  • This video is a tutorial of how I mix and apply henna and indigo to cover my gray. I apply the henna and indigo in one step, and have utilized this process for more than a year, with great results. In addition to coloring the gray, henna's benefits include healthier, strengthened hair. I have not seen any loosening of my curl pattern.
    I purchase my henna and indigo from this site: www.butters-n-bars.com/hennapl...
    Henna used in the video: Organic Rajisthani Henna (BAQ)

    Here's a tip: when applying henna start with a small section in the middle of your head and put that into a Bantu knot then take sections around that and work your way outwards and keep wrapping them around that first middle section. You'll prevent mess on your clothes and skin and makes for an easier application 🙂 this is the only way I apply my henna now

    You blessed me with this video. I was scared but tried it and it changed everything!
    You’re the first one that I saw 👀 doing this in one step. Now everyone is saying one step.
    Thank you!😊

    This video was exactly what I was looking for. I used pure henna and dark brown henna for the first time last week to lighten my hair and for gray coverage. The results were less than stellar with the gray coverage because the pure henna turned my gray strands copper. After watching this, I'll add lemon juice to the indigo to bind the color. Thank you for this video.

    I have been using Henna coloring for a long time now & i am pretty happy about it. because the color last a lot longer than the hair coloring i buy at store. It’s very safe & a natural way to use it! I love it!❤️

    Great video! I am a 65 year old Italian male who hennas! I like mixing them, equal parts the indigo and henna, it gives a nice dark reddish brown that goes with olive and darker skin tones! Curly Nikki has a few recipes for refreshing henna between coloring that works great for me!

    @tabassumiman5531 6 років тому +4

    Thank you Sister for your perfect instructions! It is a one of kind video, that you did the henna and indigo on yourself, so that we can the how it actually looks when finished. Now I understand and will give it a try. Normally I use the pre-made Brown Henna, but it is not always easy to find and they say it has chemicals in it. I was afraid to do this, because I don't want the orange-red colour.

  • @SMIJX2

    I have henna on my hair as I type, and I thought I'd share some observations / tips . . This is the 3rd time I've tried a henna application. During the previous times I always wondered why my henna paste did not come out a pretty brown color like KimCashTate's or Whitney's. . .I followed directions step by step, using a glass bowl, covering with plastic wrap, etc - -and lettin sit the prerequisite hours. . THIS time, I decided to develop the henna paste in a glass canning jar, the type with the metal clamp, to make extra sure air did not reach the paste, and it made ALL THE DIFFERENCE . . The next morning, the paste developed into a beautiful brown, and the orange tint was much more evident. . If you don't have those type of jars, a plastic zip lock (the double ziplock kind) will work equally as well I'm sure. .

    • @pramyabala
      @pramyabala 4 роки тому +16

      Haha actually henna can be mixed in any vessel. In India where most of the commercial henna powders come from, we don't use glass. Oxidization or air won't affect dye expression. We never cover our henna mix, we mix it in any stainless steel or iron vessel or even plastic. You just have to keep it warm enough.

    • @smokebear7637

      🤔. I use (nb)Ziploc bags from start to finish cause im LAZY(1 cap of 🍎 acv added to body art quality w/fine sift and high dye content henna and 1 .oz of honey) 😁 it works tho.
      Overnight freeze and 🍎 acv works great for dye release. 💚use on dirty hair. Ty for the 📹

  • @colleenzoebisch6006

    I use amla with the henna as the acidic component. I also took a plastic dye bottle and cut the tip to a wider opening to apply. Worked great. Thanks for your video!

    • @HoneeyBee3
      @HoneeyBee3 5 років тому

      I know this comment is a year old but hopefully you still respond. Does the amla and indigo give good results?? I dont want to use henna because it turns the hair brownish red. I wish I could use the indigo powder alone. I'm trying to get as close to jet black naturally without using box dye.

Mixing henna and indigo is a much better way and more natural. By the way, I love your video and I love your hair! 😊

    Years ago I used henna but stopped when the red turned orange. Just today I decided to check it out again and now they use indigo with the henna so I'm off to the beauty supply to get some. Tired of using dye. Think it gets absorbed in our body and isn't healthy so hope Henna works great. You put it on your head like I used to...gloves, grab some and smoosh...looks wonderful and your hair is gorgeous.

      Don’t waste your money on indigo if you don’t want black hair. Just use the henna and mix it with tea and definitely wash your hair before, never use henna or indigo on dirty hair the colour want stick the same. Take it from someone who’s whole country ( Sudan) use this methods for centuries. We also grow some of the best henna in the world.

    I tried this method for the 1st time today. I brewed black & cardamon tea, about 8 oz of tea water, & lemon juice along with a hint of Alma hair oil so it's not so drying to my hair. I did mix them both in the same bowl at the same time. I only let it sit for about 1 hr. I washed my hair as I always have with prior henna application, let it kinda air dry.....this way it's not as messy when the setting takes place due to the wet hair. I applied the plastic wrap & caps...... let it sit on my hair for about 2.5 hrs.
    I love the results so much better than henna alone. I do like the red tones from just the henna, but the indigo tones it down a bit. All my grey is in the front hairline, so the red will not be so shocking & look so wild when the grey starts to grow back....I hope......lol
    I will see the final result in about 48 hrs.
    I'm glad I remembered watching this earlier last yr. I've been using henna for about 2.5 yrs now.
    Now I have a new method thanks to you Henna & Indigo.
    Thank you kimcashtate. Stay Blessed
