How To DYE GREY HAIR with HENNA | DIY HENNA & INDIGO for Natural Hair

[@ReneeBarnettTV]

Question of the Day 🌟Would you try Henna on your hair? What steps did you take to moisturize your hair afterwards? Let me know 💛

[@sara0731]

Yes,,with a hair mask of avocado, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a teaspoon of Hong. your hair will be soft and shiny in just a few hours

[@jamelewiggins7683]

I ABSOLUTELY use henna to cover my grays! I use a myriad of moisturizing products afterward (DC, leave in, stylers). Then the next go round on wash day, I use products that are protein-moisture balanced.

[@ReneeBarnettTV]

@Songbird Wow, that sounds like a great routine. I have yet to try the one step method on myself but I might give it a try in the near future. My hair has really done well with henna and indigo so far though. Thanks for the comment and for watching! ☺️

[@kceeNancy]

Please what is another name for indigo

[@patriciagrullons]

I dye my hair with both as well. One thing that I do differently is that I add Amla to the henna as well and that reduce the tone of the red

[@ReneeBarnettTV]

I will have to try adding Amla, thanks and thanks for watching ☺️

[@KinaStaru]

how long does it last?

[@qoqopepper]

You can also mix henna (after it sets) separately and indigo (+salt) water, mix both and apply to hair and leave in up to 4 hours. One and done.

[@sherriokere1192]

Hey sis I just did a full henna and indigo treatment today. I love the color payoff just not all the time it takes. It always takes time for me to get motivated to do this process because it's an all day situation.

[@ReneeBarnettTV]

Isn’t the color payoff bomb!!! And, i agree the time it takes kinda sucks but i’ve learned to enjoy the process 😂 plus i feel like I’m doing something extra special for myself since its natural 🤣

I tried henna and indigo today for the first time. I let the henna release for about 6 hours and then I mixed the indigo in the henna after letting it sit for just 20 minutes. I left them on for 2 hours and I still can see my gray although not as much. Next time I will let it sit for at least 3 hours

Thanks for watching ☺️

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

Great video, I've been doing henna/indigo on my locs for many years and my greys are at the front and are very very stubborn, lol. So I have to do the 2 step method.

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

I will detail my process, I use warm coconut milk and I mix the henna in an iron vessel. The iron vessel makes the henna more dark instead of red/orange. Coconut milk also gives you almost instant dye release (got this gem from a blog years ago, it was a happy accident discovered when experimenting). I add amla to the mix and for moisture aloe vera powder with a little oil. Once the dye releases, I add indigo. I usually mix it first, but I just saw someone add it directly to the henna mix and cover it for 15 minutes, so I'm going to try this method. I leave the mix on for 4-6 hrs depending on the time of day. I rinse until the water is clear, then I rinse again with a dilution of conditioner and water. For the 2nd step, it's indigo mixed with warm water, salt and aloe vera powder. You can actually apply it to your hair without waiting for the dye release because the colour will release on your hair. I leave this on as long as I'm able, sometimes more than 6 hrs (because, I have very stubborn greys) and it also depends on the quality of the indigo. I rinse until the water is clear, I sometimes use exfoliating gloves to ensure all the powder is off my scalp. I learned a lot from hennasooq and also Indian women because they've been doing Ayurveda for centuries. Hope this helps

Wash, yes. Condition, no. You’ll use the conditioner to help rinse the henna out of your hair after you’ve colored it.

[@Amatullah.574]

​@@denyshadials5702Please explain further dear?

[@denyshadials5702]

@@Amatullah.574 In order to get the most benefits from the herbs, the hair needs to washed/clarified of any buildup. Apply the henna, cover and let it sit for however long you’re going to. Then rinse it and do a couple of conditioner applications and rinses as well to get most of the henna out and your hair rinses mostly clear. If you’re concerned about tangles, then I recommend detangling and loose twisting the section prior to washing. You won’t be able to detangle with the henna because it’s going to clump your curls together. You could also detangle afterwards while you’re conditioning, but it’ll be easier to apply the henna to the roots on mostly detangled hair. That may not be important to you if you’re not doing a color touch up. To each their own.

[@madelinemelocriollo1092]

I love your video. I've used henna and indigo before but I did it all at once. I think I will get better results the way you did it here. Did you wait or dry your hair before applying the indigo or did you apply right after the henna? Can you do it on separate days? I know it's a long process and I have 3 crazy kids so I have to manage my time before I start this myself. Thank you in advance 😊

[@ReneeBarnettTV]

Hi! I did it on the same day in this video and let my hair dry in between applications (my hair actually dries quick lol) I’ve also waited a day or two and it still worked great, yes its a long process but so worth it to me. I probably wouldn’t wait longer than 3 days though 😁

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

Madeline, you can still use your method, just add the 2nd step of applying indigo. If you have stubborn greys, this method works best. So basically the first step will darken the henna with the indigo and the 2nd step of just indigo will hopefully give you dark black.

[@srh14]

Why did you add ACV instead of water? ACVinegar will itch your scalp even more. I add water to henna, it releases the colour well,then I soak it overnight. Next morning I add water to indigo powder, let it soak 30minutes--1hour. Then combine the two, henna mixture + indigo mixture, mix well. Colour. I like the dark hair colour.

Hi! Henna is a permanent plant dye and over time the color will start to fade.
