I just recently started using aloe vera powder to my mixtures and i can attest to this as the truth. Yes, all you need is about a teaspoon amount of aloe and your hair will no longer be dry after doing your treatment. I have noticed a huge difference. Thanks for posting this wonderful video. Aloe vera powder is the answer.
Thank you so much for all your wonderful tutorials, you teach us so much. I've been adding aloe vera to my henna for the past few months and it really really really makes all the difference. Henna used to dry my hair out but now my hair comes out soft and shiny. For anyone who complains that henna leaves their hair dry or strawlike I really recommend you never forget to add aloe vera to your henna.
I followed your instructions and mine was awesome. I am doing my. second my grey came out with reddish tint which was awesome because I didn't have to do roots so quickly. My hair looks amazing and soft ! ❤
I'm not sure if citric acid would lighten the color in a henna treatment, but I think it might because lemon juice is used to lighten hair. I used honey with the Morrocan henna and the final color was definitely brighter; more of a orange-red. The recent treatment I did with molasses and Morrocan henna is more of a copper red.
Some way or another I’ve fallen by the way side on preparing this henna. I’ve been using it for years, in fact; I was thinking about stopping and going with a chemical because it wasn’t turning out the way I expected. Now I get it, my water was hot (not boiling) but too hot, plus I would leave it over night for dye release and even put hot water bottles on it to keep it warm, and I was sure I was supposed to put aloe vera powder in the henna after dye release, but hey if I need to change it so be it. I’m so glad you had this video because I really need to change some things. This was a GREAT refresher class for me. Thank you so much.
Oh yeah that makes sense. I'm so glad you aren't leaving henna for chemicals :) You don't know just how happy that makes me feel. We just hope people can choose the healthier, natural option. You are so welcome. Your comments definitely make me feel that I'm doing this right! :) Very encouraging. Thanks!
Henna sooq and Khadija have changed my way of thinking about henna I always thought just because I have fine straight hair that it wouldn’t work well on my hair and I’m pleasantly surprise how amazing it makes my hair feel. It feels so much thicker and stronger and the color is an added benefit! Thank you so much and Happy Birthday Khadija!
How long does it take to be ready for use? Will I have to wait for hours to get the reddish brown colour I am looking for? I like my hair very dark 🎉🎉🎉 I like your advice. I'm watching you from the USA 🎉🎉🎉🎉. Is it hard to find any of your Hanna products in the USA. I live in Idaho 🎉🎉🎉
Hi, I let my dyed hair grow out during covid, and wanted to get it to a dark auburn with henna. I bought this combo and followed the recipe in your online instructions. I have medium brown hair, with grown out caramel highlights and lots of greys. It covered the greys but came out very uneven. The virgin hair that had grown out didn't really take the red, but the henna did cover the greys. The last few inches that were chemically treated took the henna great and is exactly the shade that I want. There is a very noticeable shade difference where the two types of hair are. Do you have a recommendation for how I can even my hair color out? Thanks!
I have Jamila. Can it be substituted for Red Raj? It’s my understanding the Jamila is not as bright red Red Raj. I have dark brown hair with a lot of grey (about 30%). I wish we could see before and after photo of this henna treatment on someone who has dark hair and a lot of grey. Thank you.
I am african American I want to dye my hair red. Would this technique work on my hair if I order your products? I already use henna, been, Brahmi powders on a regular basis. My hair loves them
Hello. Yes absolutely. Use a good strong henna, such as our Red Raj for best results: www.hennasooq.com/red-raj/ With regular applications every 4-6 weeks you'll also see the color deepen as henna layers and deepens.
Is it advisable to powder and grind hibiscus leaves and add to henna or use a tea extract? I'm waiting for my aloe powder to add to the henna. I'm a new henna enthusiast. Thank you for the abundant videos and the enthusiasm you express through your channel.
Hello from Nigeria.... I would like to dye my hair burgundy color and I got Nupur henna from the India store around my house... Pls what would I add to achieve my desire color? In the absence of power aloe Vera, would raw be ok ?Jazakaallau khairan
I currently dye my hair chemically and really want to switch to henna. What would you recommend to achieve a mid to light copper? I really don’t want it to go red! I have mid to dark cool toned brown hair naturally. Thank you!
Hello! Sorry for my delayed reply. Moroccan henna with some organic cassia would be perfect!! Usually 25% henna and 75% cassia should help you achieve this.
What colour will this come out in 100% grey white hair? I have watched your video on how to dye this colour hair with just the henna with aloe vera added, which comes out orange according to the video. Does this mixture using the Raj henna come out darker on this colour hair? Also, I have heard that using distilled water to mix the henna is better because of some of the chemicals in tap water. Would you recommend this? I have not purchased your henna yet, just researching thoroughly first. Great videos though.
Hello. What you purchase depends on what hair color you want. Have you decided which tone you’d like to achieve? Yes, as long as your liquid is warm to hot not boiling.
Hi khadijah! I have natural red/auburn hair that I have never dyed. Starting to get some gray hair sporadically through out which is making my hair look a little dull. I have been watching all your videos (which I love!) and want to try henna to cover and make my red hair pop again with out it going on the orange side. What do you suggest that I order? And of course the aloe vera powder to condition! My hair is super thick and dry.
@@HennaSooq what recipe would u recomend for my medium brown (level6) hair if i wanna have that bright light orange red? I tried the Henami red henna of course my dyed dirty blonde hair got that nice shade but my natural hair got litterly nothing which i was very suprise because there is ppl who have way darker hair and they result came out gorgeous... Im so sad😞 could u please help me a little?
Lemon lightens hair when combined with the sun. I don't think that it works without it. Acid is supposed to break down the plant matter to help it dye your hair. It's supposed to deepen the colour. But you shouldn't use it neat, it's too harsh on your hair and scalp. I don't know for sure if it works, that's just from my reading. I'm thinking of trying it, as I'd like my hair to be a deeper red. Even with indigo, my hair is a bit bright.
Where is the best place to store henna and indigo while it's still in power form before you mix it? I've been storing mine in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
Hey, such a great informative video! I just wanted to ask, I have wavy/curly very dry hair. Is there any way I can keep my hair curly without loosening the curls along with keeping the colour vibrant? I did read to mix up the henna colour first, let it sit for 8 - 12 hours, then add amla and aloe vera just before applying to hair, then it doesn't make the colour darker? Is that correct? Also does hisbisus help curls? Thank you so much xx
Hi! Yes absolutely. Usually you add amla but it will reduce some of the color. You could use amla or zizyphus powders seperately after you color to maintain curls and hair texture. Our henna is max 3-4 hours to sit and the powders are all mixed together and then combined with liquid. Hbiscus not sure if it helps as much for curl maintenance. Welcome! Hope this helps.
I have a hard time creating an account on your website. I checked out as a guest but when I made another order I wanted to create an account but it tells me there is already an email for that account but I never properly gave passwords and the like. So I have to continue as a guest. I just received my katam via Denmark. We shall see. Now I’m just waiting for the red raj. So excited.
Tracy oh sorry to hear. If you already used your email and it says you’re in the system already you have to reset it and then login. It doesn’t allow people to use the same email twice as a guest unless you login. That way you also get all your loyalty points too.

I’m African American I have thin fine hair how much henna do you suggest I you? I have you your Henna gloss 2x per 1 package. Would the powder be the same?
The henna gloss would be a good first step to see how your hair behaves towards henna. Once you try it then you can move on to henna powder. The thing with henna powder is stronger then a gloss bar so you just want to take small steps. Henna can be done every 4-6 weeks.
Hello Khadija! I recently purchased the Red Raj and aloe powder from you. I have yet to use it because I want to make sure I have the right recipe. Can I use coconut milk as my liquid along with green tea? I have seen so many recipes for using henna for dry hair.
Hello. Burgundy would definitely be with using rajasthani indian henna powder (for burgundy tones) and about 25% indigo and sometimes 50% off if your greys are very resistant.
One thing she did not do was tell you things to do to save your hair. I dries my hair out with henna and was lucky to figure out that saturating my hair with olive oil helped during my drastic fall out. I barely recovered... But thanks to Olive oil..not washing my hair and conditioner. Things turned around
Does using henna and indigo powders make your natural hairs turn grey? My Aunty said she used henna to dye her hair and noticed after 2nd time when the dye faded away, her natural hairs were more grey. Is that right?
Hiya, I would like to know your suggestions how to achieve a rose gold color using your product? I have natural shoulder length black hair or dark brown hair.
QuentNBritt Sturgeon unfortunately you can’t go lighter. Is your hair mainly grey? Rose gold is going to be a bit tricky. Do you have a photo you can send to customer service so we can make sure what color you’re thinking of? Thanks!
I was thinking if the morrocan henna will change my hair to light copper then I could achieve the color but I will send a photo of my hair and then photo of the color I desire
Hi khadija, very happy to see this video as iam a big fan of aloe Vera and love love to apply it anywhere I can. So I thought what trouble will it make if I add it to my henna paste as well?? :'D so glad to find ur video 💕💕 but I have a question. My usual henna paste recipe consist of yoghurt, lemon, dark red tea and sugar. Is it okay if I add aloe Vera an addition to these ingredients? Thank you again 💋
Unfortunately you must keep missing it. We had a shipment a few months ago but it goes so quickly as especially during COVID19 we got slammed with orders. Countries are shut down like India so it's been hard to import. Good news we do expect it back within 30-60 days. Please sign up for back in stock notifications here: hennasooq.com/red-raj/
Oh no!! Sorry to hear. That can happen though with a high percentage of grey hair. Perhaps use some indigo to start and then use henna alone to keep building to that deeper color, as it will but it'll take a few applications.

I like your advice.

Thank you! Dye release is 3-4 hours then it's ready to use. You can buy our brand on our website: hennasooq.com/
If I don't have aloe powder, what can I use instead???
Hey could you do a video about creating an ayurvedic hair regimen? Example: Someone who washes their hair weekly or biweekly.
Hello. Absolutely!! We'll definitely do that.
Great request!
Also I've black hair, how to get a popping red or auburn color on my hair using leaf henna???
Hi, I let my dyed hair grow out during covid, and wanted to get it to a dark auburn with henna. I bought this combo and followed the recipe in your online instructions.

Can I add aloe Vera powder to either henna or indigo before application? Does it need to sit down for hours like henna?
I like the burgundy colour which will be good for the burgundy colour, please reply it's good for hair and no chemicals into it?? Please reply
Rajasthani Indian Henna is great for burgundy tones. You could always add a little bit of indigo for a deeper color 💙
I have Jamila. Can it be substituted for Red Raj? It’s my understanding the Jamila is not as bright red Red Raj. I have dark brown hair with a lot of grey (about 30%). I wish we could see before and after photo of this henna treatment on someone who has dark hair and a lot of grey.

It can definitely work but it may dilute the color results of henna and indigo or even cause it not to work.

I used the red raj on my 97% gray hair, it turned out the exact color of a carrot, I was hoping for a much darker/deeper red color 😕
