Henna Expert Reacts to Natural Hair Community using HENNA (type 3 and type 4 hair)

[@ninqistratton3418]

Tips: -Wash your hair first. -Prepare your henna as a thick yoghurt consistency -Leave it in the hair for 3-4 Hours for peak dye release -Heat and Steaming the hair can help the henna penetrate into the hair shafts. (potentially cutting the 3-4 hour dye sitting time in half) -Henna can loosen the curl pattern, but amla and Zizyphus Powder can help keep your natural curl pattern -Henna will dye your surfaces like your towels, too. - if you have grey hair and are doing root touch ups, you may need to add indigo powder to darken the orangey tones that grey hair picks up from henna. -You dont really need to let your henna sit overnight, what matters is how long it sits on your hair (3-4 hours) - Henna Oxidizes into the color it'll actually be. The original color you see after rinsing it out is not the final color. -Don't overuse henna, use it to strengthen your hair as needed. Alternative treatments in the interim (2-3 months) include fenugreek, aloe, zizyphus, amla, Rhassoul Clay, hibiscus rinses, etc. -people with fine hair may need to mix their henna with amla -

In Iraq where henna is commonly used, usually you mix it with hot water, tea,coffee, kujarat tea, or chamomile tea mayby even beet water and let it sit few hours. You can add eggplant peel, green walnut meaty peel ( this has a natural brown dye and women used to use it as a semi permenant lip tint oh! And pomegranate peel . You can be creative with what you add like onion juice,oils (not too much though) There is this wives' tale that you should avoid using henna or any hair dye when you are on your period because your hair won't take the color as well as it should, just a fun piece of information

I am 45 and have been applying henna on my hair for over 30 years. I have never stopped doing it. I have a lot of gray hair so I do the rrots every second week, and do the complete hair every 6 weeks. I wait two hours, that's perfectly enough for me since I already have multiple layers on my hair. I have a very rich and natural looking copper colour, many people think I'm a natural redhead. And yes, it does relax the curls in a very nice way. I will never give up my henna ritual. ❤

[@carolabraham340]

I love this video. I have fine hair with medium density. I've been using Henna to cover my gray for about 4 yrs. I used the Nupur Henna in the video before exclusively using Henna Sooq products. I agree somewhat with the last user from Trinidad. I did noticed that I needed to keep up with triming my ends while using Henna. I stopped using Henna regularly on my ends. Now, I alternate using Henna on my whole head then my roots every other month or two. I also increased my moisturizing deep conditioner for 2-3 weeks after my Henna treatments. Henna by itself is a strong Ayurvedic herb and mimics a protein treatment. I recently started adding 1 tablespoon of Alma powder to my Henna mixture. This routine has been working for me, especially since adding Indigo to cover my gray hair black. I don't usually comment on YT videos. Since this video, pop-up in my feed, I felt the need to share. I hope someone can take away something from my experience. I hope this will helps someone. Note: Maybe use pure Henna for a few months. Then use Nupur Henna mixture inbetween for the other herb benifits. Best of luck on your Henna journey❣️

[@CarmenHamina]

I used henna consistently for about 3 years. My hair is medium porosity and occasionally heat styled and it was so easy to treat. I never got heat damage or split ends, my wash day was a breeze. Then I moved to a hard water country and didn’t bring any henna with me, I regret it. My hair is not only wrecked by the hard water damage but it got significantly weaker with only 1 year of no henna treatments!! I didn’t know these two factors made such a difference in my hair regimen

I'm afraid to do the one step process. I've always did henna (with a little amla) first and leave on for 4 to 6 hours and rinse. Then wait and mix and apply indigo (add a pinch of salt) and apply and sit for another 4 to 6 hrs or depending time of day go to sleep. After rinsing I do not apply anything to my hair especially not any oils. Tried the LCO/LOC once and after all the hard work a lot of the color went down the drain. So I don't apply anything to my hair for at least 2 days after and then I shampoo and conditioner. "I know it boggles your mind doesn't it? But the black that I am trying to achieves seems to last longer. I used to henna/indigo every 6 to 8 weeks (roots only). I haven't applied either since pre covid (late 2019). I am so glad I came across your channel. I plan on doing it this weekend and may try the one step and if not dark enough I can then add another treatment of Indigo only. Will also add aloe vera powder. Thank you!

Hellow. I just wanted to share my experience with Henna. I have a nougatbrown (light brown ) color naturally. I used chemical dyes maybe 3 times in my life but they never catch on my hair. But I did use Hena , red hena, very often to just give a highlight of red to my brown hair. I always loved it. It stayed for very long time and I love the way it looks in the sun. Now I am 28 and I have alot (like 20) whitehairs in front of my head.maybe they are not so many but are very visible. Now I use Hena and Indigo color, or KHADI color to cover that, I stayed until now with natural dyes and , is for sure harder to cover gray , but my hair dosnt look damaged. I love the Henna ritual, the way it smells, the pasty nonchemical smell like tea, for me reminds me of macha tea, maybe because of the green color. ❤ I think Henna is amaizing. I hope I can use just this for future, to cover my gray hairs. I hope will not be too hard. Is someone that has more experience with covering grey hairs here? Some tips? ❤ thank you so much

Just reviewing some of your videos again as my henna processes. Culprit could be protein-overload or lack of moisture-protein balance. Another variable could be hard water. I have fine strands too and have experienced protein overload (not due to Henna). WRT Henna, I apply approximately every 6 weeks and on the lead up, I make sure to not use products especially conditioners and deep conditioners with proteins. Keeping a hair journal is very helpful. I track protein and Henna use in my planner.

[@thefoolmountain9481]

My hair is sensitive to protein and too much protein without enough moisture makes my hair brittle so it snaps off and breaks more easily. Henna has that effect on my hair so I don't use it too often and usually stick to more moisturizing treatments. I imagine that's what happened with the woman who experienced damage from using henna too often.

[@3naturalsbyJae]

With “protein sensitivity” its more you are using the wrong type of protein treatment☺️ hair is made up of keratin protein so it technically cannot be protein sensitive❤

[@thefoolmountain9481]

I have very course dry hair, which is naturally higher in protein and lower in moisture. Adding more protein can make my hair brittle because its adding too much strength to my already strong hair, what I need more is moisture and elasticity. This is what I know about my own hair based on experimentation and experience! There's a lot of contradictory information on the internet but nothing beats listening to your own hair and watching how it responds to things! Hope this helps ❤@@3naturalsbyJae

I’ve been using henna for 4- 5 years now, and the ends of my hair are the richest, most beautiful red color that I absolutely love! When I apply my henna each time I do my whole head because I want to benefits on all my hair, not just the roots. Is there a way I can get the hair closer to my scalp to be that same rich red or will that only come from frequent applications? I henna my hair every 8 weeks.

[@harmony8337]

Don't know if it would work for you.. but I put it on my roots every week to get it more built up to match the ends, I only do the whole head around 6-8 weeks.

[@lydiaswanson3240]

@@harmony8337 thanks! I’ll be trying that the next time I henna my hair 🙂

[@camijacobv]

Its possible that your ends are technically lighter than your natural color at the roots because the ends have been exposed to the sun longer and that slowly bleaches hair. Back when I had my only natural hair and very very long it was brown all the way except the tips that were light brown / copper

[@TheMatrixgod]

which henna are you using?

[@sofiacaldas6280]

You are so delicate, so feminine so gifted and talented ❤

[@kelviannaepperson3677]

I have natural dark brown hair with red tint and I have henna from curly proverbs line. Today I made a tea and used leave in conditioner that has other moisturizing natural ingredients after washing. The first time I used henna it was a watery consistency so less water next time

[@sassys1240]

No, she used all ayurvedic herbs, aloe, amla, fenugreek, etc. She did only use the Nupur henna though

[@cfoster6804]

Correct she was using other herbs between the henna treatments.

[@noorraad7383]

Hello Khadija, please allow me to ask you for advice about henna. What should I mix with it to soften my hair? My second question is that I have ground Sidr. When I put it on my hair, I knead it like henna, but after washing my hair becomes dry. Why do I ask for your advice? Thank you very much.

[@HennaSooq]

Hello! Which product did you use from us? We recommend adding aloe vera powder: hennasooq.com/products/organic-aloe-vera-powder and use our cowash after washing: hennasooq.com/collections/natural-hair-conditioner. Thank you!

[@jennifert7678]

I have been using henna for sometime now and I love it. I like the red tinge that it gives without damaging my hair. I have recently started adding Hybiscus powder to get a more burgundy deep red. It doesn’t come out as bright as I would like but it’s nice when you see it in the Sun. You mentioned Alevera powder and another one for moisture? I couldn’t quite catch the name what was it? ❤

[@veroniquedusabe513]

I'm a big fun of henna .... happy to find your channel

[@deborahbonner476]

I'm getting a "chocolate"color by mixing amla and indigo with the red raj. Super beautiful color.

[@MsFoxy2009]

@ deborahbonner476 What is the ratio and do you have grey or white hairs? What color are they if you have them with this chocolate color.

[@vanessas3883]

I bought cassia henna, if I wanted to keep my natural hair color (dark blackish-brown type 4c hair) would cassia be the best option? Will it change my hair color? If cassia is the right choice, how often do I use it to help grow my hair and promote hair strength?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. You can use it every 3-4 weeks.

I'm in hampton va. I've been using henna for 15 years. .my mom's friend put me on. I was pregnant and wanted to dye my hair. She introduced me to a natural option. I would love a professional. touch.

[@mlg1128]

New to learning about henna. How do you get dark hair to red? Like what product do you use and mix and such to get the color you want. I guess my question is, how do you go from darker hair color to lighter? Is it possible to go from dark brown to red in one application? Also, do you mix the henna powder with the tint to get the desired color? I'm confused.

[@HennaSooq]

Yes, several applications are necessary to achieve that tone for dark hair color. We recommend these products to start with: hennasooq.com/collections/red-henna-hair-dye

[@prophetic125]

Hairstylist are saying that henna blocks water in the hair shaft and it is bad for the hair. I would like to know if that is true.

[@Ocean40197]

And what do they say about their chemical cancer causing hair dye? Just curious…

[@angelagayle679]

Love your henna and Ayurvedic herbs. Thank you Khadija. Just started but will continue to try new products.

[@v.p.6422]

Oh and I did use coffee/green tea,clove and fenugreek, I boiled and strained as my liquid.

[@mrogue87]

So do you use henna like a protein treatment or do you use protein after????

Hello. Henna alone acts as a protein treatment.

I used to use henna in the earlier years of my natural hair journey. I was thinking of going back to it but I’m also thinking of dyeing my hair (blonde highlights) next year, so I won’t be able to use henna. What herbs have similar conditioning/strengthening properties without the risk of depositing colour?

Re: third video- my hair got very frizzy with henna in the past. But I’ve re started using it after 10 years - and it’s doing wonders- what am I doing differently this time ? I’m using pure organic henna with aloe Vera and I’m using sulphate and paraben free shampoo and it’s absolutely amazing - soft and shiny hair

Hello. It may be the quality of henna you may have been using or too long of a dye release or your hair.

Never used Henna ... Researching to dye my thick dreadlocks light from dark brown❗

[@nancyetienne8695]

Thanks. Personally, I stopped using Henna because I tried it with indigo and my hair stayed orange. It wasn’t nice. 😨😥

[@racinerobinson]

does it loosen your curls or damage them? For example, heat will loosen curls but that is because it is damaged.

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. With our products it is safe to do so but henna do loosen curl patterns. Using amla and zizyphus products will help maintain them.
