and think my natural texture is 3b/c, but it isn’t.
@@MoonLightOnWater1 ok thank you
I bought a dye with henna indigo and cassia. Cassia is used for making the color last longer . It will be the first time I will dye my hair with henna. I have used chemical dye a few months ago. I will add some neem amla and aloe powder. I hope it goes well!!!😂
Yaass! Let us know how this will turn out 🫶
@@HennaSooq thank you so much!
How did it come out pls ??
Hi Kadija.. Do you not recommend adding amla to the hennna because I would like to get a medium brown with VERY limited copper red tones
Yes...if u use a iron bowl it will enhance the brown color.. infact when i mix amla my hand also gets stained
This is my first time To watch this channel thank you for sharing I learn a lot I always mix the powder together and I’m waiting for two hours and applying on my hair but today I learned a lot thank you so much again for sharing
Awesome instructional video. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video. I am finally ready to make the switch to Henna!
Hello Khadija, I have to say that I love your products, they feel so nice on my hair, they blend so easily and I love the shine on my hair but, I've been struggling a little bit with my mixing with indigo. Let me tell you that I have to make two steps. First step: I just use Red Raj (my favorite) with hot distilled water and I leave it for 24 hours, completely cover with plastic to not to let it dry; next day I apply it on my hair for 1 hour and henna works beatifuly, I mean: no gray hair and I get this orage color. Step two: Next day, I make 65% organic indigo(20 minutes), 20% of Red Raj(pre-24 hours) and 5% of Cassia with distilled water and insted of aloe vera I use flaxseed gel and I leave it for 3 hours on my hair and I don't kwon why but I don't get an uniform color 'coz some parts are dark and some like light brown chocolate. What do you recommend me to do? Thanks for your time.
my roots are always burnt orange or light brown..Another great video Hun
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT AND PASSION. I AM BIG ON HENNA AND THE 2-STEP PROCESS TO GET BETTER GRAY COVERAGE EVERY 4-6 WEEKS. I ALSO FOLLOW UP WITH HENNA/AMLA GLOSSES AS I AM A BIG SWIMMER AND FREQUENTLY WASH MY HAIR AS THE SWIM CAP DOES NOT TOTALLY PREVENT THE CHLORINATED WATER FROM SEEPING THROUGH AND BOTH TEND TO CAUSE THE COPPERY/BRIGHT ORANGE TO PULL THROUGH. WOULD YOU ADVISE REPEATING THE HENNA & INDIGO MIX TO COVER THE GRAY; AND IF SO, AT WHAT LEVEL OF FREQUENCY? LASTLY, CAN INDIGO BE ADDED TO A HENNA/AMLA GLOSS TREATMENT? AND WHAT WOULD BE THE BENEFIT?

You go girl,very informative.
Hello I brought some of your items a year ago and now I’m ready to get this gray out. I need to know what are the measurements you use so I can get this right because it’s going to be my very first time.
Thank you so much.
Ok thanks, I finally get it!!! I think it will work this time! Let’s see👀👀👀👍🏽💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I got the BEST gradient style color this weekend with a mix of Moroccan henna, cassia and indigo. It looks like three stages of brown. Just gorgeous.
Please, what amount did you use for each? And did the mixture colour all your greys perfectly? Thanks.
Greetings, sounds great for the kick off od Memorial weekend. It probably got richer with sunlight
Yep mine is definitely orange. Unintentional but….I like it!
Hi! How long after using a protein treatment can i use henna treatment
You are really amazing!! So helpful . Thank you so much.
Darn. I missed the live!! I've waited all week and missed it. Smh
I applied Henna and Indigo on my dress to cover the gray. The gray came out a bright orange. Thanks for your tip about using indigo again. How long do I wait before doing it again?
Hello. You mean recoloring your hair with henna and indigo?
Thank you so much for this video.
Hello, and thank you for this video. My hair is light brown and I have greys. I want to use henna to get rid of the greys but I don't want my hair to be black! Should I use henna only without the indigo? Or is it healthier for my hair to use the indigo? I will also be adding in the aloe vera powder for moisture. Is there a brand you recommend or is that something you don't prefer to do?...recommending, that is...
Hello! You can only achieve black color if you a two-step process with henna and indigo. Can you let us know what color would you like to achieve? It's also light brown?
If it turns yellow you probably let it sit past the 3 or 4 hours..don't let it release overnight or make it too watery!!
Janaki amma is inspiring so many to sing like her, but there will never be another like her
Grey hair is disobedient and disrespectful! Periodttttt
🤣 FACTS!
Like a stubborn, rebellious, adolescent! 😆😆😆
😀😁😂😂
I don't even have grey. I have white😞
Awesome video!!! How long should the hair be steamed, under a hair steamer to reduce the time?
Hello! Using steam or heat can indeed cut down the processing time, typically to about 1.5 to 2 hours. This can be especially helpful if you're looking to speed up the process without compromising on the results. If you decide to try this method, let us know how it works for you!
Thanks for the video I have never done my grays twice I will do that the next time😉
Hello, I purchased your coloring course. I followed the instructions and my grays were not covered. My question is how soon should I wait to reapply and when I reapply do I have to do the 2 step again.
Hello. You can refer to this guide to help you along the way: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/
Thank you my dear with the information,l have stubborn grey hair l will try that
How long does this coloring process last?
It depends on how often you wash your hair and how fast your hair grows. This will determine how long it lasts.
Hello. Henna can sometimes fade over time as does any type of dye (weather and elements cause this or heat over time) and it also grows out so it’ll eventually come out on its own fully over time. Henna hair dye lays 4-6 weeks but depends on hair growth. People choose henna hair dye as they do not want to use chemicals so this is a true natural alternative.
Thank you sister, I will try your suggestion tomorrow and see what happens,
Hi Khadija, thank you for sharing your expertise with us! Can you use henna and indigo on keratin/brazilian treated hair?
Hello. Yes, you may do so since our products are safe with chemicals.
Hiiii!! 😀😀😀😀Thank you so much for this video!!! Question for you. What if the 2nd step organic indigo powder that you added salt and water to doesn't turn indigo color before you apply it on the hair??? 😥😭😭😭😭😭 Usually, the indigo powder turns indigo/bluish within 10 mins of mixing the indigo powder, salt and water, however, this time it remained green at the time of application on my hair. I didn't cover the mixture at all with plastic wrap to allow for dye release before applying it on my hair.🌐Will it still turn my hair black? Thank you so much if you can reply. 😊🙏
Hello! Is it possible to see some actual results?
Hi, can I use henna+gloss hair mask for this recipe? Is it ok to mix this mask with indigo? Thanks.
You can use a henna gloss as a conditioning strengthening treatment but not for coloring with indigo. A gloss is too diluted to get proper color coverage with indigo.
@ Thank you so much.
Put Black Strap Molasses on your hair. It will make grey hair go away. Because of the copper.
TY for sharing, I didn't know that...
Can you pls give a little instruction on applying the molasses.
I started using henna/indigo treatment because of Natural85 a few years ago because I trust when she recommends products. I don't mind the amount of time it takes to do this process. However, I stopped using b/c I have STUBBORN grey hair. I mean after doing this long process only to have the greys in the front still be there was soooo frustrating. I am going to try this process of adding indigo to the henna and then doing the indigo treatment. I am really hoping this works.
Did it work ?
@@Anonymous1dskjoadi93 hi, yes thankfully it did work.
@ can you explain step by step how you do it and which products you use. I’m struggling 😔
@@Anonymous1dskjoadi93 so I followed the same steps that henna sooq gave. I mixed the henna like in the morning so I could put it in my hair the night before I go to bed. I mixed henna with black tea and let it sit.
Then before I put it in my hair I I added some the indigo and sleep with it.
In the morning I wash it out following the steps from henna sooq and apply the indigo and let that sit for about 2 hours.
and then rinse with conditioner.
I only use henna from either henna sooq because curly proverbz and natural85 recommended them years ago. I know curly proverbz have her own now but I haven't tried it yet.
Hope this helps.
Hi again. My question is: How much indigo do you use for bra strap length and burgundy tones?
Hello. For bra strap length, 150-175 grams.

How long to keep the hair under the heat cup?
I believe she said half the time with heat or steam so 2 hours.
@@cocoanutshea3044 I understood that she said if using a heat cup it will half the time for colouring, but she did not say how long to keep the heat on
Hello. About 1.5 to 2 hours with heat.
Hi Khadija. Learnt a lot from you. I have been using henna to cover my grey hair for awhile now. Lately I did a braid out with hair attachment. I noticed my hair became more brittle after loosening my hair. Left the attachment on my hair for about a month. My hair is naturally soft and a bit curly. Lost quite a bit of hairstrands while loosening it. How do I restore my hair besides using henna.?
When you use Henna and Indigo you need to deep condition with heat after!!!!!
If you are a black woman with natural hair 4C … then you need to deep condition with heat for 30-45 minutes after finishing your henna out or your hair will break off. Then wash out your deep conditioner and add a leave in then a cream and last Oil to seal everything in. LCO method. Then put your hair back in your protective style.
I do this method and my hair is growing extremely soft and strong..:no breakage…and my new growth has been crazy.
Is there any other way you can darken grey hair if you don't have indigo powder?
HI,
FIRST STEP,
I APPLY THE HENNA ON CLEAN HAIR FROM ROOT TO ENDS 45 MINS TO 1 HOUR I THEN RINSE THROUGHLY THE HENNA OUT MY GUEST HAIR. STEP 2 THEN I APPLY THE DARK BROWN OR LIGHT BROWN FROM ROOT TO ENDS FOR 45 MINS TO AND HOUR. I RINSE THROUGHLY AGAIN. THEN DEEP CONDITIONER.APPLIED FOR 15 MINS. I ALWAYS RECEIVE FULL COVERAGES ON EACH OF MY GUEST HEADS OF HAIR. I LOVE HENNA..
oohh wonderful! So glad to hear you found a good recipe and steps :)
Eating more nutrient rich foods and vitamins, avoiding unprocessed will ward off grays to color and benefits the whole body.
People don't want to take care of themselves.
@@shanequaaustin8908 I get what you're saying. It seems like a task because theres millions of dollars in advertising to eat trash. It's an uphill obstacle to reprogram. I turn off the tv or lower the volume for commercials. Start w/small steps.
3:20 Wow!!! Only let it sit for 3 to 4 hours for henna powder mix? We usually let it sit for 6 hours before applying it on our hair. We also mix it with warm coffee water and keep it covered while it sits.
Grey hair is aweful to deal with.

How long I have to wait for my second step of indigo for dark color?
I definitely want to try.
You explain it very well😊
Hello. Please make sure to do indigo within 72 hours of henna application (right after or next day included). Indigo does not always work the first time and repeated application(s) may be necessary.
It wastes more time if you are telling people to do the indigo again, for the second time. It doesn't save time as you claim in the video. It's better just to do the 2 step process from the beginning. It saves more product. It saves more time. It saves more money.
Hi, when doing the separate indigo treatment after the henna, do you have to do whole head or just roots. Would that make the colour too patchy? Also, is it safe to use over previously semi-permanent dyed hair? I am definitely going to be using clarifying treatment prior to henna. Love your videos ❤
Hello. You can do the whole head. With our products, yes, it is safe to do so.
FyI: Coarse not course
Thank you for the video. Henna was my first choice to dye my hair for the first time but I didn’t know about the indigo. I stopped using it because it was too red for my liking. Should I use it now even though my hair is chemically dye? Or should I wait ? Please let me know. I want like a medium to light brown color. Thank you again😊
Hello. Our products are safe with chemical dyes and treatments so you wouldn’t have to wait but 1-2 weeks after as long as the hair feels back to normal after the coloring and not feeling dry.
OMG! I’m hopeful that this will get rid of my disrespectful Grey hairs. Can I use this if I have a perm relaxer in my hair?
Yes, you can! Our products are safe with perm relaxer.
I use pure henna with boiling water and vinegar. Never let it rest. And my grey hair is perfectly red. I let it in my hair for two hours. And then wash it with regular shampoo. Works fine!
that's great that works for you. As you get more grey hair you may need to adjust as boiling water pushes the dye too quickly and it won't be as long lasting. It can change slightly but for now this is great. Happy this works for you!
The higher quality henna and indigo don't require you to do a double even if you have stubborn and thick grey hair. Just do henna alone, and then indigo alone. Works well, if you use high-quality products. I haven't used Henna Sooq, but I use a different brand.
Thanks for the tips!
I absolutely enjoy your videos. They are very informative and entertaining!! My question is, I do not have color in my hair but I have some medium blonde highlights. How can I get more blue or violet tones with my henna color if I do a one hour henna treatment? Please assist. Love, Love your channel. 💖
Henna only gives a red or orange color to the hair. It is not possible to get blue or violet using henna.
Hello,
I used henna with indigo it only color my grays. My natural hair color doesn’t change, my grays turn to an gold which I love ❤️ but my natural dark brown didn’t change to gold. Can you please help in getting all to gold.
Thanks
Thank you i just got the henna
Hello.. This is a truly great video.. Is it possible to use regular water too?
Hello. Yes, you can but make sure that it's warm to hot.
Does mixing henna in an iron bowl help to bring out less red/copper tones and more neutral brown tones when doing a one step henna indigo application trying for medium to dark brown? Like is it worth me searching out an iron bowl ;-)
Hello. When using pure henna powder (body art quality), and herbs for hair, you can use stainless steel bowls. Traditionally, they have used iron bowls, as it has been shown to bring more dye release. We typically use a spatula to mix it. We don’t usually use plastic bowls because they are porous, and the herbs will stain the bowl. The commercial boxes of henna, and henna “colors” that contain other ingredients, herbs, additives, metallic salts, etc..would cause reactions with metal bowls, then 100% pure herbs would.
Someone more than likely already asked this question. It's hard to search comments on UA-cam. After doing the 1 step method, my hair is too wet for me to be able to determine if I got the desired shade of dark brown. It looks like I did; but the next day once the hair has dried, I discover it is still redder than I want. Can I rewet my hair and reapply the indigo to tone down the henna? I'm trying to obtain a very dark brown.
Thank you.
Yes, that is what I do
Thank you for your amazing videos! I have noticed my hair smells really bad after I have dyed with henna and indigo. How do I remove this bad smell of henna/indigo?
Thank you
You can add essential oils to the henna and indigo mixtures to avoid the smell.
