Your hair came out beautifully! I was using just henna with lemon and chamomile tea, but then I heard that the amla powder would keep my hair from drying as much, as well as keep the curl pattern from loosening. Now I use a package of Light Mountain Red Henna (with the fox on the package) 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 6-7 drops of lavender oil and add Chamomile tea to a yogurt consistency) Then add 1/4 cup of amla powder (mixed separately due to not needing to set-up as long) I blend everything together at the end. I use the whole package of henna, but only use half the mixture to blend with the 1/4 cup amla. (I freeze the other half package to use 5-6 weeks later on the roots and mix 1/4 cup amla in after it has thawed and is ready to apply) My natural hair is dark brown, shoulder length and 30%-40% Grey so I get some really nice "highlights" using the henna mixture. My page picture is a good representation of the color I get now. I love using only natural hair products and I also follow the Curly Girl Method. I would love to have copper color but alas I have such dark brown hair to begin with and do not want to bleach it (ever) Thank you for promoting pure, natural, hair coloring plants and ingredients, people are so afraid of henna and it gets a very bad rap from hair colorists, who want everyone to pay them a small fortune and waste hours in their chair.

[@jaileenvillegas3634]

Kellsey O I have curly hair as well and I’ve been wanting to try henna but i was too scared of loosing my curls cause everyone says that henna loosens up curls. Does mixing amla powder with the henna really help with keeping your curls? I really don’t want to lose my curls lol

@@jaileenvillegas3634 ~ Yes it helps a lot. Just mix it separately and then mix it all together before you apply. I've used henna for years but was not trying to keep my curls before going CGM

@@jaileenvillegas3634 ~ I really like it. I had forgotten how curly my hair was.

There are lots of KZbin videos ....I love Curly Susie ~ She has a whole play list. I use a lot less gel than she does though :)

[@jaileenvillegas3634]

Kellsey O I’m going to try it! I definitely want to improve the health of my curls, how do you brush yours out? whenever i brush my hair i get breakage and split ends

[@jessicah3450]

I mix half body art quality henna, half cassia with filtered water and lime juice (about 3 parts water to 1 part lime juice). In some strand tests, the lime juice gave the henna the most coppery color vs lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. In my experience teas are not acidic enough to make a lasting stain, but I also have very hard water with lime scale (think how Tums neutralize acid) that causes other problems, because henna needs acid. I divide my mixture into single use sized tupperware and FREEZE it. Freezing it bursts the plant molecules, releasing all the lawsone, so once it is thawed out= instant dye release. No guess work on dye release. For roots that have grown out a long time, I apply this mixture as is. For a maintenance "henna gloss", I mix it with an egg. Yes, a simple egg, it's a cheap protein treatment that leaves my hair very soft, shiny, makes the henna go on smoothly, and rinse out easily. I apply the glosses to the length of my hair (mind you, I only have a shaggy pixie cut) when the ends are starting to look less bright. I have naturally light dirty blonde hair (blond with cool grayish tones), and since I have been henna only for over 10 years now, any chemically colored/peroxide treated hair is long gone grown out, and cut off. I end up with an auburn like Amy Pond from Doctor Who for the first few days, then it gradually lightens into a natural copper red like I was born with it. I do shampoo my hair everyday because I have an oily scalp, and I use a clarifying shampoo, which my hair can handle. I have hard water and without clarifying it, it's always taken on a green hue which is due to my natural hair, not the henna's fault. With the henna, this turns it brown, so an acid rinse (apple cider vinegar or citric acid dissolved in water) once a week or a shampoo designed for swimmers takes that mineral build up out.

[@angelahoward3619]

I've been wanting to try something more healthy for my hair, I am a natural redhead but lost a lot of my color after my last pregnancy and started to die it to maintain it. I'm so excited to try your recipe!

[@hellokitty1591]

Yass girl!! You’re back!! Ive tried henna with amla and maybe because my hair was so damaged from bleach, it got a really dark color at the ends, but my roots paid off a really nice auburn color. Now im just waiting for the color to fade off so i can go over everything with henna only, and just henna and amla at the roots to get like a ombre effect. What i did to even out my hair color, was wash my hair a few times with hot water and then went over the ends with artic fox orange sunset and it turned out great! Sense artic fox is vegan and cruelty free, it doesnt have harsh chemicals over all. Since I’ve done henna, my hair looks and feels so full, soft and shiny, i think i wont go back to chemical hair dyes!

[@lifegivingstream]

I just mixed a similar but softer pumpkin shade by mixing 50% cassia, 25%% henna 25% indigo. I just did the new growth on top and it looked like the perfect autumn accent. Would love to see a full head result !

[@zahre_mar]

Your hair colour is amazing! Looks like you've been born with it, great job on the eyebrows as well! Love henna treatments! They helped restore my hair after I lifted chemical red dye from my natural blonde, using ColorOops. Surya Henna discontinued the neutral version since but cassia obovata can be customized with herbs that work for you. Amla is a great choice because it's moisturizing and cooling. Chamomile is nice if you want more golden tones in your hair (also favourable for natural blondes). Try hibiscus tea next time to oomph the reds and boost overall hair growth. Other popular henna boosters are Ingido (blue tones), Red onion skins tea (burgundy brown + hair growth booster) and Coffee or black tea (dark brown). Since I'm blonde, I stick to neutral blends for cassia (amla, shikakai, lavender, chamomile) and I always use an ACV rinse to get residue out of my scalp and the rest comes off easy with a boar bristle brush. ACV should make your hair appear brighter and feel softer, but I like to "seal" all the hard work with oil packs. Nigella, sweet almond, egg yolk etc.

[@bayareababe]

Color oops is a lifesaver when wanting to lighten henna that got too dark. Mine came out to a perfect red that literally looks like it grew out of my head that color. Question though, what measurement of Shikaikai and Amla did you add to your henna mixture to get the golden tones?

[@tbonitabeauty]

A splash of Apple cider vinegar Almond oil or Coconut oil (i'm allergic to almonds sadly) Olive oil & Aloe Vera Gel? I would love to try this at home and see if I could match your color! I naturally have blond hair and have slowly been doing cooper highlight and want to fully commit! But the cost of doing so is so expensive...like $200 or more.

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

I love your beautiful personality and your hair so much. I am so interested reading all these different tweeks and recipes. No bleaches and harsh chemicals. Plant based is best. I used to Henna my long hair for 20 or so years with a Pakistani Henna available in Australia. I have fine hair. It stopped split ends, made my hair stronger and shiny and easier to brush. Most of all I loved the chestnut and coppery tones. I have green eyes and an olive complexion and my favourite colour is green. Red hair looks amazing with that. Since I have gone grey I have reluctantly stopped with the Henna as my temples are white with the mixed silver and natural brown hair for the rest. I am slowly going silver now as the henna grew out years ago. I would still actually like to Henna but I don’t want my temples to go fluorescent, so any recipes or ideas would be appreciated.

Girl same. I used a chemical dye after 2 years of henna only and I was so dang mad that I did it. Back to henna for me. It saved my hair after a colorful hair phase I went through a couple years ago. Try mixing your henna with coconut milk. It’s makes your hair feel wonderful. Nupur, jamilla, and Hannah natural hennas are probably the best I’ve used. All give awesome color to my dark almost black hair so you should get a really heat result.

[@isadaptable7480]

For a slightly darker tone, use less cassia and more henna. Henna naturally goes from copper to deep mahogany, and goes darker the longer you leave it in & the more you use it, so the darker tone may happen just with repeated use...

I use it’s pure Henna very easy product love it

[@wittlecwiten1943]

I wonder how I can get this color when my hair is a little darker brown than yours to start with. Any ideas? I wonder how to lighten first

[@jessicah3450]

Henna can only turn hair redder, not lighten hair. You’d have to bleach it first a few shades lighter, to a medium blond. Don’t worry, the henna will make your hair very healthy and repair damage from the bleach. Use a henna and cassia mixture. If you’re new to henna, there are plenty of premixed henna mixtures on Amazon. Lush is popular, but overpriced and doesn’t give very good long term results. I used the premixed powders for a couple of years before buying the herbs separately to make my own color mixture. Any copper red or strawberry red kit will give this color on medium-dark (dishwater) blond hair. I have naturally dishwater blond hair. The color is also more orange the first few days, especially if it was mixed with a strong acid like lemon juice, but then your actual color will develop. Lemon or lime juice is good for copper and bright reds. Tea is good for hair that may be dried out by lemon or lime juice, but won’t affect the color. The first time that I henna my hair, I also wrap my hair in a plastic shower cap and a hair scarf and sleep with it in my hair. Then wash it out in the morning. That will make the color the most vibrant and long lasting. But you can leave it in 2-4 hours and get good color.

Don’t use bleach. It’s not necessary. Use color oops. As long as the henna you have in your hair doesn’t have metallic salts your good to use color oops. I just did it 3 times in a row to lighten my brown color to a natural red (henna of course) it worked GREAT and NO DAMAGE

[@BauerBeauty]

What if you have blonde balayage??

[@doro1915]

you have so nice red hair..wonderful..😇❤😍 I had also nice natural red hair, have make a stupid expirience. with royal henna black , what I become not out..I want my red hair back..😢 Have you an Idea, how to become back my nice red hair?. with normal henna red its not possible..with the Royal red henna also not..the black color is so strong in my hair..I m so sad..😢

[@bayareababe]

Use color oops. It will lighten that dark you have in there to a natural red beautiful color. As long as the henna you used doesn’t have metallic salts (you used body art quality ) your good to use color oops.

Hi its cassia cinnamon? thanks

[@jennyruiz6533]

I love your videos ❤️😊I’ve been dying my hair with hair dye but the ends seem to not take the color the same as the top do you recommend Henna for getting even hair color throughout hair? Your the one who inspired me to go cooper I love this color 😊❤️

[@CourtneyVioletta]

Henna definitely helps create a more even template! I always had the issue of the ends of my hair not holding color and now they're just as vibrant as the rest! And thank you for watching my videos, I'm so grateful!

[@artemisprokopiou8138]

in order to achieve this hair colour with henna you need to have lighter hair colour like blonde or light brown?

[@Reag713]

Does henna cover your grays on Moroccan henna I want a copper tone

[@summersa12]

I have natural black hair i really want to try Henna but it'll not work for me i am thinking to bleach my hair first.

[@GabrielleSR]

Did you continue with this and find a great recipe?

[@lyssaannschei425]

omg courtney send help!!! i dyed my hair with henna a few months back but i really want strawberry blonde hair now so i don’t know what to do because i don’t want to bleach it but i need to lighten it yikes!!!!

[@hotrodgirl]

I bleached my hair and its bad. I used to use henna and its the best. Why did I ruin my hair But omg my hair is dry , gummy really bad. Can I repair my hair with putting henna

[@Ladynipchick2]

Worried. I've done a 50/50 mix of Henna and Cassia. I know Henna is permanent, but Cassia isn't is it? So will the Cassia part fade out leaving just the Henna at some point in the near future? I really don't want that!

[@helantopia]

what could I use instead of camomile tea? I'm allergic to camomile

[@white-lf5pe]

Marigold tea maybe,lemon tea ??

[@omd0]

How did she make her own henna?

[@sonny505]

is there a way to make it brighter orange (not red)?

[@CourtneyVioletta]

Yeah! Adding more cassia and less henna

[@jorutherford1632]

Try a bleach wash... itl def get brighter

[@Alex347Fin]

can you pleease send me the exact link of products you bought from that website? there's too many of them. I can't find it :\

[@HennaSooq]

Heya! Thanks for the comment. Here are a few links: hennasooq.com/fresh-moroccan-henna-powder/ and hennasooq.com/organic-cassia-obovata/and lastly hennasooq.com/organic-amla-powder/

[@im3gine]

I did my Egyptian henna last wednesday and it's slightly darker than before but I love it ! Like you I don't see myself with any other colour than ginger now ! I don't know if I should colour my eyebrows though. I've never did it before so I'm a bit scared. xD

[@Mariannepiano]

I did use l’oreal to color my hair and it gives me a nice stawberry blond color. Now I would like to switch for henna, but I’m scared the henna will react with the previous chemical. What do you think? Thank you!!

[@CourtneyVioletta]

It'll be totally fine! As long as you use 100% pure henna like the kind from hennasooq or even the lush brand, it doesn't react with chemicals! "Box dye" henna is usually the main issue, they can be found at health food stores and places like that, and they react with chemicals!

[@jorutherford1632]

you can put henna on chemicals... but not chemicals on henna

[@saramadoul8224]

How much did u leave the dye on ure eyebrows

[@kaashkaash8695]

Hi Courtney, I am looking to color my hair with henna. Just as a reference, are you cool or warm undertoned? And by any chance, if you know, soft or bright? xx

[@alicehould4900]

Hi! I have a question do you know which part of your recipe makes your hair a lighter ginger color ? Because I would like a more flashy one but I really like your recipe.

[@CourtneyVioletta]

Cassia makes it more copper! I would play around with the cassia to henna ratio. When I did it, I would use 30% henna : 70% cassia to get a more copper tone!

[@Ladynipchick2]

​@@CourtneyVioletta But in this video you used 50/50 Henna and Cassia. So which is it that you prefer?

[@kjetson3573]

anyone tried this over a mixtue of grey and brown ish hair?
