Use black tea instead of water and also let the mixture sit for 2-8 hours...that way you’ll get better colour
My mum puts it on an iron Bowl over night. When you see it in the morning the dye is all released.
@@shivanisangal5521 You shouldn't use metal products in the mixing process as reacts with henna
@@spokoju8199 If it's pure henna it doesn't. It reacts when people mix up henna powder with other stuff like lemon so the dye release is darker. Otherwise there is no problem, we've been doing this for ages.
@Aneeshaif you don't mind can you please answer my questions please and thank you? Black tea like you make sweet tea? Do you and more hot water after letting it sit? Or just reheat so it can make your hair cuticle open up? also I saw some one say to add lemon to it as well to make it darker but not to put it in a metal bowl ? If mixed black tea and lemon will that help to make it darker? Sorry I've only used henna 1 time and that was in the 90's on Virginia Beach board walk at a little hippy salon ....so I don't really know how they did it, but it was a red henna not the blue indigo based like Nori and Brun. I'm planing on doing Brun 1st and then Nori as Erica said in another video it gives more depth to the color. Thank you :)
@@missfroghophophop6953 the idea behind black tea/coffee grounds is that the tannins might help with making it darker. unsweetened
For people wondering if this can be used for Dark hair , Yes . Here in India , we use it for dark hair which will leaves your grey hair burgundy shade which will fade away slowly. But it definetly will leave your hair a lot Healthier than you think.This is also proved to reduce your body heat .
Well yeah but white/gray hairs are still light, lighter than most blondes… The question is if it works on dark brown/black hair like mine
@@rachelfourie9083 Not much , Rachel. Under Sun , you can see a shade of burgundy over your black hair.
@@rachelfourie9083 I wouldn't say burgundy, brown or orange shade. I haven't seen anyone getting burgundy shade with henna unless mixed with indigo powder
@@rachelfourie9083 it depends on the quality of henna u use... Here in India we have fresh leaves which we pluck wash and grind! .. The color is naturally dark and lasts longer! 😃😃
U can add beetroot extract to the henna for a reddish tint or tea packs for more brown.. But these will yield subtle shades only not bright like a chemical based hair color
Two words... cheese grater...grate your henna block... it mixes so much easier and smoother and also starts warming it up and activating the dye process so you dont have to leave it as long 💚
exactly what I was thinking..
I know this comment is from 3 years ago but you just changed my life, cheese grater made it so much easier
Just a tip here, you shouldn't mix henna with a metal spoon, use a wood one instead, also don't let it get dry, cover your head with some plastic bag you already have at home and re-use it 🖤 that's really important if you want the pigments to actually activate. I've been using henna for many years now and these are the main tips in order to get a good result, if not you'll just end up with a slightly change of color under the light. No matter if it's henna from lush or anywhere else, make sure the preparation process is well done, and let it sit for a a day where you made it before putting it on, at least let it cool down. Bear in mind that the more oils henna has in it, the less colorful will be at the end, it'll be more silky but the results will be less evident. Hope this helps!
Also henna it's messy and needs patience, so if you don't want to have the henna on for a couple of hours (minimum) just don't do it, because it'll be worthless.
Inkmagination if the henna is pure (no metallic salts) it’s totally okay to use a metal spoon/bowl when mixing. When you’re mixing your own henna you want it to sit for 4-12 hours for the dyes to release. I think lush henna has already had dye release, and that’s why you can use it immediately after you melt it. Totally agree with the covering of your hair though after application. Especially if you are going for more vibrant red tones, you have to keep the heat in while it is processing.
@@laurelschwartz8577 I didn't know that about lush henna, thanks for the information 👌
Its weird she uses a metal bowl in her instruction why? Is'nt she tryng to learn people something first thing I remember after years not to do is using a metal spoon!
@@thewordoftheworld it’s fine to use with Lush or any henna that doesn’t contain metallic salts
When applying henna, you should wait 2-4 hours, then wash it with just water! Because henna tends to make the hair drier, so shampoo will make it extra dry! What I do is wash it with water only, then the next day I apply any kind of oil on my hair then wash it with shampoo. In my arab culture we usually do this method. Also you should let the henna sit after you apply water to it for 1-2 hours before applying it your hair.
never wash out with shampoo! just rinse with water, otherwise you wont get a good fixation of the henna, you can shampoo after 24 h the soonest. Also its very good to put the henna on the scalp it conditions it and gives it a very soothing and amazing feeling. Also apply in freshly washed damp hair for best results.
Wont it dye your scalp if you apply on scalp though?
I have psoriatic arthritis and this cured the plaque psoriasis on my scalp.
Sarah R. hi! i saw your comment and i was wondering if I could ask you some questions about it? my aunt has psoriatic arthritis as well, and she loves to dye her hair but the chemicals in traditional hair dye do bother her scalp. would it be okay if i asked you a couple questions about your experience using this product?
Olivia Coleman of course! I’ll do my best to answer any questions she has.
thanks so much for getting back to me! so my aunt does say that she gets plaque psoriasis on her scalp, and when she dyes her hair with traditional dyes it does burn. with you using henna, what was that like? did it alleviate the pain you experienced with that? and did it get better?
Olivia Coleman I had no idea that I even had psoriasis until I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis last year. But I've been using henna for years as my natural red hair faded with time, and I was against traditional dyes myself. The "bad dandruff" (your aunt will know just how bad) that I struggled with for years was healed after one use. The itch comes back right on time for me to touch up, it's a little messy, so don't wear clothes you like, do it in a room like a bathroom, it can be messy but gets better with practice. One of the reasons I pick lush is the intense scent lush protects have. Henna can smell like hay. Straight up hay. But it's totally worth the medicinal benefits. Good luck to your aunt, and help her, I can't do it alone with these elbows.
Sarah R. thank you so much for telling me all of this! this will really help her out. thank you so very much and i hope things are good for you! have a wonderful day! ❤️❤️❤️
I did this with the red one on my dark brown hair that has a grey, dusty sheen, and it worked for me! Not that it was fiery red, but definitely more red and a warm glow. Also a lot healthier. Liked it!
We ❤️ hearing this!
I use the rouge henna on my hair about every 6-8 weeks and I have light brown hair so fortunately it does not turn out brassy. I also leave mine on WAY longer than recommended (usually 8-12 hours) and it leaves a BEAUTIFUL deep natural-looking red. But not everyone wants to commit to 8-12 hours of having a poop-like substance all over your head! Regardless, I love this henna and I can see myself using it for many years to come.
I put it on before I sleep sometimes. Wrap it in a plastic shower cap and a hair scarf. I lay an old towel over my pillow. That way I'm unconscious so I don't think about the mud in my hair. The longer you leave it on, the richer the color gets. But 1-2 hours is also plenty time to get a nice color.
Hi are you applying on damp hair or dry hair ?
@@alymiaow I've always done it on dry hair
This lady is just beautiful on the inside and out
aw you're so sweet! xoErica
We must have watched different videos
She is!
@@Lauren-rl4eu rude...
True she was fun to watch 👍💜
I would've loved to have seen the presenter put henna on her hair. It would've been the coolest color comparison.
Even if u don't see much diff my hair is so much healthier since I don't use box anymore.
It's thicker and when the Grey's come in it's tonal instead of a line u get with box dye.
Also over time layering gets better and colour gets stronger
If you have type 4 hair, since the products is really grainy, I suggest blending it to get extra chunks out. Also a really foamy shampoo helps to get the grains out.
I appreciated seeing you use it on dark hair and light hair. It's nice to actually see the range
I could listen to this lovely lady all day long, her voice is so calming!
Omg her hair cut with the bangs is so cute. She looks like a lil fairy. So pretty
As a hairstylist if you ever want to go lighter or darker and you have henna or box dye that has metallic salts, it is not safe to do a color service on you! The chemical reactions that occur from henna and other kinds of box dyes that contain metallic salts can seriously harm your skin and hair! No one wants to start smoking in the salon so please! Be honest to your stylist about your hair history and they can find the right service for you!
Why am I watching this, I don't even dye my hair
@Emily L true
Same
Because it’s not just for dying , henna is a treatment for hair
I do but I dye it WHITE.
The redish/orange shade looked absolutely great on her!!!
I tried the Brun, came out great. I used a funnel to put the henna in a squeeze bottle to apply it, much easier and way less messy.
I tried and it didn’t color my hair. I would say I only see 20% change in color on grey hairs. Does it take 2 days to show color?
I'll try your squeezy bottle tip. Struggled with it today as my daughter nicked my colouring brushes!
My advice would be to cut the henna into small chunks and then grind them, whether manually or with a processor. I used a NutriBullet. Saves a lot of time and makes the mixture very smooth.
ty freddie, the goat fr
Oh my god but they don't tell u that if you bleach your hair at all on top of the henna that your hair will fall out. SUUUPPER IMPORTANT to note.
I love Henna Marron, used it a couple of times now. What i do is to not used shampoo to wash it out, i use conditioner. Sounds weird but it kinda helps to „carry“ out the cocoa butter.
I lovvvvve Erica’s hairdo when she was putting the henna on 😍😍😍
thank you! xoErica
OMG I love Erica!!! She seems like a fun person to be around, so every time I see a video with her in it I just have to watch.
Thank you!
I’m like 100% sure everyone who works at lush is a fun person to be around. They don’t hire boring people 😂😂
Angelica Login true! Lol
About to use the lush henna a second time with the Brun instead of Marron. (Experimenting). I made a HUGE mess in my kitchen last time, didn’t get the right consistency first and was crying for my daughter to come help. Felt like it was a disaster but my hair turned out really nice. I have thin, straight hair. It looked amazing and shiny after. Not looking forward to the mess that awaits me but am looking forward to seeing the end result!
I've been using Lush henna for 3-4 years, I love it!
Denise Sheppard do you use a while bar, at one time?
How do you retouch your roots?
I really wanted to love it but it's not for me. It was messy and took hours. I wish they could make a pre-mixed color.
It's prob cuz it would be a massive bottle if pre made and also I guess they are trying to avoid plastic but it does look like a hassle
I used to when i was a kid buy a henna treatment didnt release it coloured ur hair would have been nine ten but u can buy it already done just put ot on
@@JustCardsBySara I've seen it before but I don't think it's cruelty free and I prefer to buy from Lush. Thank you though!
Same. I absolutely hated it. Eventually I was so frustrated and done with everything (tears were shed!) I said fuck it and rinsed it out. Washed my hair about 5 times and used half a bottle of conditioner.
Michelle the unfortunate thing about natural and some chemical hair dyes is they take a while. Even if you went to a salon it would probably be a bit.
I used henna for years. The problem is you have to grown it out completely before you can use conventional colour. It coats the hair very thoroughly. Nothing will take over the top of it.
I wish Lush would grate the henna and sell it in refillable pots. I grate mine (or chop it up and then use a coffee grinder) and it is cuts down on the application time and mess so much! Please Lush, make a grated version!
madebysami my family sell henna and it’s not block
We have been using henna for centuries it has benefits beyond just colour it's used to reduce body heat and as a conditioning agent we DO NOT mix it with butter or oil but yes to enhance colour coffee powder or black tea and other herbs are added for conditioning egg or fenugreek seeds are crushed and added it gives an orange hue to whites so for black use indigo powder once you're done with the henna
I put mine in a blender and pour the boiling water in there with it. It breaks it down and melts it fast. Then just scoop it out! If there's a bunch left in the blender, you can put a little water in, blend it again, then pour it out. If you mix the watery stuff in and let it cool a little, it gets thick again.
Bought Henna Noir lately and was suuuuuper excited to finally get black hair! It turned out terrible ... I used the whole big block, did everything as said in the instructions ... I saw literally no effect. My hair still was the same color as before .. Only the hair felt super soft ...
DeaSiiri I think it’s more of a natural alternative to the terrible hair dye that kills your hair with the alcohol and stuff. So of course it’s not going to be as harsh of an affect like regular dye! :)
@@Evie_danielle yeah i know, this was the reason I bought henna :D but I bought the darkest shade of them (black) and my hair didn't even get darker .. nothing. That's what bothers me the most. That you haven't seen anything
The best way is to let it sit very long and to NEVER use henna on already colored hair with regular dye
@@dupontlai4241 I thought 3,5 hours was enough 🙃 I had regular dye in the tips of my hair, but not in the roots. Still no colour.
@@deasiiri1824 at least now you know cocoa butter makes your hair soft haha. In my country we use a lot of henna and we usually let it sit all night.
I would recommend doing a strand test. My hair was blonde like the 2nd woman, and it went really ginger, such a vibrant and bright colour with an equal mix of the rouge and marron henna bars, nothing like her colour- so it must be different on everyone. I love my colour :) it took a good hour to rinse out and was a messy process (don't use a white towel for the first few washes!!!) But I love it x
I got Heena plant at home. I use fresh leaves.
I plan on going back to henna, my hair was so much better off before I used “pro grade” tubes, so much so that my hair grew like a jungle combined with the tlc of coconut oil. Just a suggestion use glass, plastic, or even a stone bowl so the henna doesn’t oxidize.
Emilia Ramos how does a jungle grow?
Thank you so much! My hair is almost the exact same color as Jacinta’s and it’s virgin hair too! This was so helpful!
They look so amazing with the henna!!! I heard that it's safer to use henna every 3-6 months. Although it is natural and healthy, overdoing anything can have negative results, and too much protein can actually cause hair loss if used consistently more often than every 3-6 months. It would be sad for someone to give up on conditioning and coloring with henna just because she did it too often, and her hair started breaking from the overload. Moderation in all things! ;) Great results! Those colors really do suit those girls so well!!! And, henna will become deeper with every application. :)
Her voice is so calming
Hair colored from henna is beautiful even on darkest hair like mine 👍🏻
I was about to order the Noir block until i saw the melting warning. It’s 90+ in the Southeastern US rn so looks like I have to wait a month or drive 2 hours to a Lush. Still excited though. I’m tired of my hair feeling like trash after a dye and then fading 2 weeks in.
I wish I could get some one to do it for me!!!
Excellent presentation
The Hungarian shirt by the narrator was delightful! I loved their hair ❤
Holy shit, I have seen you do Lush vids for a few years and I gotta say, your greys are GORGEOUS. hot damn
I thought henna covered grey hair?
I am hype to find this. Been doing henna for 10yrs but the application was always a mess, but seeing the tip of starting on top, heck yes!
I literally just bought my henna the other day
noebear97 how did it go?
Do yourself a favour and make henna mix yourself. Lush mix is sooo heavy and difficult to rinse because of all the butter it has in it. I started with this one and hated it, then I just bought 100% henna powder (lawsonia inermis) and mixed it a tablespoon of sour agent (lemon juice, apple cider vinegar or amla powder) and water, then I leave it for 8-12 hours for the colour to develop. I also add ground fenugreek and other herbs for extra care for my hair and scalp. Seriously so much better and faster to rinse out. After I finished Lush product I started to like applying and rinsing henna on/from my hair :)
at the end after the hair transformation, Nicole kinda reminded me of the character drew Barrymore played in Charlie's angels...just for a split second when she did certain a movement or facial expression lol
Instead of using a knife to break the bar apart, put it in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds to one minute. That will soften the bar up and you can easily break it apart by hand or with a spoon.
Am i the only one who loved the voice of the hairdresser?
So glad you guys posted this, I've been on the fence about trying the henna dye for a while this video just convinced me.
Dont use metal !
Will it cover grey hair? I was hoping that you try it on yourself...
Got henna from a local Indian grocery store today. Will try😊
That looks like a gigantic block of hash to me
This stuff is pretty messy but it didn’t stain like I was afraid it would. I used Marron the first time and left it on for 4 hours with a plastic processing cap over it. It completely covered my grays (turned them an intense auburn color that was slightly lighter than my other hair). I’m using Brun this time around. I think the most difficult part for me is washing out after. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE and it takes 3-4 washes to get all the coffee grounds rinsed out.
Did you left the henna to rest some time before applying it to the hair? I did everything like instructions said, but I saw no difference after 2 hours in my hair colour.
Can you dye a whole head with a half block of the Lush rouge henna? I have medium length, mousy-brown hair, going for a bit of a change.
Normal hair dye won’t work on your hair after henna btw. I think you need to wait for six months or so.
Sidra Parveen it will have a chemical reaction
I waited a full year before trying to dye my hair after henna but I didn’t take at all. The safest bet is to just let it grow out.
Host: you have lovely hair, the cut works well for you and you seem like a great person too!
Too bad my hair is too dark😥😥 I want to try this too!!
it tints black hair like if you're in the sun it'll look brownish red. If you consistently do it a lot like once a month it'll be brighter.
I honestly always had such a hard time selling this. Takes too long and it stays forever so if you go to the salon hairdressers won’t be able to properly remove it.
Pani, predvádzate Lush, tak si ju aj dajte. Na to, že to robíte máte vlasy neskutočne prešedivelé a vyzerá to humorne.
A packet of Henna powder costs around 1-2 dollars ...
You need to mix it with black tea water and soak for few hours and then apply.
Cocoa Butter is not really needed. This product must be very costly because of it.
Not too pricey, which is good, 20 ish bucks. Not 1-2 dollars but a lot cheaper than the boxed stuff I used to get. So mixing with black tea water is better than water. Any specific tea? Or will English Breakfast do? I think they do the cocoa butter to help soften hair. Which... I know my head could use that. hehe
Unfortunately in Germany the lush-henna comes without any instructions. As i bought mine in sore the “henna-sells-person” didn’t know how to use it at all and for every question i had that person referred said “check online”. As I asked how should I prevent the henna from staining my skin and I specially asked if there was a product to prevent this from happening he/ she said i didn’t need anything and that the henna form lush wasn’t going to stain my skin 🤔
Lush henna doesn't stain the skin at all, it's a little annoying but washes off with soap 😊
Its so lovely to see confident plus size presenters!
Ugh Erica I’m obsessed with you ❤️✨
Can you mix Brun with Noir to make a darker brown?
Henna is really good for people that don't change the color of their hair because there is no way to get henna out it does NOT fade the only way to get rid of it is by cutting off the henna
If it colors everything how do you wash it out without ruining your shower stall? Should it only be washed out it a metal sink?
I feel like this on works if your hair is light . Couldn’t see the difference in the first
To everyone considering dying their hair with henna, I would urge you to watch Brad Mondo’s vidéo about henna hair colour, he tells people what can happen when you dye your hair with henna and want to redye it, just something to consider !
PURE henna is just a plant from the desert ground up that’s why it’s so green in this video if it was mixed up with other things it would be darker I know cause I do henna art on people I actually own a business for it
Used the caca brun twice, didn’t work either times!!
I love you Erica!!!! Can we talk about the new solid serums and naked cleansing balms next!?
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this!
She is so refreshing 💙
Awesome ❤
I love Lush rouge henna
Will henna cover greys?
I have always eanted to ask. Are there many color options or do you have to stick to just a couple of choices?
Hey there! We have 4 different options right now. You can check them out here: www.lushusa.com/hair/henna-hair-dyes/
I've used henna before and have never had a problem until today! I used Lushs' henna for the very first time. It kept getting crumbly on me even though I was adding water and made it melted chocolate consistency. It was SO frustrating. Like literally I'd add the water mix it'd be great consistency and then mid shaft it would just crumble. Uggggh
Does this work for grey hair?
I really enjoy watching your videos, hope I could be one of your team workers
Definitely check out our Careers page to see if there are any positions available in your area! 💖
unfortunately there is no available position in my area. :(
Keep your eyes peeled!
Oil keeps the dye from staining your skin but then they add cocoa butter to henna? Doesn’t that hurt the dying properties in your hair?
i have naturally red hair but i want a change, do u raccomend it to me?
It depends on your :
Henna
Ingredients you mix with it
And Application
Some henna are more pigmented, i recommend you buy natural powder henna, its cheaper and because you will add stuff to it you actually don’t need a lot of the powder so one bag of it can be used for 2-3 times, also if you apply only henna with water it would be a waste of opportunity to incorporate healthy foods into it like yogurt and pomegranate syrup and coffee ground, and then once you apply your henna you want to wrap it with cling film or anything to trap the moisture in, i found that this way the color shows more and lasts longer.
Also its totally fine for you to find a bit of color coming out in your shower days later, and remember its more for the health benefits then the color, and also because its a natural ingredient i recommend doing more then once
I hated the second one....it was so brassy...I don't want mine to come out like that because I got this for my birthday..... I'm worried
Mix your henna with some oil and don’t leave it on as long? Jsyk I’ve never used henna only chemical dyes, I’m researching myself but from what I’ve gathered doing that should lighten the application
Psa as a stylist if you use henna as long as it’s in your hair you cannot use normal colour with ammonia!!!
Henna is the best!
Great video! Erica is an excellent presenter.
How long does the henna color last on gray hair?
I user Brun henna (I followed the instructions) but there was no difference after using it. Can you please tell me what went wrong? Thanks!
Use milk eggs lemon olive it some hot water and mix it good leave it over night apply it on clean dry hair apply it leave it minimum 7 hrs wash it with water NO shampoo wat 3 days then you can wash it with shampoo.
Is it better to apply the henna on clean washed hair or is it better to do it when the hair is a bit dirtier and oily?
When will lush henna dye be back on sale please ? Thanks 🙏🏻
I believe when you mix henna you shouldn't use metal mixing bowl. Plastic or glass
Both ladies hair before colour was very similar to the colour after applying Henna. I couldn’t see the point 🤷🏻♀️
I would like to see how it looks on covering grey hair please.
I am nervous about using it because the block is green, not the colour I was hoping for on my hair.
Gilly Knapp it doesn’t show after the first time and it is kind of a hassle to make but it’s natural hair dye and it’s SUPER healthy for your hair
no,thisispatrick thank you for your reply. Fortunately my hair is in good condition, the colour is my main concern.
You’re not suppose to use metal
RIGHT?! Like henna is tricky as it is. Metal will mess it up
Hey Adriana! It's actually perfectly fine to use metal implements with our hennas! These warnings apply to hennas that contain metallic salts, which can cause a reaction between the metals. Our hennas are 100% natural and contain no metallic salts, so it's okay to use a metal bowl!
natural ingredients can also contain metallic salts i believe?
i have a question for anyone out there that's a redhead like myself. is there henna's for red hair?? i'm just wondering and i'm curious to know thanks``Lily.
I feel bamboozled after seeing these results 😕
Does this totally change your hair color forever, the way that regular dye does?
It changes it forever you cant take it off also with bleach
Its not bleach but if you have black hair it gets brownish black or Greyish black but blonde brunettes have lasting color changes.
@@Liztastaney7 it never comes off
Hi love! Our henna's are semi-permanent meaning they'll fade over time and how quickly that happens depends on the aftercare. 💞
