[@ozlemz2673]

5:42 my heart hurt.. girl that jagua juice is not cheap!

[@HennaSooq]

Ozlem Z yes I know right?! But so worth it for our clients. They love how dark black it turns out.

[@hudasiddiqui9692]

Love this video! Can't wait till I make the henna Jagua paste! You are just awsome

[@HennaSooq]

Thanks Huda! xo

[@hennaartbyfatima8745]

Hi,thanks for sharing this video,I ask one thing,can u please explain,how much quantity I use with jagua fruit juice in henna powder,I need mesurement please.

[@Circusgrrrl]

Interesting. I'm new to henna and just learning about jagua. I noticed that you didn't leave the henna to dye release for very long. Is that because of the jagua?

[@HennaSooq]

In general I don't personally leave either my henna paste nor jagua paste out for too long because I freeze it to give it a boost in color and general as I thaw it the color really releases perfectly. Otherwise in general if it's being left out and used right away you can leave it out for a total of 8-10 hours about.

[@eshalhadi3016]

How much jagua juice did u mixed. ?

[@lesleypassarella9646]

Hello have you used this in hair?

[@mf8705]

Does this also stain black on nails? Can you show a pic staining on nails?

[@mariakesel3134]

hello, can you dye your hair using this mixture? thank you

[@HennaSooq]

Yes can try to do so. Using jagua is a little bit more expensive. If it's too high in cost you can use indigo for hair instead.

[@yaniquaelliott5771]

Am from Jamaica how do i purchase from you?

[@vanialee3743]

ur exactly right. you would break your arms stirring that juice. it Is kinda heavy in thehenna. thank Allah for a stand up mixer

[@HennaSooq]

Yes that stand up mixer is saves those arms :)

[@Miraclebrowz4u]

Could you share link the henna name other stuff used yo make it please?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello! You can find our Supreme henna here: hennasooq.com/products/henna-sooqs-supreme-henna-powder-blend

[@farrahj8017]

Hi, Can this be applied to hair? How long will it last?

[@HennaSooq]

Yes you can, but it may not be as strong as using Indigo in your hair. Jagua would last about 4-6 weeks.

[@user-gt8ji1gs7k]

What is this material, please?

[@Bloodysugar]

Hi, thanks for the video and explanations. :) What is the amount of jagua you use with these 200g for a black hennagua ?

[@HennaSooq]

I don't measure, sorry. I just add as needed based on the consistency I'd like to use.

[@sindra14]

Thanks for the video! You don't have to let it sit out for dye release?

[@HennaSooq]

I personally let it sit for maybe a couple hours then I cone it and freeze it. The freezing gives it an amazing boost in color. Then I take only what cones I want at a time. If you want to use your past right away, then let it sit 6-8 hours or longer if needed but keep checking on it.

[@sirajchitharichithari8758]

Hlo..assalamualikm I am from india...whats the price of jagua juice and how can i order it

[@analee9309]

What amount of molasses should be used per 200 grams of henna powder (for those of us on the West coast)?

[@HennaSooq]

Hi Ana. I'd probably say about 4-6 tbsp. You may need to experiment a little. I only used molasses a couple of times. I know Debi Varvi of Henna Crone uses molasses all the time and would know better. Are you on facebook?

[@prettyflower5051]

Assalamu Alikum HennaSooq why you didn't use the jagua powder to mix it with henna powder instead of using a lots of jagua juice?

[@HennaSooq]

Pretty Flower Walaikum salaam dear. At the time of this video there was no jagua powder available on the marketplace. Now there is so you can definitely use that instead ❤️

[@prettyflower5051]

+HennaSooq oh OK. Thank you for the information sis.❤

[@HennaSooq]

Welcome sis! :)

[@saeedh24]

Hmm would u use water then to mix the powers?

[@shoroukmohamed5374]

So great if gugba juice make henna black its safe but i dont thik i will.found jujuba in egypt

[@HennaSooq]

We can ship our jagua juice and gel products to you. We ship worldwide :)

[@katyakamilya2742]

HennaSooq 😍

[@Scarab80]

How long can you store jagua henna paste?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. You can place it in the fridge for 5-7 days. Please use it within 7 days of being made (if kept in the fridge). If you have any leftovers you can freezer for up to 6 months

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

HennaSooq, have you ever used coconut milk in henna? This is what I use and it gives almost instant dye release.

[@HennaSooq]

Yes we have before. It's a great additive but it reduces the strength of the henna color outcome.

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

ok, good to know, one more question, have you ever mixed henna in an iron container to get it darker? I've seen so many YT videos about this.

[@HennaSooq]

We haven't personally used it as it always got pretty dark for us but we do know some of our clients tried it. So you can give it a shot and see how it turns out. :)

[@saeedh24]

I learned so much in this thread lol!

[@elisamondragon2849]

Do you deliver outside of the USA?

[@HennaSooq]

Yes we ship worldwide.

[@nailahashimi6519]

I want to make this henna, but I’m goin g to order everything now. And I wanted to know how much jagua juice I should buy from your website. You sell them in 2.5 fl ounces, so would that be enough for a whole packet of henna that you used in the video?

[@HennaSooq]

You may need more jagua juice. It's about 5-8 ounces per 100 grams. Maybe mix a small amount at first.

[@angelawambo3074]

do you use gloves when mixing to prevent your hands from staining?

[@HennaSooq]

I don't personally when mixing for personal use but you definitely can use gloves to prevent staining.

[@venisb6746]

Does jagua gel works with henna powder???

[@HennaSooq]

I haven't personally tried it as jagua is so much more expensive then indigo but heard some people say the jagua juice does. It does for body art for sure: hennasooq.com/blog/minxing-jagua-juice-to-create-a-black-henna-design/

[@HennaSooq]

PS oops sorry I thought this was about hair....not for black you need the juice. The gel might make it come out more brownish-grey toned. You should give it a try though!

[@venisb6746]

Thank u for the reply.. i will try. I have some jagua gel at my freezer.. will try this weekend..

[@HennaSooq]

@@venisb6746 oohh let me know how it turns out 🥰

[@ramlahramli1019]

Jagua henna powder 100g, what's the receipe

[@TracyD2]

How long can the jagua juice keep in the refrigerator. I don’t need a large amount.

[@HennaSooq]

Usually about 20-30 days. If you can mix it up, it's better to freeze it once you've made it into the paste.

[@priyapal2324]

jagua fruit juice nd molasses kya India me milta h.....or jamila henna powder use kerne se kya same colour ayega.....

[@HennaSooq]

Sorry I don't understand.

[@ammarahuda123]

@@HennaSooq assalam alaikum, she wants to know if jagua fruit juice and molasses is available in India and if Jamila henna powder will give the same stain as the one used in the vedio.

[@bgs5946]

Can you use it on your hair for grey or is it for body art ??

[@HennaSooq]

You can definitely try to do this for hair or body art. Enjoy!

[@The.ranosh]

How long does this henna last on hands

[@HennaSooq]

On hands about 10-14 days.

[@hurasirguroh5800]

Hi i wondering how much it would cost to ship jagua juice to Australia.

[@HennaSooq]

You'd have to contact our customer service at www.hennasooq.com for shipping questions.

[@ashleyroundtree4336]

how long do you let the paste sit. is it like regular henna i usually just use rajistani henna and it takes 5-8 hours for dye release? is there a dye release with the jagua juice?

[@HennaSooq]

We mix it like regular henna paste so it sits the same amount of time. Usually about 5-8 hours total. Then our trick is that we freeze the cones or bulk paste and then use as needed and thaw at room temperature and this boosts the color. The jagua juice is added directly and dyes almost immediately. We just have to wait on the henna to catch up. We hope this helps!

[@ashleyroundtree4336]

thank you

[@susankelembeck2866]

I’m new to henna, just started using it on my hair. But thought you had to keep away from metal objects when mixing henna is this true. Thanks

[@HennaSooq]

Some henna powders and herbs yes. Definitely clays, no metal. If the henna and ayurvedic herbs are pure then there is no issue. In the past some henna powders were compound henna or contained metallic salts so this would conflict. This is why inner foil is okay against the herbs in pouches, like we carry them.

[@mja532]

what is carrot bag. is it zip lock bag ??????

[@HennaSooq]

Moona Akhter no it's like a icing bag. The shape is like a triangle unlike a ziplock bag.

[@SanguinaryStrife]

Jaguar is not indigo?

[@HennaSooq]

No these are two different herbs/plants. Indigo is a leafy plant that typically grows in India and surrounding areas and Jagua is a fruit from south America including Puerto Rico.

[@kumariragini8172]

Hi there can I not freeze it and just leave my henna outside ??

[@HennaSooq]

Hi Kumari! You can freeze the paste once its done and use it as needed. I hope this helps.

[@repliccollection3249]

Anyone has any idea to get Jagua ink in India. Please do reply

[@sumbalasad8355]

i can't find jugya juice what else i can use other than jagua juice??

[@HennaSooq]

Unfortunately there isn't anything else you can use to create a natural staining black henna design. We do ship worldwide at www.hennasooq.com. You can purchase the jagua juice from us directly online and we'll ship it to you.

[@fatimaraji6296]

Have you ever tried using jagua gel instead of jagua juice?

[@HennaSooq]

No I haven't as I don't really see the point. Because then I'd have to make the gel anyhow using the juice and then add it to the henna. I could just use the juice to start with :)

[@ayeshasubhani7928]

Ma'am I M not getting it what is basically jagua?

[@HennaSooq]

ayesha subhani jagua is a fruit in South America that produces a blueish tint but when mixed into henna paste it makes it naturally black.

[@ramlahramli1019]

No need to prep ?

[@reinerca]

Thanks so much for this very informative video! I have been wondering how to incorporate jagua into my henna paste and this answered a lot of questions I had. Also, I had never heard about using a wetter form of sugar if living in drier climates, so I'm definitely going to do a bit more research and give that a try as well! Fun fact, since the use of jagua in body art originated in regions of South America, I believe the most accurate pronunciation is: hag-wa ;)

[@HennaSooq]

reinerca perfect! You're welcome. Yes the proper pronunciation because it's a Spanish word would be : yag-wa. Because the j make the y sound like on Juan.

[@keishadavis3207]

Can this henna be used for eyebrow tatoos? If so, does it come in other colors?

[@HennaSooq]

Henna can be used to dye the eyebrows but not to create eyebrows (not really well as it's not strong enough for such thin skin in that area). There are variations of colors you can create which are the same color tones you'd get when dying your hair. Keisha do you use henna currently?

[@liseiaparisian2881]

@@HennaSooq @HennaSooq I am interested in natural eyebrow tinting too. My eyebrows are on the lowish density side so I need something that dyes both the hairs AND the skin to get the look I desire. What about doing a mixture of henna with indigo, jagua and maybe black walnut hull to stain the skin and hairs under the eyebrows? It would be amazing to see you guys do a couple of videos on eyebrow tinting with herbs as most of the videos and articles online referring to "henna brows" are actually mixtures made with dangerous PPD. I really want to level up my brows with natural herbal dyes. If you guys could come out with a dye mixture made for staining both the eyebrow hairs and skin it would be a big hit in my opinion since its a pretty uptapped market and as of now the only 100% natural brow dye that stains both the hair and skin that contains jagua & henna I have seen so far is a product called "Brow Henna" by Henna Art Canada and they have 3 colors available.

[@repliccollection3249]

I stay in Pakistan

[@HennaSooq]

Wonderful!

[@jenschafer269]

Super sad to see you use a tag line of “black henna.” You and I both know full well that there is no such thing and that jagua is a different thing all together. A thing that happens to be very dangerous to those with fruit and latex allergies. People need to know the truth of what goes on their bodies!

[@HennaSooq]

Hey there. Sorry you feel this way. Black Henna is a term that can also attract people to come find out a natural way to create a black staining henna by just using jagua juice. I think it's rude of you, to presume that I don't inform my clients or students I have here on our channel or when I'm working. If you have issues with jagua, that is up to you to figure out for your own self. I'm 42 years old and I am pretty secure with who I am and what I teach and what I do for others. Good luck to you. Keep in mind, the energy you put out, is the energy you receive. Stay blessed.
