@@cd3881 I just asked her a few questions about if she ever heard about henna and it's use on hair and then she coped an attitude. It kinda surprised me because I went to her for about 5 years.

It may not be professional style but it works, I'm happy, and I save money. Just wished I did it many years sooner.
The same thing happened to me. They repeat the same things over and over like a robot. Henna has metallic salts, henna will make your hair go up in flames. Forget trying to educate them. I tried. I believe there was a farm or two in Kenya that had metals in their soil so that henna had some metal in it but I know that’s not even what they are talking about. Years ago henna was sold mixed with chemical dye. Some companies might still do that. Most people know better then do buy that. I hope. Fun fact Henna brows are popular now in salons but it’s not pure henna. It’s henna mixed with chemical dyes. Make it make sense as they say. The only thing I agree is it’s hard to lighten hair again but not impossible. I’ve done it with bleach highlights. Anyway peace.
I live in Italy and where I’m from henna is not common but people tend to appreciate the use of it and hairdressers don’t advise against it. At least it never happened to me. My hairdresser always compliments my hair colour and her apprentice always asks about it, like she’s genuinely curious, and personally I love that
I'd love to see henna salons pop up all over the world! Imagine a place where someone can spend the day.. have a custom recipe formulated based on personal desires, help with application, wrapping, heating, spotting drips😄. We could drink tea, listen to music, nosh on healthy tid bits, read, or knit.
@@Qatariix really?? I would love to have something like that in Italy! I have been colouring my hair with henna for a year now and all I know about it comes from blogs or insta pages generally written by other Italian/white girls, I would love to receive valuable information from the people who really know about henna because it’s part of their culture, and also have fun with them at a salon!
I heard this hairstylist tell someone in her chat that Henna is something she would never mess with because Henna does something to your hair that there is no way to control what it does. I could do nothing but laugh at what she said. My hair has improved so much since I started using Henna and other herbs. I could tell that she never really looked into Henna.
I think you are right, if you are somewhat knowledgeable about henna or other herbs you are unlikely to get unpredictable results. Depending on what you put in your mix and how you treat it you can get many different colours and usually people know what they’re doing
Thanks for the video. I've been using henna for over 10 years now, and I would never stop using it! My hair has never been more healthy and strong since using henna. I now mix it with indigo to give my hair a darker color. I can't wait for your Columbia, MD store to open!
I think the biggest and most valuable thing you are doing is educating us. I'm thankful for you and your team and the knowledge you provide about the ayurevedic methods abd herbs. My journey started a few months ago and I can tell the difference in the strength of my hair and less hair fall of course. I was on an Instagram live watching a hair stylist talk about something else and someone mentioned using henna and she said henna will make your hair water resistant. There were about 200+ people on this live. Before I could get my fingers ready to type, several people jumped in and stated that was incorrect info. Anywho, thanks for sharing! I'm thankful for the info!
I use henna, but not for the color, I do it for the strengthening properties.. I only have a few grays around the edges so the henna just gives those grays a little brownish tint. I am interested in the red raj tho.
I’ve been using Light Mountain Naturals since 2019 and just placed my order for my first HennaSooq henna in RedRaj!! I’m so excited!! I have been watching your videos for some time now and have learned so so much about henna and the best ways to use it for minimum damage, maximum benefits (no more overnights! Lol) I can not wait to see the results and finally try your products. Thank you so much for all you do for the henna community ♥️
I love your videos. I learned a lot from this video. I had went back to using commercial dye 2 months ago and it was making my hair come out and get thin. The only reason I used commercial dye was it took way less time to dye my hair than Henna. Now I am going back to using henna and indigo to dye my grey roots. I will never use commercial dye again. My hair was way more healthy using henna and indigo. I will just have to make time and do it.
Hey gorgeous lady. While i don't do henna i love my grays i do love the strengthening and conditioning aspect of healthy natural haircare that you provide.
Doing a hot oil treatment prior to my henna application has helped me decrease that dry feeling. But my hair hardly sheds, has gotten thicker, longer. Henna gloss weekly, one potent henna monthly.
Hi can I ask you something about the henna gloss you do? Like what do you put in your mix and how long do you leave it on? I would like to try but I don’t really know where to start. Thank you so much🙏🏻❤️
Thank you Beautiful for sharing this message & love with us. I've learned the difference between what is taught in cosmetology & the henna world being I've graduated from cosmetology school. I am wide awake now💝🌈 Henna World is the journey to my hair growth journey🦋💛🌴☀️Hope Henna Beauty Shops becomes very known.
I just colored my hair and a streak of my daughters hair with henna saturday. It was a fun 1st time experience😂. Turned out great, used your products. I will say that everything you said, was true. It might be in my head, but i dont know where my split ends went? My understanding is henns helps bind the hair molecules together so I'm pretty impressed.
Thank you for all your informative, great videos! I recently discovered your channel and planning to start using henna on my hair :) I have a request… can you make a video with hair samples dyed with henna, cassia, indigo (preferably with different combinations too)? I plan to do that with my own hair before doing my entire hair (I self-cut my hair so I can use trimmed hair for tests), but a video like that would be really interesting and useful for those who are considering a transition to natural hair coloring I think
Hi! I think she did upload a video where she did swatches, maybe if you dig a little you will find it! Anyway so glad you want to try, I have so much fun everytime I henna my hair, it’s like having a spa day at home!❤️
Hello. You can use Rajasthani henna alone; it covers grey and has a burgundy tone. If you have a high percentage of grey hair, you may want to add indigo to ensure it doesn’t get too bright.
I have already started using henna and indigo according to your instructions and I am very satisfied. But from time to time I come across texts that say that contrary to our belief that henna helps our hair to be stronger, thicker and healthier, Indian women, whose hair is too thick and strong, actually, use henna to make their hair thinner, weaker and more manageable. They say that hair tends to fall out when we use henna. This really sounds bizzare, but still, this is the right place to ask and share this concern of mine. Thaks a lot!
What you mix henna and indigo in does matter I was using a plastic bowl and the dye didn’t change colors I used the ceramic tonight and it change the color that it was suppose to thanks
ive been using henna from shear butter in uk for years but they changed there henna recently and i think now my hair is starting to fall out is because of it
Please tell somebody who read this ,all my hair in front is gray.( around the forehead )other part is black .when i apply henna my gray hair gets brown black remains as it is.i love to colour all my hair brown .im allergic to chemical dye .doctor advice me go into henna .
Hi, I stopped dyeing my hair 8 years ago because of my allergic reactions. I would itch and get sores. My lymph nodes also would get hit and hard. I want to try henna but I’m terrified of an reaction. Do many people have reactions to henna? Thanks
Khadijah, sis, please help me with this misconception... I have been using henna and indigo and Amla for years on my hair. Every time I do a color application on my hair, I try to color my eyebrows. It never works.! Why? I am trying to get my eyebrows black. I am trying to fill-in sparse areas. I am trying to do what these fake henna eyebrow products on the market do. I was wondering if I could use jagua- like for body art and draw in my eyebrows that way.? Help me. thank you. love you.
I watched other UA-cam videos with people making brown hair dye with coffee and henna mixed together. When it comes to showing henna in different colours, I also found it confusing.
Hello. yes, you may do so. 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/
Hi, I am an avid henna user (henna+indigo) mix for my fiery red hair. I saw somewhere that you can smoke(dry fry) indigo in an iron skillet to a black sort of burnt black - that it deepens the shade of black from indigo. Is this true? I would like to deepen the red from my mix just a tard.
Hey Clm - I'm not 100% sure but I think she said should leave it more than 4 hours, cause it would dry your hair out too much. That's what I remember. But you should double check what I'm saying.
Hello. No unfortunately it cannot but you can freeze it and use it to reapply at a later time and the dye will be good when kept frozen. Overnight it’ll demise.
Hello. All of our hair washes, and shampoo bars are color safe with the exception of our Soapnut ones as they are clarifying and should be used before coloring. You can use our cowash after rinsing off the henna mixture in your hair: hennasooq.com/collections/natural-hair-conditioner
Ok sister please tell me islamic perspective, I apply henna and after washing it I apply indigo and that turns my grey hair black, but there is a hadith that we can not color hair black but any other color is fine. Now please tell me in reference to authentic hadith if it is halal?
But there are people who naturally have very dark hair. And if black was your original hair color, before it turned grey, aren’t you just returning to your natural color?
@@maapeacecouture Back in the day old men would dye their hair black to marry younger women. That's wrong in Islam, to lie in that way. If you're honest about it, its fine.
rates start at $85 and up depending on hair thickness as well. When we do a hair consultation we better quote as it varies a lot on length and thickness/amount of hair.
Hello. No it's not a myth. Every henna powder has it’s own dye release time. This is the needed amount of time that your henna needs to sit to reach ideal ready to use.
I bought something called “neutral Henna (cassia)” what the difference between Cassia and Henna. I got it because my natural color hair is auburn and brown (I am black with freckles). I don’t want more color. And-Yes, I want you to do my hair in Columbia MD! 🙂
Cassia is sometimes called neutral Henna. But its not really henna. I think the reason in some circles its called neutral henna is because it's an ayuervedic herb that looks like Henna in it's powdered form. Cassia is not the only ayuervedic herb when powder looks like henna. The difference is that Henna not only strength hair but noticeably colors your hair, whereas Cassia does also strengthen, encourage growth similar henna but it does not color the hair (hence the "neutral henna" nickname. Anyway, that's way I understand it to be. I welcome someone to correct me if I'm wrong. Hope this helps.
