How I cover my grey hair naturally | Natural brown hair dye (step-by-step tutorial)

[@LindaLights]

I use henna a lot...especially Desert Shadow which is an Australian owned company. Covers silvers, is conditioning and turns out lovely every time.

[@VanessaDixon]

That's absolutely wonderful to hear Linda!

[@LindaLights]

@@VanessaDixon Your video was great...that's how I stumbled across your channel.

Hi, why did you switch to a different brand? What's wrong with light mountain? I want to know because I'm planning to purchase from them.

[@VanessaDixon]

Oh nothing's wrong with light mountain, it's a great henna brand. I still use it sometimes. I started using this one as I could collect it from a store near me so I didn't need to pay for delivery.

[@shrutiramaiya5835]

How do you do touch ups? Do you just do the roots of the full head application again? If full head, does the previously hennaed hair come out darker than the roots?

[@VanessaDixon]

I usually apply full coverage every six weeks to my hair, and I've found it hasn't left parts of my hair looking darker than others, but I also choose a henna hair dye that matches my natural colour, so it's not so noticeable

[@shrutiramaiya5835]

[@nishitapatel6665]

Sorry I am confused Which brand you are using and recommending? Dessert shadow or light mountain?

[@VanessaDixon]

Light Mountain henna was what I used in this video, but since then I have switched to the desert shadow brand. Both are great

[@keishagloudemans4909]

This was great!! How long does it last?

[@VanessaDixon]

It lasts about 6 weeks till regrowth starts to show

What is the brand I can't see it fully

[@VanessaDixon]

The brand is Desert Shadow 😊

[@angelinalong9531]

where do we find that specific brand?

[@VanessaDixon]

You can find it online on Amazon or from the store Biome

[@Flower-pq9kt]

I dye my hair with henna then with indigo powder.

[@VanessaDixon]

Oh cool, does that give your hair a purple colour?

[@Flower-pq9kt]

Hi Vanessa, no actually deep black color. Works also perfectly for gray hair

[@VanessaDixon]

@@Flower-pq9kt Oh that's awesome!

[@rjtrendtrader8620]

Yes me to using one step application mix of 1:4 indigo & henna. It is so much easier than a two step application.

[@johlo143]

@@rjtrendtrader8620which brand are you using? I am not happy with the brand I use and I do two step application 😢

[@paymanehesmaili9162]

What’s is the name of brand you are using

[@VanessaDixon]

Light Mountain Natural

[@nouralhouda9820]

I tried henna on my white hair, and it gave a coppery hair color. No, I don’t want that. What should I do? Please help me. Is the henna you are using the same as the henna found in Arab countries?

[@VanessaDixon]

Oh yes it can leave that colour if you're using pure henna, as it stains red. I use a henna that's mixed with a natural brown element to give a more brown colour

[@nouralhouda9820]

I do not think that there is mixed henna in my country.. there is nothing other than pure henna. Are there natural ingredients that I mix with pure henna to give a brown color?

[@nouralhouda9820]

Another question, please.. I now use a decoction of rosemary, sage, and black tea. Does this help with dyeing white hair over time?

[@VanessaDixon]

@nouralhouda9820 oh okay, there are natural ingredients you can mix with the henna. Indigo is recommended, but again I'd recommend doing some research to make sure you're using ingredients to achieve the colour you desire for your hair

[@VanessaDixon]

@@nouralhouda9820 is not as strong and doesn't stain white hair the same way henna does, as it lightens overtime

[@judywebb8095]

Sorry what is the brand name ? I could not read it in the video

[@VanessaDixon]

The brand is Desert Shadow

[@angelinalong9531]

Does it make your hair fall or dry?

[@VanessaDixon]

I haven't found this to be the case, it's actually a great conditioner for my hair

[@barbthebookworm]

How long does if last?

[@VanessaDixon]

It lasts about 6 weeks

[@oscar-u8b]

@@VanessaDixoneven if you wash your hair everyday?

[@VanessaDixon]

@oscar-u8b I don't wash my hair everyday, I wash it about every second to third day, and it lasted about 6 weeks for me, as it stains the hair

[@highgrace4life]

Just Henon ?

[@VanessaDixon]

Yep just henna 😊

[@Downtoearthjill]

I’m a twin too 😊😊we make similar content

@@Downtoearthjill that's awesome, I'll check out your channel 😊

[@lucycarola]

Henna is NOT good for curly hair. I have SLE related alopecia areata and it made it way worse. Maybe this doesn’t happen to everyone, but I consulted with some Indian and other south Asian friends and they confirmed it works better on naturally oily hair.

[@VanessaDixon]

Oh thank you so much for the tip. I didn't realise that, I appreciate you letting us all know

[@lucycarola]

@@VanessaDixon it did make my hair grow longer quite fast, but then it all fell out. Black women with think hair can get away with it too. But, if you have naturally porous and thin hair, it doesn’t.

[@VanessaDixon]

@@lucycarola oh that's really interesting, I wonder why that is

[@cathrionahunt-tyrrell4581]

Ahhh all that brushing the wet tangled hair! Mercy on poor hair!

[@VanessaDixon]

Haha oh my goodness I know right! I've since stopped brushing my hair when it's wet and now do it once it dries, it's been so much better 😍

[@gabrielleangelica1977]

You'd look good with auburn...

[@VanessaDixon]

Oh thank you! I have actually dyed my hair red before, it's a lovely colour
