[@rebeccacoddington4402]

I use amir's black henna. I leave it on for 4 hours. It comes out to be the blackest black. I love it!

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

yes, the longer I leave it in, the better my results too.

[@kookloo]

Ms. Selena, we love your content and have shared it to our own video sharing platform Kookloo. Keep creating!

[@hannahr.n.5791]

Best video yet and your hair looks so nice. Thank-you!

[@Athena-kl7oj]

I love the way you style your hair omg. You're so lovely

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Thank you so much!!

[@JUSTBEINGPATTI]

Thank you. I thought it would be a complicated process according to the directions, but I am seeing it is more simple than I thought. Your hair came out very nice. I hope to try mine today.

[@Leila655]

You have such pretty skin! I'm going to try the dark brown for gray coverage and your review helped me make up my mind!

[@judywebb8095]

Great video …. I just bought this and about to try it

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

I hope you like it. It's my quick option when I don't want to use the henna and then indigo separately.

[@annettecocks5236]

Very beautiful I absolutely love I herb will give it a go thanks so much from Australia

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

You’re welcome. I still use this product too. I like to keep it on as long as I can for even better results.

[@aidabeyene6834]

Love this brand of Henna, I use chamomile tea and 1 egg.

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

I will be applying this again real soon too 👍🏽

[@peregrinefalcon6747]

What does the egg do?

[@nikiramos8974]

I really enjoyed your tutorial. It was a lot more understandable than other videos I’ve been watching about Henna. Two questions...did it cover your greys? Also, how often do you need to touch up this particular product? Thank you for great information! -Niki-

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, this product does cover greys and I normally do it about 4 to 6 months, but it really depends how quickly your hair grows. Sometimes I can go as long as 8 months.

[@shivammagotra1636]

Hi I’ve greys on my beard and head, can I apply this to my beard as well? And what would be the instructions to do so?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

I would not suggest using this product on your beard. There must be better options for that these days. Happy holidays and take care.

[@merry3355]

Hi .i want to cover my gray hair specially infrontof of my hair . so how can i use it pls can u tell me thanks !!

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Hello! If you follow this video, I will show you how to use it. Mix this product with warm water and apply it to your gray hair and the entire head and let it sit for 2 hours. Then rinse out with shampoo. It rinses better that way for me. However, I will say, if you start to use this natural hair dye, it is not recommended to use the box kind you see in your local stores like CVS, Walgreens, etc. because it may conflict with each other.

[@TheProcessLife]

@@SelenaThinkingOutLoud What if I already have a dark brown in my hair and want to use this to dye it black? Will it take?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

TheProcess Life If you already have a store-bought dye in your head, I would recommend that you let that fade out first. Once you decide to use henna/indigo plant dye it is what you have to use moving forward and the color will darken after each application.

[@TheProcessLife]

@@SelenaThinkingOutLoud Thank you...

[@LindaLights]

Excellent review with a lot of detail. Thank you so much.

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Linda Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad that I could give a genuine review. I just ordered two more of the Black from iHerbs so I'm still using it. It simplifies the coloring process for sure. I hope you have good results if you decide to try it. Make sure to put enough on your roots before working it to the ends of your strands of hair. Happy coloring!!

[@irishmuscle7352]

Hi there, did you let let the mixture sit for a few hours or did you use it straight away?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

I recommend that once you put your water in the mixture use it immediately. It will turn black as it cools.

[@irishmuscle7352]

@@SelenaThinkingOutLoud Thanks 👍

[@جوندو-ق4ض]

Thank you for the video 😊. From your experience If I make more than I need how long can I store it for ?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

You’re welcome. I normally use it in one session. If there are any remaining I usually throw it away since the water activates the plant-based dye.

[@fr514]

Hi Selena, does it fade? Did you notice? I've only tried Lush henna (noir) which didn't latch onto my hair at all!

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

I didn’t notice the color fading as far as going from a rich black color, to a dull black. However, the more you wash your hair and if you have grey hair, is how you can measure how long the color will last. I would keep this in your hair as long as you can. Sometime, I go overnight. It’s the quick dye process if you do not want to use henna first then the indigo in two separate applications. (I use Hannah Natural brand for both on Amazon) If I want to get my hair done quickly I use this product but the two-step henna and indigo process last longer to me. I use both ways depending on time and also how I feel. I haven’t heard of Lush henna so that is good to know. Best regards.

[@Will_b_Adventures]

Thank you for your response. I'll let you know the results.

[@Will_b_Adventures]

I hope you see my comment. Just ran into your video. I want to try coloring for the first time quick question, did you wash your hair before applying henna?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Yes, you must have clean hair, free of any oils or build up. Your hair does not need to be completely dry.

[@2502860]

How long did you let sit on the bowl before applying to hair

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

After you mix this product you want to use it immediately. You will notice that it blackens more as it sits in the bowl, but most importantly, it’s ready to be applied right after you add the warm water. I also like to add oils to it too, olive oil, etc. Happy holidays!

[@2502860]

@SelenaThinkingOutLoud applied to hair after the mix and let it stay over an hr. I didn't wrap my head with anything. Over an hr it turned a bit black but Still some green. The results of some of the white hair turned green. I also noticed in the plastic cup the left over turned black but the inside was still green. When I stir with the spoon I can see green again.

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

@@2502860 the longer you keep the mixture in your hair the more it will set. It’s okay if the mixture is still green a bit because your grey hair should tint. I have found that this product is best used over time. When I use it I like to keep it in my hair for longer than 1hr and 15 mins (75 mins), sometimes overnight. I do wrap my hair to lock in the heat so it can process faster as well. I do recommend doing this. You can use plastic wrap for this too. All the best!

[@2502860]

@@SelenaThinkingOutLoud I did keep it over an hr may be close to 1.5hr. The mixture was already harden. I also saw a video about using indigo after applying the main mixture. What u think about that

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

@ I haven’t tried Indigo after using this product so I don’t want to advise you incorrectly. Indigo is in this product already which creates the black, so I don’t think it would hurt, but I haven’t tried it that way. I use this product by itself. When I have more time, I apply henna first, let set and rinse, and then apply indigo, let set and rinse, both boxes are by Hannah Natural found on Amazon, both 100% pure.

[@jameekalatimer2070]

Was your hair washed before you started the henna?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Yes, I washed and dried my hair first, as instructed on the packaging, to have a clean head to start the process. 😊

[@leila8325]

Do you remember where you got the henna from?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Here is the direct link to the black and there's brown and some others too - www.iherb.com/hair-coloring?rcode=dpv679

[@AnneteAnu]

You can buy it from Whole Foods or Amazon

[@jacquelinel3081]

Can i use it to cover white hair

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Yes, but I would recommend using Henna first, then Indigo, which will do much better for covering white hair. I use this when I want to be lazy, but still get most of my grey hairs.

[@nohaf1618]

@@SelenaThinkingOutLoud how to use indigo and can I use henna in dark brown or black ?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

@@nohaf1618 this specific product already has the Indigo in it so it will make your hair turn black. It’s good for covering grays, but I recommend leaving it on for 2-3 hrs. It comes in brown and in other colors as well.

I used the red henna from rainbow but I want to chemically dye my hair, can you dye over it?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

I'm not sure, but make sure to read the brochure that's wrapped around the bottle.

[@christinahart9352]

I use Rainbow Research red henna and you /can/ dye over it fine since RR doesn't add any metallic salts, but you /cannot/ bleach out henna without severely damaging your hair. Henna is very hard to get out. There is an oil pulling method that doesn't damage but I'm not very familiar with it.

[@CC-qt3rl]

Thank you

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Happy to help!

[@chee-chee9916]

Great job!

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Thank you! I actually still use this one-step plant-based hair dye if I’m limited on time.

[@sdgtamizhan]

100% Natural and ammonia / ppd free hair dye ??? skin black marks any problem free hari dye please reply

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

It's just 100% plant-based, nothing else.

[@BrindyBree]

Did this damage your hair ? Cause breakage and dryness??

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

No, this product is plant-based hair dye, with no chemicals. I’ve never had an issue with breakage or dryness.

[@morrisuddin3634]

Can men use it?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Yes, men can use it too.

[@3myshnabo]

Unfortunately I used light brown henna color form this brand but it doesn’t color the white hair and the worse the color convert from white to yellow

[@strawberrybanana165]

How do you know that? The ingredients are literally just henna & indigo?

[@nelliecharles5153]

Tried that henna one time did not work for me

I still use this when I want a quick application without doing the two-step process of henna, then applying Indigo to get a rich, black, color. I understand what you're saying.

Amazing Review, well done !! how long does it LAST on your hair ?? and where can i buy locally..??. I WANT this!!

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

The wear is going to vary depending on how often you wash your hair and work with your hair. I wash my hair once a week and it lasted a good 3-4 months at a time for me or longer b/c my hair is already a dark brown. The black last long. If you're looking to cover up Grey hair then that will vary with how fast your hair grows. I always purchase it online so I'm not sure about locally.

[@richisteeful]

I follow all your steps but the henna just stays green did i do something wrong?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

If you use this all-in-one Henna product, it is OK if it remains green but this black color henna dye does do the job.

[@emmalee757]

Is this permanent or semi permanent?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

This is a semi permanent hair color. There are no chemicals, just from plants. You mix it with warm water to get a ketchup consistency then apply.

[@emmalee757]

Selena Thinking Out Loud ok thanks

[@TheProcessLife]

@@SelenaThinkingOutLoud Why did you use tea instead of just water?

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

TheProcess Life Hello! The tea helps to deepened and enrich the black color, but you can use water instead.

[@TheProcessLife]

@@SelenaThinkingOutLoud No I want mine deepened too so I will follow suit lol... thank you for your feedback. Great review. I purchased mine today 😁

[@p2clayborn]

I used this on my husbands beard it turned his beard green. What did I do wrong? Help!!

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

It' turned his beard green? Is his hair blonde? My hair was a dark brown before I tried this and it turned it black. That is odd. I'm so sorry about that.

[@p2clayborn]

We did another application. Came out fine. Thank you!

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

Oh, wow, okay! Great news! You're welcome.

[@DalazG]

I'm a little confused by this. I thought henna is supposed to be more reddish and used separate. Indigo is more greenish and reacts with the henna and should be used after it. But the powder with this brand looks straight up like indigo (but called henna) so seems like it wouldn't work

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

The henna and indigo are combined in this product and darkens the hair or grey hair if that’s what you’re looking to do. I do recommend leaving it in longer to make sure it processes very well.

[@DalazG]

@SelenaThinkingOutLoud i see. I didnt know they could be used together. Everything I've seen online says henna should be worn for a few hours then apply indigo for a few hours

[@SelenaThinkingOutLoud]

@@DalazG, sometimes I follow that method as well. It depends on how much time you dedicate to your hair day. This product makes the process shorter than the two-step process, but I would still leave it in longer to ensure it processes well.

[@DalazG]

@@SelenaThinkingOutLoud i see. 2 in 1 is a lot more convenient. Will check it out
