In India henna is used to color hair since ages but later foreign brands like L'Oréal and others to sell their colors started brain wash to propagate their products to be best n Henna bad for hairs. So sad. Dear u don't have to shampoo same day on applying Henna. Best way is wash your hairs with water only and let it dry naturally then Oil ur hairs n scalp properly let it sit then shampoo the other day. This way it helps lock in colour in hairs also condition it too with oil.
Please note that a 50/50 henna-indigo mix will *not* give dark brown to someone whose hair isn't already dark (like it was here)! Those with lighter hair will get a very warm reddish brown! If you have lighter hair and you want dark chocolate, you need to have at least 30/70 henna-indigo ratio; exact ratio epends on one's individual shade.
A suggestion - use a towel that shows the colour of the hair. Here u used maroon so the colour got reflected onto the hair thus the henna colour isn’t obvious
hiya, I am really like ur video which explain clear how to apply power into hair. Im interesting in the power. However, im currently live in the uk and dunno where to buy it. the only place i knew is Amazon.
is indigo completely natural like Henna? Would it be good to use for a person that is allergic to hair dye? to dye their hair black? considering henna works great on this person's head, would you suggest using idigo? it has no side affects right?
hi katrina, great vid very informative as well. First time trying henna, will order these products and try 50/50 combo but if for whatever reason i feel like theres too much red, how soon can I color my whole head again without causing any adverse effects?
Hi thank you for your tutorial. Would you do one for older woman who are naturally blond but have gone mostly grey and wanting to use Henna to get rid of the grey but do not want it too red... more blond colour? thank you
My indigo gets extremely clumpy and falls out everywhere. I don't understand why it keeps doing this. I only let it develop for 20 min and its yogurt consistency so it's not too thick and it's not dried out. It creates a massive mess and I just dont get why it falls out everywhere like that. It makes me want to switch back to chemical dyes because it's such a hassle.
Please,help♥️I coloring my hair with henna over two years(black),and now i wish to go in brown.Is that possible with henna?What mixture to use for that?Sorry wor my English,i am from Serbia
I didnt get black colour on my hair on my grey hair i need apply another time.in 2nd time i only indigo or henna plus indigo.after done my frist treatment after three days..
Would it be easier to blend if you added the 2 dry powders together in the same bowl THEN add the water? Instead of separately mixing then adding to each other?
If you have a lot of grey hair, use henna first then indigo after you wash the henna off. I have a lot of grey roots and I tried the henna+indigo mixture on 2 different occasions and it didn't work on my gray roots AT ALL. All my gray hair were still completely gray
@@steflondon88 thanks for the suggession and tip. have heard that heena is having acidic properties and indigo doest not go well with acidic. one can add alkaline like salt with it to enhance its properties.
So I dyed my hair using a chemical dye about three weeks ago (bluish black) I want to switch to henna so it's easier on my hair (I'm naturally blonde) to go more black should I use more of a ratio of indigo? Thank you! ❤️
Kat, put some essential oils into the Henna mix, umm like eucalyptus, this way it will not be so stinky. I had just found your site about Henna and your acting career...break a leg over there in LA darling!
Hi. Wondered if you have made a mistake using henna powder and gone too red can you attempt to correct and do just indigo powder and repeat the process to tone the red down?
If you put straight indigo over your hair it'll probably turn black...best bet is to make a new mixture with a greater percent of indigo. Do a few test strands to ensure it's the color you want before dying your whole head.
I use the "henna guys" in deep red. I recomend them, as it is idiot proof, pre mixed, and they make it clear what color it will be. It is the boxed color of the henna world i guess. I agree with all of this, i am currently sitting with a head full of henna lol. More is less when it comes to henna, box dye you can just slap in on, with henna you want your head dripping. And its gonna be a bitch to rinse it out. I rinse the top layer, and then use a shit ton of conditioner to get all the "dreads" worked out. I actually use a ton more dye than this lady, really get every bit in there. Also i have had a major difference in time, the longer the better. You want at least 4 hours. I also use black tea and a bit of stong coffee to make my henna (to darken it a bit).
I have gray hairs and want to begin dying my hair. I think this is a great option for dark brown (Indian) hair, BUT I am wondering what the reaction will be in a chlorine pool. Would it hurt or damage my hair? I honestly don't care about the color fading (I can always repeat the process), but I'm more concerned about the indigo + chlorine = damaged hair. Can you please assist? Thank youuuu!
It's a plant. There can be no damage. Chlorine could potentially fade it over time, but there can be no damage that will result if you are using 100% pure plant powders (henna and indigo). My family and i go to the YMCA regularly and I've used henna for ages...still vibrant color with zero damage caused from plant/chlorine reaction. Chlorine is naturally horrible for hair, so just continue to care for your hair the way you would if you weren't coloring it ie: deep condition, protective style, cover, etc.
Hi, Katrina! Actually, after watching your videos, I was thinking to dye my hair with henna + indigo (I have already bought the products) but I wasn't 100% sure how to prepare the henna because some people say to add lemon juice or coffee or tea... But I'm going to make it your way! Can I ask you what portion of henna + indigo did you used? I mean, I know you'd said 50/50 but how much? 50gr henna and 50gr indigo? An other question: I want a colour similar to burgundy, do you think it's possible? Maybe if I use 70/30? Thank you so much! PS: sorry about my english, I'm from Spain
Hi! Yes, I find chamomile to be a much more gentle acid to release the dye. How your color turns out will depend on your starting hair color as well, so what you could do it try making a tiny sample batch, and just dye a small length of hair at the nape of your neck where you won't see it as much, and make sure you like the shade it turns out. 70/30 would probably be great! I just do 50/50 for chocolate brown, but didn't weigh it. I have long hair and dye mine with henna and cassia, and I probably use 2 cups of dry ingredients total, if I want to dye all of my hair, but how much you need will depend on how long and thick your hair is. I would make more than you think you'll need, and you can freeze any leftover to touch up your roots.
hey Katrina. my mother die her hair, using henna. For preparing it, I take pure mustard+amla oil and mix them with pure henna powder still very thick in texture. Then I put in hot water(not boiling) and mix. Then cook it a little bit for a 2-3 minutes till i have the required consistency (stir constantly while cooking). and let it cool down a little bit. This way I never had to keep henna for so many hours. And then apply it on her hair in and near roots first, by making partions and sections of hair. this way I don't have to massage it. Kindly can you use this method also and give me a comparison. Moreover, if camomile tea isn't available, is there any other alternative that I can use?
Hi Katrina. I purchased an all natural and organic product - it is a mix of henna powder and indigo powder with some organic roasted coffee powder. It did not come with any instructions. All the research I've done shows the henna and indigo separately and then combining (like you did). Since they each require a different method, how should I mix/prepare this blend. Any tips? - Freddie
Jim Judson...see if you have already bought a pack then you only need to do is take out the mixture in a bowl and mix it well and apply onto dry hairs.....
Suryaprem Aluvila It depends on how dark you want your hair. A 50:50 mix is a med brown. The more indigo you add the darker your hair will be Start with more henna than indigo if you are unsure you could always do it again darker but you can not make it lighter for a very very long time.
Oh and it depends how dark your hair is to begin with. It can’t really dye really dark hair light. Straight henna will give it a nice reddish hue and a lot of shine and thickness.
If you would like to prepare 500 g of mixture of indigo and henna.. 250 g of henna and 250 g of indigo.. These are 50 %... So if you use teaspoon .. You can combine 20 teaspoon of indigo and 20 teaspoon of henna
In order to achieve a dark brown or black colour, use henna first. Then wash with plain water. Then apply indigo (For shoulder length hair Indigo paste should have 4-6 spoons of indigo + 2-3 spoons of curd + 2 spoons of aloe vera + half a lemon)
maglen bamaca use henna first, do a normal henna treatment, rinse, then apply just plain indigo and water with a pinch of salt. it's a two step process
Hi @Shweta you can as long as you are sure its 100% natural henna. Otherwise it can react with the chemicals in your hair causing your hair to turn green or even burn offw
🤗🤗 hi 🤔 can i use a normal tea bag instead of chamomile tea? 🤔i grow my hair to donate. they ask not to dye hair if donating.do you think this method is okay if i wanna donate hair? 🤔can you please tell me how long the colour will last on hair 🤔can i mix oil, and coffee to the mix? thank you 💐

I’m glad I ran across your video because I were planning on trying henna n indigo
oooh i love the coconut milk idea! Make sure you rinse in cold water, the hot water will rinse it out faster
A suggestion - use a towel that shows the colour of the hair. Here u used maroon so the colour got reflected onto the hair thus the henna colour isn’t obvious
Get plastic caps at a beauty store. They come in packs up to 100 for mere dollars. Better than the saran❤️🙌🏾

My indigo gets extremely clumpy and falls out everywhere. I don't understand why it keeps doing this.

It makes me want to switch back to chemical dyes because it's such a hassle.
My hair is dark brown but when thenhenna eventually fades will it come back to my natural colour or will go red?

I didnt get black colour on my hair on my grey hair i need apply another time.in 2nd time i only indigo or henna plus indigo.after done my frist treatment after three days..
What?
Would it be easier to blend if you added the 2 dry powders together in the same bowl THEN add the water? Instead of separately mixing then adding to each other?
8-12hrs to develop it's color, but indigo has to be used immediately or else it won't dye the hair properly
How long does it last
For best black hair result, use both individually first henna than indigo in 2 process
KailashRaj Purada but if I want dark/ chocolate brown, her method is okay right?
shoudl i apply in one go by mixing both or using it by applying first heenna and then applying indigo powder.
If you have a lot of grey hair, use henna first then indigo after you wash the henna off. I have a lot of grey roots and I tried the henna+indigo mixture on 2 different occasions and it didn't work on my gray roots AT ALL. All my gray hair were still completely gray
two step will make dark dark black. henna and indigo together makes brown. you can google the ratios for the shades of light to dark brown.
@@steflondon88 thanks for the suggession and tip. have heard that heena is having acidic properties and indigo doest not go well with acidic. one can add alkaline like salt with it to enhance its properties.
Henna and what to get the copper color?

No, there’s absolutely no difference between applying for 1-2hrs vs 8-10.
hi Katrianosity, better shampoo the hair after 48 hrs, so that teh hair will have more time for the color to get into it.
Can we use it on grey hair ?
dream creations, her way is only for young girls who without grey hair.
