Today I tried the soft black recipe you suggested in this video and it worked perfectly and a time saver! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Thanks in advance
This was the best henna vid I’ve found so far! Love you and your content 😊❣️🌻
Thank you so much! 🫶
I'm so excited for my henna journey. Thank you for your helpful information!
Yass! We would love to hear your henna journey.
Beautiful and interesting videos…. I’m definitely subscribed! Thanks
This was very informative! Thanks for making this! I’m going lighter with my hair regimen-I used to go jet black but now I’m going dark brown cause it’s closer to my natural hair color
Thank you! This was helpful.
Thanks for excellent tips! 🙏🏻
I did the first step on my grays with the henna step one yesterday. I left it on for 1 and a half hours. My friends showed up in the process so I cut the time down from the 2 hours I had planned, but the results even with the shorter time was perfect. The deep copper color on all the grays that I have taken up about 25-50% of my top of head area and sides, now looks amazing. It shows me I did the first application correctly. I will be applying the second step for Deep Brown this morning with no distractions LOL. I love this natural approach to keeping long curly hair healthy and happy. Thank you for your guidance. No more chemical dyeing for me. Happy Henna Human.
Could you please let me know the outcome of your step2 ?? Did you get the dark brown clour on grey hair using henna and indigo? What was the ratio you used? Thanks so much
I did my first Henna yesterday, but i had a lot of henna left over i covered it and have it in the fridge.
Can someone tell me if it can be stored for a future use or maybe freeze it? Thanks
@@rachel2417 yes, you can freeze it
@@rachel2417this is probably way too late to help, but in the future you can freeze the leftovers *right away* after application. The dye releases/develops the longer it's left exposed to air, even in the fridge. So the leftovers from the fridge, wouldn't be effective to color your hair anymore. The efficacy of the henna starts to decrease after 18 hours of being mixed. Freezing it stops that process from continuing to release the molecules responsible for the color change in the keratin of your hair.
This helped me SO much!!! Thank you!
I love henna sooq (:
My hairline is a bit low and the gray is right on my baby hairs and it’s super SUPER stubborn. Thanks to you, I learned that I should be allowing the indigo to dye release before applying. I was originally told that it should be used immediately after mixing. Since I’m now doing your 2 step dye process, I leave the henna on for 4-5 hours then let the indigo do its thing while I’m sleeping then rinse it out and blow dry. Otherwise the whole wash day is painfully long. Also, if you see this message, your henna is SO MUCH BETTER than the brand I was using before! I bought 5 more when you had your Black Friday sale 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Happy Henna Sooq customer over here. 🙋🏽♀️
Highly informative video. Thank you so much!
I KNEW there was some madscience to this! Not a guaranteed one-off. Thank you.
I had a severe reaction using chemical dye on my beard before travelling abroad. My lower cheeks swelled up, and my cousin was shocked when he saw me at the airport and asked what happened to my cheeks. I have now started using Henna and Indigo (1 step process). The funny thing is when I first applied henna/indigo 1:3 ratio I let the Henna settle in for a full 24hrs as suggested by some youtubers and left it on my hair for 4hrs but that did not have ANY effect on my grey hair at all, even though I had washed and shampooed my hair the day before. However, I used the same Henna/Indigo 1:3 ratio again 4 days later. This time I let the henna settle in for just over 3 hrs before mixing the indigo, did not wash my hair and applied the mix on my dry hair and left it on my hair for only 1hour and 15 mins. Lo and behold the 2nd time it worked very well and covered most (90%) of my grey hair on the top and 80% on the beard.........any thoughts Khadija???
Is the henna making your beard thicker? My boyfriend wants a thicker beard and I wondered if henna might help him.
@@mercedezz It does seem to make it a little thicker compared to when I was using chemical dye. BTW to save time I now use Its pure Henna (very dark brown) as that comes premixed with indigo. This way I don't have to worry about working out the mix ratio of Henna vs Indigo. Very dark brown is just right for my hair and the company Its pure supply it in the UK they are UK based.
@@Papirind26 awesome, thank you for the reply! Does this henna leave you with any red tints? He doesn’t want the red beard he’s blonde but dyes his hair with chemical box dye a light brown color. Thanks for the recommendation on which henna you’re using. He’s a very low Maintenance man so that would work best for him. 🙏🏽🙂
Love your videos 💕💕💕
Thank you!!
I left my henna on for 8 hours... while I slept. I love the results.
Super helpful video
please do a video on natural red/fading red hair and how to achieve red wine, burgundy, mahogany, ECT. Every video I see is for dark hair or some blonde, hair but never natural gingers 😕😔 I will try beetroot, hibiscus, and lemon juice with my henna, and some aloe vera for dryness and let you guys know the results, and we'll see 🙈☺️ because I can't stand the faded red and white hair, it makes me look so much older 😒😑 But I would love to hear from others about their personal experience! ☺️❤️
I'd love to see this too! I'm a fastly fading light red/strawberry blonde. I tried henna 2 years ago, but I did something wrong, it was clown bright. I'd love to see some real ginger revamping!
My mom mistakenly used one of my henna gloss last weekend instead of her cassia gloss. Now her grays look like a light red/ strawberry blonde. Hoping that after a couple of washes she can get her grays back.
Please do a Burgundy or Wine Color video
Chestnut brown. Yeah, that describes it. 🌰
That's my color
Salaams
Thanks a lot for such an informative video. I would like to save this in my playlist but unable to find the save button. Can you please allow that option?
Thanks once again for such valuable guidance and knowledge sharing.
I was very lucky my hair went blue black first go but I had to do henna 4 hours then Indigo for 1.5 hours, wash it out because I couldn't handle it for 3+, then had a break and did another Indigo for 1.5 hours the result was incredible
Ooh I love blue black color. What was ur process to get the blue-black??
How do you dye jet black hair with henna?!?? Please do i video on it !! Thanks Mrs. Lady ❤ I love you Channel. I am learning so much
I develop my henna for about 3 hours and then mix my indigo ...
While that sits i brush my hair, moisten it with some rose water and then mix the indigo with the henna and put it into my hair.
I do add egg and other things to my henna mix just before I apply it
Hi, i thought you mix the henna and let it sit for 3-4 hours. Then mix the indigo but that sit for only 15 minutes. Then you mix both for the auburn color.
Thank you for all your vode Vodes I have reddish brown hair color
I am applying henna indigo mix in my grays. Can u make a video of timing about the mix too?
Hi khathija...thanks...on my first application itself most of the greys got covered well. Im going to do it again next week and hope all the hair gets covered well
Can we use flax seed gel to prepare the indigo paste? I'm assuming it should help extremely dry hair.
Currently watching this video while henna-ing my hair trying to convince myself I’ve had it in long enough… I can never make it the full 4 hours😂
Can you do a video on just copper? I'd love more information. I love your videos thank you.
Try lime juice in your cassia henna mix, that is my favorite acid for copper red.
I did first step,henna only, and i got a copper color. I left it on 3 hours. I did add beet powder and elderberry powder to it.
Hi! I have been colouring my hair copper with henna for months now and I use a very simple mix: just pure Lawsonia inermis (250g for long, thick curly hair), 2 tbsp turmeric to get warmer tones, 2 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp aloe vera gel for hidration and I swap water for black tea to make the mixture acidic and get more of a warm tone again. Super easy, works for me every time!
does it cover grey hair?
I have two coulred hair from previus hairdye know its my naturel hair growth but stil choclate brown on the length. I want a nice copper hair colour can i hair dye my hair with a regular dye to light it up and the use copper henna??
How is auburn is achieved using henna & indigo on grey/white hair?
Thanks ❤️
Welcome!
Thanks 🌷
Welcome 😊
I have very very stubborn gray and I have a lot of it. Do you recommend a heat cap when applying indigo? And if so would you use it for the sane 4 hours or shorter time? Any advice is appreciated. I absolutely love your henna. indigo and cowash. I only use you dyes and cowash. I also use your amla and aloe when mixing my dyes and I still have to do 2 indigo treatments sometimes to get a deep black color.
Hi, please consider adding captions to your videos. Thank you.
thanks 😊 thanks 😊
to get the super black hair color... i leave henna on for 4 hours, then indigo for 4 hours.. how long do i wait in-between those two processes?
I know the hair needs to dry and I am coloring over resistant grays. My last henna treatment was a year ago so its mostly virgin gray hair.
Hi
I heard that some people use turmeric with henna. Does it affect the colour? Is it bad?
Hi there can you please give me a formula on how to mix my henna and indigo to get black hair from Roots to tip please thank you
I leave my henna on for 8 hours ! I've been using Lush henna rouge since 2015 but they've recently changed the formula so I'm looking around for a different brand.
I really liked lush but it was a big effort even in just breaking up the blocks. I've switched to henna guys and like that it's easier and they give a better range of colours.
I use Hesh or Hanna Natural and they too have a range of colors. I use one that comes out a deep berry color.
I loved Lush too! But I will try Hennasoq
If I have only done henna glosses maybe only about 5 in the last 3 years, but I did do one 2 weeks ago. Can I use a rinse on my hair without it turning green?
Thanks for nice videos .//what can i replace instea of cassia .its not available in my city
Thx for this video!!! I want to use the red raj, I have it here and have been contemplating 🤔 using it for months!!! I have jet blk hair with natural red tones (in the sun).
@hennasooq Hi. Please, Where did you get the doll on the shelf behind you?
0.5mm white Beard time henna and indigo black and Jet black
Thanks for this amazing advice does the timing matter if your hair is Afro kinky or 4c hair?
Where can I get that doll on shelf
I love the color that I know gives my medium brown hair and looks like a chestnut. I can see more radish tones no thank you so much and so much blessings to you and your family.
Thank you so much!
Your very welcome I love Hanna hair color
I been using Hanna hair color for 3 years now and my hair is so beautiful and sofe
1:44 - did you get the headings wrong there, you said for bright strawberry only 1 part henna to 3 parts cassia...meaning less red. And a muted strawberry is 1:1 ???
This lady was sent to me just in time for my first henna application 🙏🏽
This is very helpful. I am trying to get a medium shade of auburn. I tried Red Raj but it was too copper in color. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how I can get a darker soft red? Thanks!
Rajasthani Henna is the one you want to use.
Ciao 😊, il tuo video è stato molto interessante, poiché hai spiegato in modo dettagliato, il primo passaggio con henné lawsonia inermis ed il secondo passaggio con indigo.
Io generalmente faccio 1h di tazarine ❤ che per me è il migliore 😊, ed 2h mix indigo con una % alta di lawsonia. Ottengo un castano ramato molto bello 😊
Does it . how much henna is used in the recipe? Do you just say 100 grams as a basic example? Thanks
I made the greys a light blond color yesterday in about two hours.
How
Can the indigo and henna be mixed with one step
Wonderful video. I have a concern. I’ve been using regular hair dye since forever due to the fact that I’ve had gray hair since I was 15 but i want to go the healthy way now using henna and indigo. My hair is currently kind of multicolor ranging from light brown to medium brown. Will this product even out the color? I’ve ordered cover the gray medium brown from little mountain. Please help don’t want to end up with a green tone. Does it have to be cured and if so for how long?
How did things go? Did you find your answer? I know for sure you want pure product when you’re dying over chemically dyed hair and Henna Sooq has more videos out there that answer your question (I don’t remember the answer because I’ve used henna for over a decade).
❤❤❤
Como faço para comprar esse produto?
First thing first: thank you so much for all these videos. I used henna for the first time about 2 weeks ago. My hair has never been this soft or healthy. I did the 1 step of Henna & Indigo for 2 hours. I have about 15% gray hair. This one-step process did not cover my grays. So I followed your instructions and did only Indigo for about 1 hour. I got this beautiful brown color. Unfortunately, I can see my grays again. What should I do next?
Hello. We have a complete guide that you can follow here: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/ and for stubborn greys, you may refer to this guide: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/stubborn-greys-black-hair-how-to-make-indigo-work-for-your-resistant-hair
Great video!! But I have a question. When you said first step henna, you mean only pure henna, but in the second step when you said indigo, you mean only indigo? Or a mix of henna and indigo? Thank you so mucb
She meant 2 separate applications
And if you want indigo to stick to grays, add a little bit of salt.
Hi and salaam. Do you have a tip for colour locking or shampoo and rinse etc.
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.
Hello Khadija, her natural hair color is dark blond, her hair is short. How much cassia do you mix, how much henna, should you use Nile after that, and what is the time when using it?
We have a complete guide that you can follow here to help you in the process of coloring your hair: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/. We hope this helps!
Unfortunately I've developed an allergy to indigo and yes I buy the pure organic form.
What is indigo shelf life?
Doyou do touch up root the same way or mix together with the same time or the longest of both?
Hello! Yes, do the root touch up the same way.
Helloo❤️What about if I want get dark blonde on light blonde?
I want Khadija to do my hair 😊
Hello khadija, thanks for your videos. Please how long should the henna stay in my hair to get burgundy?
Hello. Wrap your hair and allow to dye your hair for 3-4 hours.
Do you sell products to dye eyebrows?
Could I mix the henna and indigo 50/50 and leave it on for 4 hours to get black?
اذا اردت لون اسود غامق ضع الحنا النقية لمدة ساعتين ثم اغسله بالبلسم وفي اليوم الثاني ضع النيلة مع روب زبادي او رائب لمدة ساعة او ساعتين
Sorry I don't understand
Hello Khadija, please can I ask a question? She wants to put henna on her hair with cassia. She wants a blonde color. How much henna do you add with cassia and how long does it remain on her hair and rinse it off? Is indigo applied after henna and cassia or not? I want your help. Thank you very much.
Hello. What is her natural hair color?
I put henna and I got read but for my roots not getting it
I have 4a hair and am trying to achieve a red tone. I've done two applications so far with a six week gap. My grey hair at the front has turned a copper colour which is fine as it's just wispy baby hair but I'm wondering how long I should leave it on to achieve this. First application was left overnight and second was six hours max. I mixed aloe Vera powder into it along with organic pumpkin seed oil. Was that ok?
If you want the henna to dye your hair, do not mix any oils in (even your hair should be washed of any oils before dying). Just mix it with something slightly acidic to help the dye release (I usually use tea or hot water with a little bit of apple cider vinegar/lemon juice). After years of dyeing hair with henna, I honestly cannot tell the difference between leaving it on overnight or for about 2 hours. About the same results, at least for me. And I would say it is less drying on the hair.
@@vaiduliuke hi! What type of tea do you use?
@@bowsoverbrosred tea
Hi. I'm going to try henna and indigo for the first time. I have been dying my hair with boxes dye for 30 years now so I'm super nervous for a new process. I also got a heat cap and wondering what time difference you suggest? I am going for blue black color. Thank you
Hello. You can leave it for about 1.5 to 2 hours with heat.
❤❤❤❤
Is there a way to get a purple from Henna? I know indigo can come out blue/green. Is there a way to mix it with raja red or hibiscus powder or beet powder?
My color came out purple. I colored with henna and indigo, separately. Both I kept 2 hours , although I didn’t want purple, I wanted black. But I got black-purple. 😏 I didn’t even know it’s the option 😀
@@birgitk6518 Thank you for sharing!
Just saw this entire video, but I noticed that you neglected to mention burgundy tones. Is there a science to getting burgundy. Please address this because I do understand that there is a layering process? I have been consistent, but I have only achieved brown.
What if I did an Kasia to the hanne
What will happen
For burgundy tones you ve got to add beetroot juice 👍 to your henna and mix it.
I ended up with burgundy red by using only henna full strength (not gloss) on light brown hair by applying to the whole length of hair every time I dyed it rather than just doing the roots. After about 4 or 5 applications it was a deep rich burgundy.
THIS! I rly want to know the answer bcuz im trying so hard to get that color 😍 but... im failing everytime :(
How long should you soak the henna mix ? Before applying on the hair
Hello. Every henna powder has it’s own dye release time. For our Moroccan Henna Powder 1-2 hours and for our Red Raj, Rajasthani Indian henna, Jamila and Yemeni henna 3-4 hours.
@hennasooq I dyed my hair with henna a couple months ago. Can I use indigo today to get brown or black hair? Thanks.
Hello! We recommend reapplying henna and indigo after 3-4 weeks because the color may probably fade off during this time
I need help. I used the henna guys indigo hair dye which comes with henna for step 1 and indigo for step 2. I followed all instructions perfectly. I left the henna for 3 hours then rinsed with cold and left the indigo for 3 and rinsed with cold.
It’s been about 10 hours since I washed it out. I have naturally medium brown hair (3 inches of my root were showing) and the ends were bluish. I thought the black would cover all of it… my ends turned greenish black and my roots turned dark reddish brown..
it looks pretty bad and the coating was even and everything but my question is, how long does it take for it to turn black?
I wish someone had a video or photos showing how it develops over time. But I’m very concerned that it isn’t going to turn black.
Were you able to fix it?
Me too I'm getting only reddish brown in my roots and not the black
I colored my hair with indigo and henna to get black and now about a year later the ends are fading quite green. Will adding pure henna for about an hour correct that?
You didn’t you body art henna.
How can I.use amla to bring back my curls which have straightened out due to henna And not fading out or darkening out my color ?
Mix 100gram Amla with coconut milk or hot distilled water. Leave on the hair for 1-2 hours.
Hi. I have a question. If I mix amla into the henna, is it true what I’ve heard that it will help the colour be more ashy (less red/orange)? I want to use henna instead of box dye to cover greys, but my natural colour is not red/orange, so it does not suit my skin tone (winter). Thanks in advance.
Hello. No, Amla helps you to achieve longer hair naturally. This herb also helps maintain curls, adds volume to hair and helps to reduce some of the brightness of henna hair dye.
@@HennaSooq thank you for taking the time to answer. All the best 😀🙏✨
What if ive used henna a week ago and its too copper looking. Can i go over with indigo now or does it have to be done immediately after henna?
Hello. Please make sure to do indigo within 72 hours of henna application (right after or next day included). Indigo does not always work the first time and repeated application(s) may be necessary.
I just use henna 🍊
Does it cover grey hair
Can you use cassia powder instead of henna? Will the indigo still help colour my hair very dark brown/ black.
Hello! It won't color dark hair tones but can yield a light golden tone on grey and blonde hair.
I have a friend who has blue hair she says she uses black henna on her white hair. Can you talk about that?
Hello. All of our henna hair dye products cover grey. What you purchase depends on what hair color you want. Have you decided which tone you’d like to achieve?
Helloo, thanks a lot for the video ^-^ I have used henna for about 6 years, and I have never heard about this Indigo option ._. ... what is it???
Hello. Indigo makes it more of a reddish brown to medium brown and darker etc..
Sometimes when we use Indigo herb. We feel itching in hair. Colour on fingers when comb hair. Pls suggest some remedy.
First, you do have to make sure you’re not allergic to henna or indigo. That might be a sign of an allergy. Also, make sure you have a very strong showerhead so you can ensure it all comes out. Use our Cleansing CoWash to help with that as well.
