    I did the first step on my grays with the henna step one yesterday. I left it on for 1 and a half hours. My friends showed up in the process so I cut the time down from the 2 hours I had planned, but the results even with the shorter time was perfect. The deep copper color on all the grays that I have taken up about 25-50% of my top of head area and sides, now looks amazing. It shows me I did the first application correctly. I will be applying the second step for Deep Brown this morning with no distractions LOL. I love this natural approach to keeping long curly hair healthy and happy. Thank you for your guidance. No more chemical dyeing for me. Happy Henna Human.

      ​@@rachel2417this is probably way too late to help, but in the future you can freeze the leftovers *right away* after application. The dye releases/develops the longer it's left exposed to air, even in the fridge. So the leftovers from the fridge, wouldn't be effective to color your hair anymore. The efficacy of the henna starts to decrease after 18 hours of being mixed. Freezing it stops that process from continuing to release the molecules responsible for the color change in the keratin of your hair.

    I had a severe reaction using chemical dye on my beard before travelling abroad. My lower cheeks swelled up, and my cousin was shocked when he saw me at the airport and asked what happened to my cheeks. I have now started using Henna and Indigo (1 step process). The funny thing is when I first applied henna/indigo 1:3 ratio I let the Henna settle in for a full 24hrs as suggested by some youtubers and left it on my hair for 4hrs but that did not have ANY effect on my grey hair at all, even though I had washed and shampooed my hair the day before. However, I used the same Henna/Indigo 1:3 ratio again 4 days later. This time I let the henna settle in for just over 3 hrs before mixing the indigo, did not wash my hair and applied the mix on my dry hair and left it on my hair for only 1hour and 15 mins. Lo and behold the 2nd time it worked very well and covered most (90%) of my grey hair on the top and 80% on the beard.........any thoughts Khadija???

This way I don't have to worry about working out the mix ratio of Henna vs Indigo. Very dark brown is just right for my hair and the company Its pure supply it in the UK they are UK based.

By Wednesday hair was redder, not like henna alone, but not black or even brown. By the time I washed by end of week. Not sure if it was worth the hassle with the indigo.

    My hairline is a bit low and the gray is right on my baby hairs and it’s super SUPER stubborn. Thanks to you, I learned that I should be allowing the indigo to dye release before applying. I was originally told that it should be used immediately after mixing. Since I’m now doing your 2 step dye process, I leave the henna on for 4-5 hours then let the indigo do its thing while I’m sleeping then rinse it out and blow dry. Otherwise the whole wash day is painfully long. Also, if you see this message, your henna is SO MUCH BETTER than the brand I was using before! I bought 5 more when you had your Black Friday sale 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Happy Henna Sooq customer over here. 🙋🏽‍♀️

      Using a cowash after henna shouldn’t make your hair less ready to absorb the indigo, but you’ll want to be mindful of using a product that doesn’t leave behind heavy residues. A gentle cowash that is free of silicones or heavy conditioning agents can clean your hair while still allowing the indigo to adhere well just like what we carry: hennasooq.com/collections/natural-hair-conditioner

      Hi! I have been colouring my hair copper with henna for months now and I use a very simple mix: just pure Lawsonia inermis (250g for long, thick curly hair), 2 tbsp turmeric to get warmer tones, 2 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp aloe vera gel for hidration and I swap water for black tea to make the mixture acidic and get more of a warm tone again. Super easy, works for me every time!

    • @HennaSooq
      @HennaSooq  3 місяці тому

      hi! Yes typically neutral henna is also cassia. Just check the latin name on the packages you use. Using cassia alone before indigo isn't a good idea as cassia isn't permanent like indigo and cassia won't let the indigo cling very well to the hair strands and may leave a green hue from the indigo. Best used with henna.

      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 lasts 4-6 weeks but depends on hair growth.

      Hello. Color results can vary depending on your natural hair color or on how much grey hair you have. The lighter the hair and the more greys you have, will pull the most red (sometimes even an orange). Therefore sometimes, repeated applications are necessary to get better color.

      If you haven't done it yet, make sure to strand test first! Make a tiny batch of henna and test it on some fallen hair samples that you collect from your brush or shower. And let the strand test oxidize to be more sure of the colour you'll get. Once it's on your head it's pretty darn permanent.
