How to Mix Henna for Hair with Amla and Aloe - Color, Hair Growth, Moisture

New Year. New Hair. New Goals.
We're stepping into 2020 with a new focus on healthy hair care classes, a 6 week regimen course and memberships.
Today, I'm bringing you the very first video for 2020 on how I personally mix my henna for hair recipe. I like to keep it simple and focused on what I want to achieve. This recipe will get me the color I need and coverage for my greys.
By adding amla powder I promote hair growth, volume and define all my hair strands. I want softer moisturized hair strands so adding in aloe vera powder is a must.
This is my recipe:
- 200 grams of Organic Rajasthani Indian Henna
- 3-4 tbsp of Organic Amla Powder
- 2-3 tsp of Organic Aloe Vera Powder
Mix all the powders really well and then I added warm to hot distilled water.
I allowed it to sit for a few hours (3-4 hours) for dye release and once it was ready I applied it to my hair and left it in for 3-4 hours.
Watch the whole video so you can see additional tips at 8:10 on checking for dye release and also at 8:50 for a time saving tip.

I tried adding amla to my mix of herbs I used to cleanse my hair. I’m SO IN LOVE with my results. The curl definition is OFF THE CHAIN AND POPPING. I was thinking “Amla where have you been all my life?!” 😍

[@HennaSooq]

YES!!!! Another herb that's a major game changer! So happy to hear.

[@sunflower6107]

@seer Channah and @hennaSooq...Can you share how you use herbs to cleanse hair? Is it added to shampoo or cowash

[@seerchannah102]

@@sunflower6107 I mix herbs with warm water, and aloe Vera powder and mix until I get a runny paste. Add the mix to my wash bottle. I use the mix to shampoo my hair. Rinse that out. I use a cowash after to make sure I get all the clay out. I know when all the clay is out when my cowash doesn’t foam like a shampoo.

My hair loves Red Raj. I love the way it changes the color of my greys to red. I actually like mine to be a little thick because I sleep in it and it doesn’t run.

[@HennaSooq]

Yes me as well! One of my faves. That makes so much sense. The thicker it is at least it won't run down the back of your neck or sides. Even people who are a little more on the warm side, it can run on them slightly.

I love doing henna on my hair, but had never used aloe vera powder. I will need to try this.

[@toyacraig3843]

Hi! Great video! I just looked at it and have a question. With the mix you have is that to dye your hair brown? Or is your hair black and you are just covering greys? I have some sprinkled grey in my hair and wondering if it would work for me. My hair is dark brown (looks black). Thanks!

[@jcee8493]

That is sooo much henna, how much hair DO you have? I wish I was in your friend circle, with just us woman together than I could marvel over your hair, lol. :o) And then I'd get you to do mine. I am just getting back into using henna after not having done so in over 15 years, everything has changed (including my hair). I managed to find the product I used to use on amazon and bought 6 boxes just because they were familiar but then I found this channel and see that there is so much more I could be doing.

[@goldexperience6072]

As for metal bowl/utensils I always use them too as won't be dyed by the henna. Never had any issue & people comment on my hair thinking it s conventional hair dye then ask what do I do as it rarely fades & seems to have slight highlights where my hair s lighter . Always tell everyone to use henna ,of course it doesn't lighten hair & colour s quite permanent.

[@TracyD2]

Thank you I’m excited to see what you have store for the coming year. It’s time to do my grays as well. I think I will try the henna you just used. I normally use the red raj which I love by the way.

[@HennaSooq]

Welcome and thank you so much! We're definitely really excited!!! I normally use Red Raj too but this time wanted a little more burgundy. We may have run out of it online. Do call in your order as we have a small amount brought in from our Baltimore location. Our number at Henna Sooq is 410-579-4543.

[@jmason1770]

​@@HennaSooq I was just going to ask if I can use Red Raj instead. I'm glad to see that you normal use Red Raj. Once tame my greys, I might try your recipe with Rajasthani henna for a little burgundy. Can this mixture be frozen?

[@ruchisistu8918]

You inspired me to switch to organic products 😊 I am new to this and have used chemical dyes for 10-12 years. This made 80% of my hair gray and I am only 40 years old and loose my hair in chunks with each chemical color application.. I have resistant hair so tried the 2 step process at the gap of a week but still did not get soft black tone. Pls suggest if applying henna/ indigo at a gap of one week is advisable until I achieve the desired tone ?

[@HennaSooq]

Happy New Years!! Thank you so much. I've always loved KZbin. It's a bit of an addiction. :) Moroccan henna tends to be a bit more coppery so not sure if it would tone down the red. Have you tried adding amla to tone down the red of the Red Raj? What are you trying to achieve?

[@teresamichele4747]

I have now been using Moroccan henna few times and I’m in love 😍 lol yes I tried amla I’m not sure if I did it wrong but it dried out my mix Moroccan henna mix with aloe Vera powder and I dried my hair instantly that I had to wash it out immediately however I loved it after a few days after moisture was restored. I’m just kinda scared to try again maybe my hair didn’t like it at first? I would love to be able to find a way to use amla. Love henna sooq so much! :)

[@Juliet42110]

Hello, Which of your henna powders would you suggest for getting gray coverage on hair that is dark brown and the rest 25% gray? I'd like my grays to have a highlighted light brown look compared to my dark brown hair. I'd also like as little red as I can get (I know it can't fully be avoided, but as little red as is possible with henna). I'm excited to make a purchase from you guys! Thank you!

[@HennaSooq]

I think for you our moroccan henna and indigo would work really well. The highlighted area would be possible but if you keep coloring all of your hair, then those lighter areas will get a little darker over time. We hope this helps! Thank you as well.

Happy New year!!! What's the combination of red raj and amla for a brown reddish tent on grays. On my regular henna its 1 to 2 ratio of henna and indigo. Do I need indigo to get the same color or can amla get the job done?

[@HennaSooq]

Happy New Year!! Amla doesn't really make it brown. It tones it down slightly but you'll need indigo to achieve a reddish brown which is typically created with 3 parts henna to 1 part indigo. You can add a small amount of amla to the henna to tone it down a little bit.

[@bdm72257]

@@HennaSooq I went ahead and did mine before you commented. So Sorry! But, i did 3 tablespoons of red raj, 2 tablespoons of alma, and 1 tablespoons of aloe vera powder. I did 2 tablespoons of indigo, which I didn't put in the henna mixture until after the dye had released. I let it set in my hair for 3 hours. The color of my darkest hair came out dark brown and my grey came or reddish, not orange, but red highlights which I'm okay with. I just didnt want orange greys. Once it settles in a few days I'll really get a better look. Also, my hair has never ever been this soft and manageable after henna treatment! I love how my hair feels! But, I did do a co-wash with your co-wash and it washed all the softness away and I got scared. So I just put some conditioner in it and it came back soft. Should I co-wash the henna out or not? I felt like I undid all my hard work, until I put the conditioner in. Then my hair felt soft again, but not as soft. Help!!! Lol! Loved the combination so much though!!!! Also I loved the shampoo bar!!! And I meant to tell you that I think you gave me an extra co-wash. If it was a gift, thank you!

[@TheLynn711]

My hair became dark rich purple , not a real bright purple but it was a beautiful shade of dark purple that looked great on me because growing up my natural color was light black... I was getting compliments from people even older women but it was attracting too much attention . I honestly can't remember if I had any other hair color on with it .

Happy new year, Khadija! It is always awesome to watch and learn from videos. My grey hair are so stubborn especially the side burns that they don't colour with henna alone and if they do they appear very brassy and yellow.. although I use Rajasthani Henna. So what is the best way to use indigo with henna to get the desired dark brown colour?

[@HennaSooq]

Happy New Year! So great to her from you. Oh the sides and the edges are the worse. First we have to fix your Rajasthani Indian henna. That tone you get shouldn't be happening at all. What percentage of greys do you have? What is your exact Rajasthani Indian henna recipe? Do you keep it very simple or add other ingredients? The amounts of other ingredients must be kept low in order to get max results from henna. Your henna recipe has to be strong first before using indigo. But once the henna is good then you would use 3 parts indigo to 1 part henna for dark brown.

[@FadedOwl84]

Happy New Year Khadija🤗 Lovely and informative video as always. Just wondering are any of the products hard to get out of locs/dreads? For example the glosses. I'm worried about build up. I tried searching for people that use hennasooq. Unfortunately can't find anyone. Been with you for so long. Much love and appreciation for all you do.

[@HennaSooq]

Hi! So great to hear from you. Some products can build up. The glosses do have heavy butters. Do you have a clarifying treatment that you use regularly? Our shampoo bars are great for locs as are our new Hair Tea Rinses. You can also make your herbal recipes more liquidy and wash it all out easier. I did a clients hair with a full henna treatment recently too. The video is on our IG channel here and this is the direct link: instagram.com/p/B37XI1Sh17a I hope this helps.

[@akwaabab8504]

question: i do the two step process to cover gray. would i add amla and aloe vera powder to the indigo as well or just the henna?

[@HennaSooq]

Hi! Only to the henna for the amla powder as indigo doesn't like it but you can add aloe vera powder to both henna and indigo. Just make sure it's no more then 5% of the total powder you're using.

[@niche_ita]

Can I use fresh aloe Vera pulp instead?

[@HennaSooq]

@@niche_ita Yes you can if you don't have the powder form. The pulp can dilute the color more then the powder would.

Hey Khadija..forgive if i misspelled...is it for cultural reasons on why we can't see your beautiful hair?..i know it's beautiful...but i was just watching a video of yours about using henna..oh well this video.. and i got really excited thinking i was about to see you apply to your hair and i was sadly mistaken but i definitely understand and respect if it's for cultural reasons or even if you just didn't wanna...lol..if there is a video explaining please direct me...I'm gonna call you on Monday because i have questions on how to dye using th cassia obovata with henna to get a strawberry blonde..i need help on how to mix..whether together or separately and exactly how much of each to use on my hair and which henna to use..i got a few or couple i received from henna sooq..but have no idea howto do much and henna tv is confusing remember i told you that i now suffer from Neuro issues includes remembering and restraining info...so maybe i can catch you on Monday at a slow time and i can write down instructions directly from you verbally..I'm hoping..and for your info..i have medium brown hair naturally with grey temples and on inside of hair, i have type 3 curls..lol...like literally all 3a..3b..and 3c curls..it is the longest it's ever been... waist length in it's curly state..that was my goal and I'm able to retain my length through your glorious luxurious products now..initially my local Indian store Namaste assisted me to my goal and i thank them for that.. and nowI'm relearning new things with your products and I'm having a bit of a learning curve moments..oh the rest of my hairdemographics are that most of my life my hair was naturally high porosity but currently my porosity is changing and had been one area being low and majority is now normal porosity. My main cultural background is Mexican and African American as well as American Indian and Asian..so you can kinda get a visual...😉 i have a few questions, and one specifically is when i was using the amla from indian store, the little box stated 100g was enclosed and i always used all of it and saturated my hair..it was always just enough formy current length of hair now my question is many of the recipes statethat for tailbone to hip bone length, 300g of any ayervedic herb powder used is needed...how accurate is this?..oh and i have normal densityand my individual strands are medium or normal thickness. Hopefully you or someone on your staff reads this and gets it to you by or before monday 8/24/20.love you all at henna sooq💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 Trina Morales

Can you used aloevera juice or tea?

[@HennaSooq]

Yes you can do so. It can just alter the color though slightly, if you use those instead of water and/or aloe vera powder.

[@kathleenharris8824]

Hi! If you have resistant grey hair and want to dye it black can you skip the indigo part? Can you just use the: henna, amla, and aloe vera?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. No because those herbs don't color the hair black. It's indigo that makes it black.

[@monikavijay3665]

Can i take iron pot. Banana bhi add kr sakte hain

[@HennaSooq]

Sure if you'd like.

[@moonaaxo]

Can I use aloe vera gel instead of powder?

[@nitasimpson1792]

U was wondering the same thing. I am going to used fresh aloe gel from the leaf n mix it with the distill water she recommended along with some rose water, alma powder and fenugreek. In my Henna. I am also going to use my seamoss mix with the liquid. My hair is very absorbent n i use all those to help with the moisture and detangling. Rather than use coffee that some have used. I am going to use grapfruit green tea to help boost the color adhesion; all these will help with the stubborn grey, moisturizing n overall health if hair. I will also add the Indigo to the henna amd again for the 2 step process for optimal black color n grey coverage. I will the henna on for 6 hours then let the Indigo sit overnight (or minimum of another 6-8 hrs).

[@Fashionpreneurondemand]

I thought the dye release( lawson dye) is what that strengthens your hair . So i thought regardless if you want color you needed to wait for the dye to release ? Which is it ?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. No you don't need to wait for dye release to get the benefits of the strengthening of henna. Dye release is only important for color results. You can mix it up and use it right away if color results is not a concern.

[@Fashionpreneurondemand]

@@HennaSooq Thankyou for that clarification.

[@HennaSooq]

@@Fashionpreneurondemand Welcome!

[@keke6924]

The more you know!

[@keke6924]

@@HennaSooq How long would you need to leave the henna on for the strengthening benefits only?

[@Fashionpreneurondemand]

You guys said not to use metal appliances & utensils in other videos. I thoight bamboo bowls or pther types of utensils were safe for the product?

[@HennaSooq]

Not in our videos. I don't recall ever saying that. Do you mean, you guys, like me, Khadija, specifically? Professionally speaking you can use stainless steel, ceramic/glass, or plastic. I wouldn't recommend wood as it's porous. Some clients also use silicone. As long as the henna and herbs are pure it won't conflict with metals as ours contain no metallic salts, no compound henna nor additives. Hope this helps.

[@Fashionpreneurondemand]

@@HennaSooq I watch curly Proverbs videos and i know that she is a brand ambassador for you. And she is the 1 who educated me on henna sooq and you guys have collabed for years. So any information she says in here videos i utilize . so if it doesn't match your videos. It's concerning. Both of you educate& practice ayurvedic.

[@Fashionpreneurondemand]

@@HennaSooq Also she did a video called " add these ingredients to boost your henna recipe" , and one of those were " lemon" , where i heard you say in 1 of your videos " do not add lemon , its very drying to the hair. So the consistency is a little off id say and i want to ensure im using the products correctly . :)

[@HennaSooq]

@@Fashionpreneurondemand Please note she has not always worked with us. She has only been working with us recently like in the last maybe 8 months. So whatever she may have done before or however she may have used henna, is also at her own choice. We give professional advice but clients and BA are free to ensure they use our brand in the way that works best for them. I speak in our videos on what we do professionally and in the salon setting. I do appreciate your feedback and concern.

[@HennaSooq]

@@Fashionpreneurondemand I'm not sure. She has a lot of videos. Maybe she did but again I don't know nor monitor how she decides to use henna. It's up to each person to find out what works best for them. We always side on the cautious side, and use basic liquids such as warm to hot water because this works for the majority without issues and again we're in the salon setting so this is very convenient and practical. I would definitely recommend that when using our products to ideally follow the directions we provide primarily as your go to and from our website at www.HennaSooq.com under the Henna 101 tab on our site. Good news though too, is that we are going to be created a one on one course with Curly Proverbz about Henna Hair Coloring and this is all brand new updated content, where in this course, we are definitely creating it together and she is using our recommended methods. We hope it launches around end August to beginning September. :) Thank you for letting us know and we hope this clears up any confusion.

[@PS-mt5rp]

I want those Grey's to turn brown I saw people using lemon juice and coffee would that turn the stubborn gray brown

[@HennaSooq]

Lemon juice can be pretty drying. The best way to get brown tones is to use 50/50 henna and indigo.

[@Anna-zg5pw]

Please ma, does henna make your hair black or it only makes your hair brown

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. It can also make your hair black and it requires a two step process with henna and indigo.

[@roarmarvel2241]

can we add acv into henna mix?

[@goldexperience6072]

Yes you can but it s too smelly & drying for the hair and irritates scalp. Suggesting warm teas instead like black /green/rooibos or chamomile maybe with a bit of Amla

[@sabrinacambridge3327]

How can you use a metal bowl? I thought henna and metal dont mix

[@HennaSooq]

You can safely use stainless steel. Our henna products are raw natural ingredients without any additives, metallic salts or chemicals that conflict with any type of metal. Also when you think about all the manufacturing overall of products we use stainless steel because it's way more sanitary. All of our machines that touches the henna products we make, like the gloss bars, masks, are all created within a stainless steel mixer.

[@seerchannah102]

What ingredients should we not want in our Ayurvedic herbs if we don’t buy yours? I have also heard not to use metal mixing utensils.

[@HennaSooq]

Honestly I'm not really sure exactly which brands contain those ingredients we have to avoid as I really focus mainly on what we get and import in. Maintaining high quality standards and purity. Just read the ingredients and make sure it's 100% pure. Sorry couldn't be of more help but do hope this helps some.

[@sabrinacambridge3327]

Is the distilled water hot?

[@HennaSooq]

Sabrina Cambridge between warm to hot. Just not boiling.

[@PS-mt5rp]

Yes but I want the color to be brown does coffee work

[@HennaSooq]

Coffee slightly tones it down.

[@TanglesunTamed]

How do you condition your hair to avoid be dried out after henna application? How do you take care of your hair after henna?

[@HennaSooq]

Adding aloe vera for sure helps with the moisture. Applying hair oils and leave ins after will help as well. Have you tried those?

[@TanglesunTamed]

HennaSooq Yes. I bought your aloe powder and it is a God send. And so are you. I use it in my deep conditioners even when I’m not using henna 🌺 Thank you for the information 💕

[@HennaSooq]

@@TanglesunTamed Welcome!! Thank you so much.

[@piajackson8441]

Hi I use to use henna but I dont want the color it leaves on all my grays. I would like a darker color to cover my grays, do you have any suggestions? Indigo maybe? Can you use everything you are using with indigo? Coverage and conditioning and growth is what I need.

[@HennaSooq]

Hi! Yes you should definitely use indigo with your henna. Yes everything I used in this video will work with indigo. You just have to decide how much indigo you want to add. 50/50 will be a standard brown tone.

[@piajackson8441]

Hi can I mix henna and cassias and Amal since I have a blond hair and some gray. And what is the expecting shade that I might get?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. What tone are you hoping to color your hair? Henna will definitely deposit an orange to red shade. Is this what you're looking for?

[@7candles179]

HennaSooq I wish I can get ash or honey tone. I don’t want orange or red☹️

[@zencarpediem3733]

I understand that it is possible to get lighter blondish tones using Cassia, and brown tones using Amla. I have not yet tried this to cover greys but will be soon. Khadija's website, hennasooq.com under "henna-101"has some very helpful blog posts about achieving different colours/tones using different herb blends.
