How to color resistant grey hair with henna and Indigo | Get the perfect coverage!

[@HennaSooq]

Do you struggle with coloring your grey hair? Let me know if you have any questions after watching this video and I will help you finally get those resistant greys covered!

[@kaniothman5551]

Hi Khadijah, I do have few questions, I have been on henna ( adding an egg and vinegar and honey) + indigo ( adding yogurt) 2 steps weekly after shampooing it for about a year. I am curly and my hair is course. Recently my curls are too relaxed and my hair is damaged, getting brittle ends and shedding a lot What am I doing wrong? I use organic henna and indigo and I wrap my hair with cling film for a couple of hours for each application. Looking forward to hearing from you 🥰🥰🥰

[@batgirl1ful]

Yes I really do have stubborn unruly greys, thanks for sharing my next application I hope will have better results.

[@nancy5821]

I got the best results this weekend by doing henna + indigo as step one. After 4hrs, I washed it off and did step 2 with indigo alone and let it sit for another 4hrs. My goodness... my hair turned out jet-black and super shiny. Even the stubborn greys at the front were not spared. The application process and waiting is quite hectic but totally worth it.

[@vivianwada6292]

Two days ago, I too did the same as you for the first time since I began using henna in 2018. As a customer of Henna Sooq since 2018, Khadijah sharing this information was indeed helpful. However, my first application was 75:25, mostly indigo to get as dark as possible on the first application, second application only indigo. Too bad deep conditioning your hair after each wash fades the henna. Oh well.

Hey Nancy ! Thank you for sharing. Not sure if you are still checking this thread, but do you mind sharing if the indigo black color was retained by your hair so far? I am struggling to get the indigo stick. My hair comes out really nice and black right after the two step process, but the indigo gets washed out about a month later, and the greys I tried to cover are all left looking deep red from the henna. Would appreciate your feedback. So glad you found a strategy that worked for you

[@nedafurunovic5204]

Yesterday I made a mixture of pure henna and indigo. The ratio of henna to indigo was approximately 1:1. I added one spoon each of amla powder, cassia powder, neem powder and aloe vera powder to the mixture. I kept the mixture on my hair for about 3 hours and then rinsed it well with just water. Today I only put indigo and that only on the roots that have some stubborn grays that cannot be covered with chemical dye. I kept the indigo on my hair for about 20 minutes to half an hour. After that I only washed with water. The result is astonishing. Persistent grays are completely covered. Hair that was previously dyed with chemical dyes has now doubled in volume. And the color, the color is a cool natural coffee brown. Thanks for the very valuable tips

[@HennaSooq]

Thank you so much. We appreciate your feedback! 🫶

Hi there .. as all products are not created equal, could I possibly bother you to detail the brands of these elements you mention? I'd really appreciate it. I'm in Australia and sometimes things won't mail to me, but this could be a starting point. Thanks :)

[@Dobviews]

Love your videos! I have been using henna for 7 years now after an immune illness caused me to become extremely sensitive to perfumes, harsh chemicals and bleach products. Henna keeps my greys away and leaves me healthy and not feeling sick for 2 - 3 weeks after treatment. For anyone with chemical sensitivity who wants to color their hair with a natural shade of red... henna is a goddess of perfection.

I have watched several videos on dying my hair using henna and indigo….for years!!! Yours is the first channel that recommended combining the henna and indigo, and adding a second, separate indigo application. I have henna in my hair as I’m typing this message. I have always applied henna separately and then indigo afterwards as a second step. My results have been pretty inconsistent. I’m going to try your method next time.

I've been using their Red Raj for years to cover greys. I like the copper color, so I don't bother with the indigo step. My tip: I brew my henna powder with hibiscus tea as the tea has an acidic pH (which increases dye release) and is itself a beautiful red color. Once developed, I add a few drops of lavender essential oil as this also helps release lawsone. Gorgeous results!

How did you detox your hair. I have brownish red permanent hair dye (97% natural) & want to grow out greys by using henna hoping it will fade out & not have to grow the henna out too. Avoiding the skunk root grow out.

[@RVC0902]

I find that if I use a 50:50 henna:indigo ratio for the first application, my greys do not get covered. I typically need almost 100% henna for the first application. Then on the second application, I do 75:25 indigo: henna to achieve a darker brown tone.

[@vivianwada6292]

Your second mix of 75:25 mostly indigo ratio is what do. I have been doing this as my sole step. Recently, I have had to reapply the is within a week. I've thought that indigo makes the dark color. Do you apply your second application the same day or wait a few days? Seems Khadija says the second application should be only indigo. I think I will try this soon. I'd appreciate your feedback. Thank you

Make sure you don't make the indigo until you're ready to use it. In the video she makes them at the same time but you need to let the henna sit for 3 or 4 hours BEFORE mixing the indigo. Once you mix that into the henna use it IMMEDIATELY for the indigo to work.

Great info, thank you so much for sharing. I'd like to add that I used to have very dry scalp and hair after henna treatment. I could see and feel that my hair is super healthy when wet. Unfortunately once I dry it up, my scalp would itch and hair became crunchy until recently when I discovered glycerine oil . I add it to the treatment during henna application and every other day to keep my hair and scalp well moisturised. I couldn't be happier! Ps: Glycerine oil is a little sticky but keeps the hair so moisturised and soft. I'm not sure many people would appreciate the stickiness lol. Personally I don't mind because my hair is pretty short :-)

[@denika369]

Do you leave it on or do you apply and rinse off after a while? Does it make hair look oily?

[@Stormulan]

tried this method & it's first time I've got 100% coverage of my stubborn grey hairs mainly along front hairline which is obvious more noticeable. I've been using henna/Indigo trying to achieve black, in my light brown hair with 10% grey's. doing just one henna/Indigo application with higher % of Indigo will achieve dark brown hair fairly well (albeit greys tend to fade quickly) But if you want pitch black, the key to achieving this -main difference from other methods - is DOING as hennasooq recommends, the henna/Indigo mix first then 100% Indigo IMMEDIATELY after rinsing out the combination henna/Indigo. I'm very glad I found this tutorial & now have a reliable source of information for henna related issues. Thankz heaps hennsooq

Welcome. Glad it worked out!

I am so happy to have discovered your henna videos because I have been looking for a natural product for a while now and never really thought about using henna because I thought it only came in black since my natural hair is brown which also compliments my complexion. Recently I coloured my hair in copper penny, a semi permanent which I did three weeks ago and the roots have faded already. So now I know I can get shade to blend, I am going to look for it and follow your directions. Thanks to Kimberly and Jacqueline for sharing their ideas on what they use to get the red and copper colour. Thank you.

[@elizabethmoore522]

Hi Khadijah. Can you do a video on touching up the grey roots only? Also, I use a few different oils in my hair. Does this make the color fade quicker, and which oils are best to use to prevent fading before the 4 to 6 weeks of the next henna treatment? Thanks for this video 👍🏽. I will do the 2 step treatment on my next henna day.

When i used to dye my hair darker i used henna first on my roots and then the henna and indygo mixture. It helped a lot cover all greys and colour was more intense 😊

What ratio?

First just henna and then half henna half indigo. More henna means more reddisch. More indigo will make it darker. It's up to you how dark you want it to be

[@iaia1988]

I use 200g of henna powder (only henna, i like the red tone), 500ml of water (normal temperature) and 50ml of vinager (you have a better dye release when the environment is more acid). Let it rest for 4 to 8 hours, depending on the weather temperature, away from light (cause light degrades the pigment) and coverd (cause oxygen also degrades the pigment). Then, leave it in my head for 3 to 4 hours. Always works very nicely. Never goes away, never fades.

So I used henna for 4 hours and it was too copper. But as soon as I rinsed it out, I used the same leftover henna batch on the front part of my hair line for 30 extra minutes. Rinsed out then used indigo for two hours, On the parts where I did the second (30 min) henna, my hair is still dark. .. everything else, henna and indigo washed out and became very light. This was also the first time I did NOT use heat…and also the first time the color faded…So heat cap seems to be key for grey to black in my experience.

How long does this coloring process last?

[@sylmarie6494]

It depends on how often you wash your hair and how fast your hair grows. This will determine how long it lasts.

[@HennaSooq]

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 lays 4-6 weeks but depends on hair growth. People choose henna hair dye as they do not want to use chemicals so this is a true natural alternative.

[@everadaypeoples]

I started using henna/indigo treatment because of Natural85 a few years ago because I trust when she recommends products. I don't mind the amount of time it takes to do this process. However, I stopped using b/c I have STUBBORN grey hair. I mean after doing this long process only to have the greys in the front still be there was soooo frustrating. I am going to try this process of adding indigo to the henna and then doing the indigo treatment. I am really hoping this works.

Is there any other way you can darken grey hair if you don't have indigo powder?

[@CynsCorner]

Does washing the hair with baking soda beforehand cleanse it thoroughly enough? I've been having the issue with a hendigo treatment fading at the roots in less than a week. And even with a recent two-step, the indigo has already started to fade at the roots in less than a week, though it does look a tad better than the hendigo result. But still, it's not very long and it's annoying.

[@HennaSooq]

yes that can help open your hair up for some people for sure. You may want to make sure you aren't using any products or cleansers that take color out as well. Indigo can be tough to bind for some and require a few layerings/applications.

[@Nessa2Bea]

Hi Khadija, thank you for sharing your expertise with us! Can you use henna and indigo on keratin/brazilian treated hair?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. Yes, you may do so since our products are safe with chemicals.

Thank you for this video! Can I used egg in the mixture to help my hair stay healthy?

[@HennaSooq]

Eggs will dilute the color results and make more protein.

Hi again. My question is: How much indigo do you use for bra strap length and burgundy tones?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. For bra strap length, 150-175 grams.

Hiiii!! 😀😀😀😀Thank you so much for this video!!! Question for you. What if the 2nd step organic indigo powder that you added salt and water to doesn't turn indigo color before you apply it on the hair??? 😥😭😭😭😭😭 Usually, the indigo powder turns indigo/bluish within 10 mins of mixing the indigo powder, salt and water, however, this time it remained green at the time of application on my hair. I didn't cover the mixture at all with plastic wrap to allow for dye release before applying it on my hair.🌐Will it still turn my hair black? Thank you so much if you can reply. 😊🙏

[@TheoryOfAll]

Put Black Strap Molasses on your hair. It will make grey hair go away. Because of the copper.

Hello, and thank you for this video. My hair is light brown and I have greys. I want to use henna to get rid of the greys but I don't want my hair to be black! Should I use henna only without the indigo? Or is it healthier for my hair to use the indigo? I will also be adding in the aloe vera powder for moisture. Is there a brand you recommend or is that something you don't prefer to do?...recommending, that is...

Hello! You can only achieve black color if you a two-step process with henna and indigo. Can you let us know what color would you like to achieve? It's also light brown?

Eating more nutrient rich foods and vitamins, avoiding unprocessed will ward off grays to color and benefits the whole body.

Hi, can I use henna+gloss hair mask for this recipe? Is it ok to mix this mask with indigo? Thanks.

[@HennaSooq]

You can use a henna gloss as a conditioning strengthening treatment but not for coloring with indigo. A gloss is too diluted to get proper color coverage with indigo.

Jesus is not the way to haven! Please read the quran in chapter 5 verse 116 And ˹on Judgment Day˺ Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you ever ask the people to worship you and your mother as gods besides Allah?” He will answer, “Glory be to You! How could I ever say what I had no right to say? If I had said such a thing, you would have certainly known it. You know what is ˹hidden˺ within me, but I do not know what is within You. Indeed, You ˹alone˺ are the Knower of all unseen.

It wastes more time if you are telling people to do the indigo again, for the second time. It doesn't save time as you claim in the video. It's better just to do the 2 step process from the beginning. It saves more product. It saves more time. It saves more money.

The higher quality henna and indigo don't require you to do a double even if you have stubborn and thick grey hair. Just do henna alone, and then indigo alone. Works well, if you use high-quality products. I haven't used Henna Sooq, but I use a different brand.

[@HennaSooq]

Thanks for the tips!

[@laideyongo6178]

Hi Khadija. Learnt a lot from you. I have been using henna to cover my grey hair for awhile now. Lately I did a braid out with hair attachment. I noticed my hair became more brittle after loosening my hair. Left the attachment on my hair for about a month. My hair is naturally soft and a bit curly. Lost quite a bit of hairstrands while loosening it. How do I restore my hair besides using henna.?

[@Bri-nc8yp]

When you use Henna and Indigo you need to deep condition with heat after!!!!! If you are a black woman with natural hair 4C … then you need to deep condition with heat for 30-45 minutes after finishing your henna out or your hair will break off. Then wash out your deep conditioner and add a leave in then a cream and last Oil to seal everything in. LCO method. Then put your hair back in your protective style. I do this method and my hair is growing extremely soft and strong..:no breakage…and my new growth has been crazy.
