I go a bit thinner and pour into a repurposed Saracha bottle 👍🏻 Application worked perfectly for me 🧡 Thank you!

[@petronellataube2986]

oh im gonna try that definitely. planning on only colouring my underlayer of my hair with henna. wish me luck lol

[@JuliasHairJourney]

I also go for a runnier henna and apply in the shower. I have no issues rinsing it out this way.

[@doctorfeline9911]

Is the henna too thick for the sriracha bottle?!

Thank you

[@dejanatodorovic8094]

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic and instructive videos. I have started using henna and indigo according to your instructions and I am very satisfied. I have a question, though, about something that is very confusing. From time to time, on the Internet, I find texts that say that henna was originally not used for making hair thicker and healthier, but quite the contrary - to make it thinner. The explanation is that Indian women have very thick hair, so as henna causes hair to fall out it helps them to make it thinner and more manageable. At first I discarded this idea as very stupid, but I would like to hear the answer from someone who really knows about the properties of henna and its use. Thanks!

[@alrobauanshi8795]

My hair was weak and I have hair loss. After five uses The Henna makes my hair stronger and less loss.

[@nelliecharles5153]

Henna preparation

[@sheilawilson8621]

I've just been watching some of your videos, so you may have covered this, but my question is: What is the best shampoo to use after dying with henna? Thx!

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. All of our hair washes, and shampoo bars are color safe with the exception of our Soapnut ones as they are clarifying and should be used before coloring.

[@danas881]

I have to stop being so chicken and do a henna dye 🙏🏾💕

[@deathcador]

can we just store it to use it for later? and if that's possible how to store it without spoiling it? thank you so much for the great content, really appreciate it!

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. You can place it in the fridge for 5-7 days. Please use within 7 days of being made (if kept in the fridge). If you have any leftovers you can freezer for up to 6 months.

[@garimasharma345]

Hi i have been watching your videos that encouraged me to dye my grey hair with heena and indigo powder in two step treatment . I have applied this method 3 times and found out I have stubborn grey hair and indigo dye doesn't stick to my hair even after using heena as first step and washed out completely in first wash. I don't use any shampoo or conditioner even then indigo color wahed down completely leaving only heena color on the hair. Please advise what should I do,.

[@jehonamarku8118]

I have the same issue!

[@nissa4644]

nice

[@HennaSooq]

Thank you xo

[@sabbyk7605]

Thanks so helpful - Question, roughly how long do you let the mixture sit for 'dye release'?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. Every henna powder has its own dye release time (this is the needed amount of time that your henna needs to sit to reach ideal ready to use). Please follow our guide: Moroccan Henna Powder 1-2 hours Red Raj, Rajasthani Indian henna, Jamila, and Yemeni henna 3-4 hours

Do you have to use aloe vera powder or can use aloe vera liquid thanks for the response

[@HennaSooq]

With just henna then yes it’s done and all other he s except not indigo

[@paulinelum4328]

I wish to know can you mix fresh aloe vera to your indigo rather than powder?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. Unfortunately not as the aloe vera gel form doesn’t work well for coloring. The indigo is very fussy and ideally aloe vera powder helps it perform best.

[@Ch.aislePlease]

Has anyone used the steam/heat cap to speed up sitting time? Thanks in advance🙏

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. Yes, you may so do. About 1.5 to 2 hours with heat.

[@Marshpie274]

What do I use dye mine a natural copper please?im dark blonde but it’s gone grey and a murky dark colour now coz of the change of life

[@igorferrraz]

If I don't use all my moisture, can I freeze it and use again in the future?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello, yes you may do so.

[@karenblackwood4157]

How long do you let it sit for dye release ?

[@HennaSooq]

with our henna typically 3-4 hours except moroccan henna 1-2 hours.

Hello. You mean the henna mixture or the powders?

[@debrareed2802]

Would filtered well water work?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. Yes you may try as long as your liquid is warm to hot not boiling but we recommend distilled water as this can be gentle in the hair.

[@chanvichetraban8031]

I have a really dark black hair (never dye before), I want dye it using henna, but I wonder of it show any color at all with lighten my hair first or is there anything I should before dye it?

[@solveigdrekaskot496]

Do not lighten your hair before using henna, it will not react well with the chemicals in nearly any lightener. It will give you a beautiful reddish sheen in the sun but it will likely not show up as vividly indoors.

[@syolyte]

You'll just have a tonal shift of whatever color you go for. Fine for me but I know others won't be happy with just a shift.

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. You can refer to this guide to help you along the way: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/

[@esekedite]

What to do if henna dry out during application?? It takes me an hour to apply 🙈 how much water I should use?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello! Make sure you add enough liquid to make a paste the consistency of pancake batter. We don’t measure as each batch of henna can absorb varying amounts of liquid each time. We hope this helps!

[@Lovestgroup]

Can Hanna go on damp hair?

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. Yes damp hair really helps it go on much easier.

[@leahraeburn5237]

How long for a strongest dye release? X

[@HennaSooq]

Hello. It depends on the Henna that you're going to use from us. Moroccan Henna Powder (1-2 hours) Red Raj, Rajasthani Indian henna, Jamila and Yemeni henna (3-4 hours).

[@hx1487]

I've heard the ideal is 48 h

[@HennaSooq]

@@hx1487 for good henna that's way too long. Good henna really had a faster dye release, max 3-4 hours and it's ready. if you apply it after 48 hours it's been sitting and attracting bacteria as well. The dye won't be as strong cause then it has to be in the hair more time.

[@threetruths123]

How long you been dealing with henna?

Hello. Since 2005. It's been a wild ride!

It's supposed to be used as a paste on your hair, sitting for 2hrs-overnight...you have to use conditioner to rinse it out, and no shampooing for 3 days to allow the color to deepen. You're never supposed to brush it through your hair! Apply it with gloved hands❤
