- On Paper, #HennaHairDye looks the best in the market. It got no chemical ingredients, there are no side effects, it's made of natural material, it's organic, and all that stuff.
But why this isn't as popular as conventional box dye?
Its long application process and limited color shades are the only things that keep people from using it. But that doesn't mean you will use conventional products. #Henna is a plant-based dye that can make your hair healthy, shiny, and hydrated.

Our Vision:
Our henna hair dyes were created & started with a vision to help people with sensitive skin & scalp, as most of the hair dyes found in major retail stores contain harsh chemicals that can cause lasting damage if used long term. PPDs, ammonia & SLS are a few to mention, these substances are no friend to anyone & could send you to ER if you are not aware of your allergies. With that being said, these compounds are not only harmful to people with sensitive skin, when absorbed in, but they are also one of the major reasons that cause skin diseases and breast cancer in women. We feel like we are contributing to a cause by developing, promoting natural products & spreading awareness of harms that are caused by chemicals.
Our Promise:
We source the finest quality ingredients from ethical producers around the world. We understand the need for hair & skincare that keeps its promises and is constantly in search of excellent natural ingredients to enhance natural beauty. Our product line is developed using the finest natural ingredients.
Your Satisfaction:
Switching to natural beauty products has been the latest trend these days and for obvious reasons, with so many skin diseases and cancer-causing ingredients that are being used relentlessly are a no joke to your health. All your purchases are covered by the money-back satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy, we won't be either!

I have been using Henna guys dark brown Henna for 3.5 years now and I LOVE MY HAIR. Covers my grey and ita beautiful in the sunlight. I get compliments all the time.
Love to hear this! Would you mind sharing pictures with us:) sales@thehennaguys.com
@@TheHennaGuys of course I will! Thank you for your product. I have never had healthier hair!
Does the henna turns your white hair m, reddish?
I have a lot of white hair and I decided to use henna because I am tired of all the chemicals that are in the normal dyes, but I am a bit afraid….I need brown to dark brown colour
Thank you for your answer 🥰
@Roberto [GD] I used dark brown. There are 2 stages. The first application is Henna color and turns your hair super red and then you apply the dark brown and it's a beautiful dark brown that has red tones in the sun. Dark Brown is amazing coverage for grey if you follow the instructions
Can you go from black henna to dark brown henna ? Or black henna to burgundy henna?
That was very helpful tips thank you so much
Thank you for the informative video!
I used Henna for 45 years and loved my red hair! Eventually, my bio-hair went white so the Henna color looked very orange. I stopped a few years ago and used a regular hair bleach to remove it very easily and successfully. I really miss having red hair... I am going to try dying a human hair wig with pure natural henna... It may be a very costly experiment if it doesn't work well, but I think it's the only way I will be able to have my red hair again.... and... Old ladies are allowed to be eccentric, so I don't care what people will think of me when I wear a red wig...
Henna is always the best for your hair!!:)
Get henna guys. they have red henna. If you have white hair it will take It's beautiful!
@@rashida7777 Yes, the natural Henna is wonderful, but on white hair it turns bright orange and not natural-looking also it is so much work to apply henna, to leave it on three hours and wash it out when I am 78 years old, it is just too hard for me. I did that from about 1973 to 2008. Then I gave up and bleached the Henna out. It looks absurd to have white hair growing out with white roots showing so I would have to keep doing it every two or three weeks. If I had someone else to help me it would be different as I do love the red hair.
@@Dakiniwoman They add a natural red tint to it. So. It's not orange.
@@rashida7777 Okay... I understand the one you mean. thanks.
thank you for all these helpful tips x
Glad you like them!
You are so beautiful.Thanks for the advice😊
Thank you!
Thank you so much! Very helpful 🙌🏾💜
Can you use Hanna alone? Without indigo?
Yes, you can. Henna alone, without indigo, will leave a reddish tint.
Henna definitely lasts a long time LOL. I came across some Burgundy henna so I thought I would try it out. Mind you, I'm used to semi-permanent chemical hair dyes that wash out in a month. Burgundy on dirty blond apparently equals orange and suddenly I became a carrot top.......and I'm staying a carrot top for months now as my natural color slowly grows in. Good thing I'm not too concerned about my looks. Actually, I love having unique and/or unusual hair colors but I'm kinda ready for this to be gone 😆
Yes, henna is a permanent hair dye.
Short but very informative 👌 Great tips ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Hi!!! thanks very much for the nice advice!!! I want to start with henna but I am a lit bit afraid if I don't like the colour.. My hair now are dyed light blond coper and although I bought brown, red and blond henna I don't know how much of each i should mix. If I hate the colour I get how much time do I have to wait until I'll be able to use a chemical dying colouring? Thanks very much in advance for your answer and your help, much of love
Hello, We always recommend doing a strand test to help you to see the end result before applying all over. You can go back to chemical dyes whenever you want. You can email us at sales@thehennaguys.com for more help with picking a henna hair color
I enjoy these videos
Thank you so much! We are so glad you do:)
I have never colored my hair before, so I'm grateful for the tips. I know henna is a different ball game than your typical hair dye. My question is could I blend the medium brown with the light brown? My hairdresser said I'm actually between colors, so I'm afraid of medium turning out too dark and the light turning out too light. I'm about 1/4-1/3 grey, so I'm at a loss which way to go. Thank you!
Yes, you can do that. But, you should strand test to see what the end color will be on your hair before applying all over. Typically, we recommend using the lightest color of henna first, as henna cannot lighten hair. If you go darker than you are wanting, you can't apply a lighter henna to lighten it.
If I have natural dark brown hair, can I use the light brown henna to lighten it? Would that take more applications get it to like chestnut?
Unfortunately, Henna will not lighten your hair since there are no chemicals to do so. You can only go darker with henna.
very useful looking into using henna for the first time .I wanna go red any brand in specific that you can recommend ?
We would recommend our band thehennaguys.com
There are a few different red henna hair dyes to choose from!
I recommend their brand as well and there’s a sale currently
Hello! What happens if you use henna to cover grays and then just stop? Does your have just continue to go gray as if you never used it? Really debating if I want to try this. Thanks
Hi Sheree,
Henna is a permanent hair dye but does fade over time, depending on how you take care of your hair. The color you do will cover the greys, but you will have grey hair grow out which will require you to have root touch-ups. Hope this helps!
Can I rinse my hair with warm water after dyeing, instead of cold water described on the instruction?
Yes, you can. Warm/cool water is fine.
If you want to achieve a light brown how long would you leave it in for ?
This will depend on what your current hair color is?
Please do we have different types of henna, because I want my hair to be dark brown thank you
Yes, we have Jet Black, dark brown, and many more. Please visit www.thehennaguys.com :)
Is ok to use warm tap water to make the mixture? Do not have distilled water on hand at this moment.
You may, but the outcome of henna may come out differently depending on your water treatment.
@@TheHennaGuys thank you for replying.
Hi 👋🏽 Can I mix Dark brown with Red henna dye? I want brown with red tone. Thank you 🙏
Hello! You sure can! You can also try using beat juice, hibiscus tea, or rosehip tea as the liquid base in your mixture to bring out more reddish tones.
I just did my hair for the first time 2days ago and I love it. I didn’t use indigo. Can I apply it today?
As long as your grays are covered with pure henna you may use henna, otherwise Indigo needs pure henna as a base. (and your hair is clean)
Nice video! I would like to ask you, I have dark brown curly hair with lots of stubborn white hair coming out and especially on my face edges. What color of henna I have to buy to preserve the dark brown tone?
I have heard that henna destroys hair and makes it red. I don’t want reddish hair.
Thank you
Hi, henna does not destroy hair. It can actually help your hairs' health. Yes, all henna hair dyes will have a red tint to them, this is because henna is red and the main ingredient. Starting with a lighter brown and seeing how that covers your gray hair is the best way to go. If you want to go darker you can, but keep in mind henna cannot lighten hair, only make it darker. You can email us at sales@thehennaguys.com for more help and information.
I have black natural 4c hair. Can you suggest where I can find this product to purchase and what colour do you recommend?
Can you safely dye your lashes with henna? Or not possible?
With every application of henna does the color get darker and darker each time from build up ?
Hi Jessica!
Although henna is plant base hair dye, we do not recommend applying it to eyelashes. Henna does tend to get darker with each application but over time, it does fade depending on how you take care of your hair.
Hello i have natural black hair... it has never been dyed ever. I am noticing a gray hair in one spot and i am interested in using henna dye. Can i just do the roots of my hair or do i have to do my whole head see as how my hair has never been dyed?
You can do roots only.
I mixed my henna last night, I just washed my hair. Do I apply henna while my hair is still wet or wait until it’s dry? I’ve never colored my hair before!
You should apply to clean and dry hair.
And does each reapplication of henna make the hair darker? I have never seen (not that I know of) anyone with henna dyed hair in real life.
Yes and no. If you reapply henna within days of applying henna, it will make your hair darker. But, if you reapply every 4-6 weeks, you should get the same results as the first time. Henna will naturally fade some due to washing, styling and the elements, so when you reapply as a touch up it will only bring that faded hair back to life. You can also just do root touch ups which will only color roots.
I am keen to try henna but also terrified because of how difficult it would be to change if I don't like it. I guess I could test a small piece of my hair underneath?
Yes, we always recommend doing a strand test before applying all over. You can also try Cassia. Cassia has all the benefits of henna without the coloring, and it is not permanent like henna is.
@@TheHennaGuys oh thank you, I never knew that about Cassia.
My hair is very dark brown, but I have some gray/white in the front. I want to try henna, but not sure how to make it darker to match my natural color or if it will cover my grays. Any recommendations?
Hello! We do have a dark brown henna hair dye that would work well! I'll link it below. Our hair dye does cover grays though they can be stubborn, and it might take a second application for the henna to grab onto your hair. I recommend adding 2-3 teaspoons of ACV to the mixture to help fight those grays. www.thehennaguys.com/products/dark-brown-henna?_pos=1&_sid=ef9245a52&_ss=r
Did you say the red henna needs to be mixed and left for a few hours prior to application? Thanks!
Yes, it will need 8-10 hours of rest time.
Can the rest time happen while it’s in you hair overnight?
Can I mix two different colors of henna? I have dark brown hair and I would like to have dark brown reddish hair. result results
Absolutely!
Can i straighten my hair ( with straightener ) a day after henna coloring ?
Yes, you may, but we still advise not to, as it takes 24-48 hours for the color to develop. Applying any heat will degrade the color.
Can I use a home treatment for my hair same day when using henna
You may but we still recommend to wait 72 hours for the color to fully develop.
I have been researching Henna Strawberry Blondes and not one site says it must sit 8-10 hrs before applying. Why does your Henna require that?
We do not have a strawberry blonde, but most red hennas need the 8-10 hours for a dye release. This is recommended for pure hennas with no chemicals added. Natural dyes will take longer time. Mixing cassia with pure henna can give the strawberry blonde color. Email us at sales@thehennaguys.com for more help and advice.
Is henna good for grey or white hair and which colour come red or
Hi Ruben, What color are you looking to achieve and yes henna covers grey hair! please feel free to contact us via email for more deeper response and help you achieve the color you desire! sales@thehennaguys.com
For jet black, how long should the Henna stay on before I wash it off? Also, can I use coffee instead of water?
You need to leave henna on your hair for 3 hours and yes you made use coffee. Coffee helps achieve darker tones.
I know with chemical dyes you shouldn’t dye it any more than once every 6-8 weeks, but is there an amount of time you have to wait before you re apply it?
There is no specific time due to henna benefiting hair instead of damaging it. You can touch up your roots every 2 weeks. Henna dye is most vibrant for 4-6 weeks, but you can reapply as soon as you wish.
I have a skin condition called Eczema - is Henna safe for skin conditions such as Eczema?
We ask you do a patch test. Even though it's natural due to being plant you want to check you are not allergic to it.
It’s ok if use plastic bowl instead glass bowl?
Yes
My is hair is shedding after awhile using henna. What must I do?
Have you been using conventional hair dyes or even used hair products in the past? Henna will not make your hair fall out. Also how did you apply it and wash it?
Last night I left my Henna powder overnight ( after adding some water + coconut oil + a lemon ) but because it I did another things first, it happened to be 12 hours , I’m afraid if the brown color would turn into much darker one so I threw it. What a waste! This’s my first time using Henna anyway. In your point of view if I still used it, what color it would turn into? N how long the best time for lighter brown? Thank you so much …
Hello, the brown color does not need a long resting period. Leaving it out for that long will result in a lighter coloring with more red tones. With browns, you only want them to rest for 30-45 mins before applying.
I have jet black hair and want brown hair.. can I use your dark brown henna to achieve that?
Unfortunately, you can not go from dark to light with henna. You will see no color change.
@@TheHennaGuys Thank you
I’ve heard that henna tends to turn red no matter what color of dye you use, is that true? I’m currently blonde, thinking about going light brown, but I would like to avoid any major red tones if possible.
There can be red under tones because henna is red, but it is the other natural ingredients added to the mixture that will give it the brown color. Doing a strand test will help you to see if you will have more red undertones or less. You can also use black brewed tea or coffee to help with the red undertones.
I want my hair jet black (currently it’s black with some gray strands) can you suggest a henna color to buy? Pure henna is green, will it turn black? Help
Alma and cassia will be more cool yellow, indigo is dark blue. Hibiscus will tone more red.
Indigo + henna = black or dark cool brown
Henna + cassia/alma = ashy brown
When can I perm my hair after I henna it?
Typically, you should wait 2 weeks in between different hair treatments. Also, make sure you are using henna from a reputable seller.
Can you put henna on top of highlights what would happen ? And if not possible then how can you create highlights using henna like a a golden brown? Should we add lemon juice to the mix 🤷🏼♀️
Hi Jessica! Do check out the videos that we did strand tests on. We have a hair strand with highlights, and you can see the difference after the henna application. You may see the part with highlights a little lighter than the other colors. As for creating highlights, this will depend on what color you are currently trying to cover. You can email us at sales@thehennaguys.com for more detail:)
Can you use henna over a previous non henna permanent colour
Yes, you can, but the base color of your hair will determine the end color. Keep in mind that henna cannot lighten hair, so if your hair is dyed black or a darker brown, it will likely not pick up much color from the henna.
you say it lasts a couple months. Then do you redo the entire process? because you also said after that you only do the roots. Also, when you say you might have to do 2-3 applications, are you referring to the entire 6 hour process or just the second part where color is added to the henna.
Henna is a permanent hair dye so all over wont be needed but your roots will. As they grow out and show the color difference. 2-3 applications is referred to if you are new to henna and the color came our lighter then to your liking. Hope this helps:)
2-3 applications
of what. Of just the brown or the henna and brown - the whole 6 hour process?
You don't add color to henna. It starts green but as you let it sit in the bowl and the dye releases, it then becomes a brown color. But every time you use henna for color, you will have to redo the whole process. The only difference would be if you are only doing a root touch up, you might mix up less henna. But the dye release time and the time it takes to color your hair once applied will not change. One exception: leftover prepared henna can almost always be frozen and saved to use later. (Some herbs that people add for other results can keep it from freezing well). If you have frozen prepared henna, you simply need to thaw and apply.
Can i use henna when with thinning hair?
Yes, you can!
It made my hair look fuller for a few days 😊
Is dark henna good or dark brown henna good to cover gray hair?
What color is your hair and what color are you trying to achieve?
@@TheHennaGuys my hair is black and some gray and trying to achieve just black
Ive never dyed my hair and im trying to grow it to knee length. Im a bit bored while waiting 😂 Does Henna take well on virgin hair? Thank you for this video xx
Absolutely! It takes super:) Your hair must be so healthy!
Aww thank you 🥰 I try my best haha. I feel inlove with the Deep Red colour ive seen on some videos. Always wanted a rich burgundy red but hate using chemicals. Do you think its too much to use Deep Red for a first timer? My hair is Light Brown
Does henna damages hair like colors ?
Absolutely not! Henna actually helps repair damaged hair from conventional hair dye.
After washing henna from hair should we have to apply oil ?? Is it necessary or can we skip it ?like directly can we wash hair using shampoo
You don't need to apply oil if you don't want to. It's just a preference and helps to enhance henna. And we do not recommend washing with shampoo the first time. This come with detail instructions and you may rinse henna out with conditioner but need to let the color set it for 48 hours at least. After that you may use shampoo.
@@TheHennaGuys thank u so much for your reply I was desperately waiting for it . One more question regarding it that I have heard it from others like if u won’t apply oil on hair after applying henna it will make your hair dry so I wanted to know if it’s true or not.?
I guess I’m not leaving it on long enough I’m trying to cover gray hair and it comes out brassy red almost fluorescent! Does anyone else loose a lot of hair when you rinse this out?
Gray hair can be stubborn to cover, and you could need more than one application for full coverage. Hair fall is an unusual issue to have.
Oh that’s your crickets. I thought it was because it is still too early in the season for them. Lol
lol, this video was posted in 2021 Sept. So yes crickets start coming in.
I just did Hanna hair color after 3 months
Why is it that after using henna it damage the hair. I see that henna does not go with hair oil
Have you been using conventional hair dyes or even used hair products in the past? Henna will not make your hair fall out. Also how did you apply it and wash it? Henna strengthens and thickens your hair over time
Where can I buy a good henna please my dear
You can buy on our website thehennaguys.com
I kept it on about an hour; but maybe it was too long bc it gave me a headache. Other than that no other reaction.
Was it indigo powder or pure henna? You may be a little allergic to the plant. Did you do a patch test before?
@@TheHennaGuys it was the organic rajasthani Indian henna
Why do people say henna is permanent and lasts a long time if it only lasts 4-6weeks?
Henna is permanent, but can start to fade around 4-6 weeks.

I think your sentence is a bit confusing when you said with hena dye you can go from light to dark but never dark from light...well, isnt it that you go from light to dark? Therefore its not a "never" statement to say but "never dark from light" because "from" is where it originates which is "light" shade then goes to dark... so your logic was confusing when you said "but never dark FROM light"...
You should have said but never "dark to light"...
Just clarifying..i was confused by your statement.
Sorry for the confusion. Henna can only make your hair darker; it cannot make it lighter. That's what was being stated in the video.
@@TheHennaGuys got it..thanks for clarifying
Aint nothing confusing about that, you just plain foolish
@@therealsteaklife70 a person clarifying a statement is not stupid. Its actually correcting a wrong statement. You just have a stupid judgment perhaps!
Save some hair from your hairbrush and use the henna on that first, it's permanent and a big commitment
This is a good way to strand test when doing a new hair dye!
Coconut oil is a far better recommendation than nasty ole Vaseline. It's made from petroleum. The same petroleum they use in the automotive industry
We do love the use of coconut oil, thanks for suggesting that!
That's about as useful as an argument as suggesting that arsenic or cyanide is a better recommendation than sarin, or mustard gas... Because supposed to be "natural" 😂
Meanwhile... Botox can be classified as "natural", but it's also way, way, waaaay more deadly than synthetic herbicide
@@mxbunnycatter Get a grip and stop this nonsense. She told you exactly what it is - a plant. Not man made.
Can mix different colors together when applying?
Ironically, saying it's "chemical free" is kind of a contradiction... As it's still pretty much a chemical reaction that causes the dye.
The sole difference is that it's a largely safe/likely non-toxic way to dye your hair) skin with.
But that's just the science-nerd in men speaking for itself
Henna is natural/vegan made by nature - conventional dyes contain chemicals that are made by humans.
WHAT IS THAT NOISE IN THE BACKGROUND?!?!???!!!
Crickets. We are located in the Midwest and usually around July they get nosier. Their chirp penetrates the walls of our warehouse.
if I want light brown and I only have dark brown henna, can I shorten the application time from 4 to 2 hours and that way get a lighter color? Is that doable??
Unfortunately, henna can not lighten your already dark color hair. You can go light to dark but never dark to light with henna
@The Henna Guys my question was if I put a darker hena on my hair and if I don't keep it that long (instead 4h I'll leave it 1h) maybe it won't darken my hair that much. so that way wouldn't darkened my hair as it would if l leave it on the regular 4h time
@@ParisMadridLondon That is what I was wondering too.
