I really liked the chill hang-out vibe in this. Like, doing some hair stuff, some chatting, some product development updates all in one video,... really fun to watch :)!
I dyed my hair with henna for a decade, then the pandemic hit and I got bored and wanted to play with colors, and the entire internet stressed me out with this!!!! Took so much searching to realize using pure henna is PERFECTLY SAFE TO DYE OVER!!! Even talked to my hair stylist about what I'd done after and she basically refused to touch my hair with dye until it grew out. And thus I became a "professional" at home hair dyer lmao. Thank you for doing this video!!
My hair dyeing routine is that I bleach my roots and then apply henna. Doing this for years and I am doing just fine. The only "issue" I've ever had with henna is that it is quite impossible to get rid of after years of using it in case you want to try something els
I have been dying my hair with henna and also removing it occasionally for the past 5 years. I watched your video and it appears as though you mixed both of khadis red and copper. Their copper color contains a mixture of herbs one of which is indigo which will show green when it is being removed. I have always stayed away from anything that contains indigo as it is very hard to remove. I love henna and it is very good for your hair but it is a pain in the butt to remove and it does damage your hair in the process!! Love your videos Stella 🥰 Best of luck 😘
The indigo nightmare is real I had a mix of pure henna and a henna blend. When I bleached it, the pure henna came out no problem, the henna blend went mint green/blue and took forever to come out. In the end I had to use colour theory with semi permanent dye.
@@ginnyleedays I used liquid peppermint Castile soap, sun in and oiling to fade it substantiality first then bleached it, yes. You have to work in slow steps and be sure to use heavy conditioning masks in between processes. 🥺 Best of luck 🤞🏻💕
I used Khadi copper henna and I ended up bleaching my hair to try to get rid of it. I was trying to go platinum but henna stains the hair so no matter how light my hair got from bleach, it still had an orange hue in the sun. I tried color removers and many other methods to remove the henna, but Schwartzkopf Blondme bleach and 20v developer with paper thin sections in foils was the most effective. I achieved a level 10 but the orange henna tint was still noticable even after toning. I was able to go over it with a neutral level 8 blonde color and the henna didn't show up anymore. If I could go back I never would have used henna, but it did make my hair feel amazing.
@ginnyleedays I have successfully lightened henna with Schwarzkopf blonde me bleach with 20V developer. This is only for pure henna, not the kind that is mixed with other ingredients. If you want to go very light, find a professional willing to work with you and use paper thin sections and foils. Make sure to keep checking so it doesn't go lighter than you want. Less is best! I've also had some success with color oops, though it must be done many times and smells horrible. For natural methods, try salt water and sunshine.
@@ginnyleedays the color oops for me wasn't worth it. The lightning effect would last only about 2 weeks and the color would start to come back. It didn't matter how much I shampooed or how much I used color oops, it lightened it but it didn't make it disappear. The stuff smells horrible and sticks to your hair for weeks so it just became not worth it for me
@@ginnyleedays I found both to be equally damaging, however going platinum was far more damaging than just slightly lightning enough to change the color. It was mostly very drying for the hair.
I used to dye my hair with henna for over 2 decades…crazy orange copper red and used Logona colors. I’ve bleached and dyed and never had any issues. The only thing one has to keep in mind is…it won’t come out…it will grow out. Maybe not if you only use it once, but if you have layers and layers of henna, you will have to start mixing less red tones with the red until it’s grown out and then start using other colors. That’s how I did it. I slowly changed into brown tones until the red was gone and I could switch to a caramel tone (chemical color “Wella” now). However, I’ve never had healthier and thicker hair than during my henna time. It just puts layers over layers and strengthens the hair amazingly! The whole dying process became too much after I suffered from a double frozen shoulder and couldn’t do it myself anymore. To this day, I truly think henna red hair is the most natural and beautiful red!
it's not that henna makes the hair melt, it's that bleach doesn't remove it from the surface of the hair, which you can see. I always used body art quality mixed with coconut oil on my hair and knew it was a commitment because it never really faded at all. You can have henna mixed with either indigo or senna for variations in color and it still won't melt but yeah, bleach gets funky funky. I assume you're going berry or something in the direction that will blend nicely with the henna. That deep burgundy was gorgeous.
Here in Brazil we have henna and Henê. Henna is just henna. Henê is a kind of relaxer that dyes your hair black on the process, and will definitely fry off your hair of you put any other type of chemical process on it. Once you start on henê you can only do henê until you do a big chop
Yeah, Stella you just have to let the henna grow out nothing is going to remove it. Sorry girl henna coats the hair strand. Glad you did some hair stand test. ❤😊 your hair looks really nice 😊, sure grow fast 💨.
Hi !!!!! Stella I am a 48 women of color and I been watching you for years I can relate to you I can"t explain it but I like you. I have natural curlie hair and I still watch you Thank you🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I was told by my stylist (i did blonde highlights over natural non-metallic henna) that it can turn green. She did a test strand and it did not so she proceeded with the highlights. So be sure to tell her EVEN if you used non-metallic henna...
I actually did do this (over hair that had a henna based color and permanent dye) and my hair didn’t seem too damaged and lifted to a yellow blonde. but when I put a semipermanent over it, it turned brownish, which was interesting. Thanks for doing this video!
Hi, I henna my hair, and I have bleach balayage highlights over it. It causes zero problems for me. I only use pure henna, it creates beautifuul color ❤
Right. Makes no sense to me. Why cut off the hair when there’s a 50/50 chance the hair won’t even break. Plus i feel the hair reacts better to chemicals while attached to your head but it just could be me. Overall, You just lost 3 pieces of hair for nothing but it’s her head, so.
Stella you should go pink. Red cancels out green, so it definitely won't look green it might be an orange pink. Stella you look so beautiful with Pink hair
Can't wait for the wigs! Never owned one but since my hair is thin and it takes ages for it to grow, I never ever had a long hair in my life. I'm really giving all my hopes for a wig!
When you wear a wig in the summer is very hot Angels Hair is Getting Tinner. You Better pay attention on Getting Less stress en Better Food like Fruits and vegetables. And massage your hair Everyday. Don't eat eggs or glutern.
Great video! So much misconception circulating the internet regarding henna- glad you did your homework! 👏 Also...LOVE your lipstick color. What shade/brand is it? 💄
Been dying my hair with henna for 8 years now. I still love the color but if I ever want to change it I now know that it's safe to do that. I mainly use khadi hair colors and I think I've used one or two different brands before but that part of the hair is probably already grown out and cut off. Thanks for the reassurance!
years ago my mum and I tried to dye my hair with henna, my scalp started to burn and I ended up with blisters round my hairline..... never again, I'm fine with other hair dyes though
Something was wrong with whatever you used (or maybe you're allergic to the plant), because that is definitely not a reaction I've ever heard happening. Wow... that is crazy
I used henna for the first time in 2022 and eventually my blonde came back. It was a semi-permanent henna (which apparently doesn’t exist?) I’ve dyed over it and bleached it a few times (I have pretty strong hair) and haven’t had much breakage. I’ll admit though that the red tones from the henna are pretty stubborn, so there’s a bit of brass in the back and has been hard to get past dark blonde/light brown.
I had khadi henna on my hair and tried color oops color remover. It would remove the henna if I left it on for two hours and rinsed like crazy, but eventually the henna oxidized again and came back after a week or two. I tried multiple times with the same results. Only bleach seemed to break through it and even then the hair always had an orange sheen in the sun.
I did it 5 times and it worked! I henndigoed 5 times prior, 2 step process so it was in my hair good. The color remover got all my henna off but my indigo, the indigo stayed in for life lol i had to put a round of henna back into it because the blue wouldnt let any hair dye penetrate. So i had to put henna back into it to balance the tone out, then i was able to dye over that. Such a process i will never henna or put indigo in my hair ever again 😂
Guys, I'm pretty sure Stella *knows* it's not strictly necessary to literally cut your hair to do a test strand but she did it for ✨ science ✨ and because it was easy for her to show and for us to see Edit: the ✨ were wonky
The green and bleach test strand… Years ago I bleached the front of my hair,it went orange (my hair is dark,didn’t use right % peroxide 🤷🏻♀️😅) anyway,trying to darken it ,I used the semi permanent of the time,Harmony..the triangular box thing(Uk folk of my age will know lol) that wasn’t good,I henna’d my hair black, it was fab,until the front faded..to khaki green… 🙈😂.. I just re henna’d until it grew out lol.
I'm going to guess that you went with the second one cause of the emerald green color on the inside but it could also be the last one because it also has an emerald green color on the inside and you love the color emerald green. 😊 12:19
I used to go by the rule of fuck around and find out until my hair cut off so badly that i had to shave it and start over. That's how i learned why test strands are important lol
I really liked the chill hang-out vibe in this. Like, doing some hair stuff, some chatting, some product development updates all in one video,... really fun to watch :)!

I dyed and bleached over henna as well. perfectly fine!
Yes but it’s funny after Henna we always go back
What kind of dye and what color did you use over your henna?
I missed bob stella so much I’m so happy she’s back!❤
Light mountain Henna it’s the best been using it for five years all natural I use the Red absolutely stunning
The style of shirt, hair, jewelry, makeup looks so amazing on Stella!
The green didn't look that bad on camera. The pinky red is really nice!

Mines never melted and I went through a phase of dying my hair every shade of red going
@@crystal-eb5rf yeah, I've never had any melting either, just damage 😕

Did you use bleach? I’ve been using light Mountain henna for three years love the red, but want to lighten it abit

OMFG THANK U FOR DOING THIS. IM GROWING MY HENNA OUT RN
Although mine also has indigo in it which is further compilation but still! Love a scientific inquiry
This lighting is soooo much better!
Absolutely love this kind of videos! We learn so much thx to you ❤
Wonderful video, great info! Also love love love the nails!!!
I think u went with the 3rd wig case -but I also like the more blue interior one
You definitely do not need to cut off the hair for a strand test(coming from a hairdresser)

There were quite a few people on the original video who also mentioned that it could turn green.
Great video! So much misconception circulating the internet regarding henna- glad you did your homework! 👏

Good chance it was a fake Henna. Should only be one ingredient, it sounds like it had PPD in it.
obviously the pink/berry color. ❤
I used henna for the first time in 2022 and eventually my blonde came back. It was a semi-permanent henna (which apparently doesn’t exist?)

I’ll admit though that the red tones from the henna are pretty stubborn, so there’s a bit of brass in the back and has been hard to get past dark blonde/light brown.
Back in the day I dyed my hair with black henna (obviously not natural) and put bleach over it later. Hair was perfectly fine.
Can't wait to see the burgundy hair Stella 😜
I'm curious to know what would happen if you use color remover.
I had khadi henna on my hair and tried color oops color remover.

Edit: the ✨ were wonky
Ooooh, great video and so informative!
I loved this video!
I never had a problem with henna working but unfortunately it turned red then black, I hated it because I thought it was going to stay red.
The green and bleach test strand… Years ago I bleached the front of my hair,it went orange (my hair is dark,didn’t use right % peroxide 🤷🏻♀️😅) anyway,trying to darken it ,I used the semi permanent of the time,Harmony..the triangular box thing(Uk folk of my age will know lol) that wasn’t good,I henna’d my hair black, it was fab,until the front faded..to khaki green… 🙈😂..

As you said henna is totally fine without metallic salts. Still an unpredictable product, tho.
I put black box dye on henna colored hair and nothing bad happened. And the result color was deep black and even.
0:35 what song is it ??!! 🙏😱🤩
So curious about the wigs. when are they expected to launch?
March! I'm so excited to launch them because I've been working on them for a year!
Wow, thats's so soon! Looking forward to it!@@StellaCini
I bleached mine, went a bit green but no doesnt melt off lol
Would it be better if you tried it with bleach and a lower developer or with shampoo? (Instead of what you tried?)
I'm going to guess that you went with the second one cause of the emerald green color on the inside but it could also be the last one because it also has an emerald green color on the inside and you love the color emerald green. 😊 12:19
Random question. What color nail polish are you wearing??
In french we say turquoise just like you and spell it the same also 😊
Please come out with a ginger wig
I guess that you chose the last velvet pouch🫶🏽
I used to go by the rule of fuck around and find out until my hair cut off so badly that i had to shave it and start over. That's how i learned why test strands are important lol
This is why I keep all the hair I cut off if over two inches.
On an unrelated note, I found these videos on Snapchat's Discover by the name The Beauty Chameleon. Is this Stella's or is someone reposting?
Probably someone else's.
I hope Stella sees this and reports that account
I always like the haircolor videos 🙂, I can't really relate to the wig videos😔
Orange red
I’ve never heard of cutting off hair for a strand test…. What is going on?
Girl next time don’t cut your Hair for the test take the Hair from brush its better I think 🥰
I love her sense of humor 😅😅😅😅😅 she would have definitely done it sooner 😂😂😂
Ok... i dont want to sound anything but the test should been done with the hair in the scalp because its the scalp who reacts not the hair.... lol....
Exactly
you did something with your teeth ?
❤
why did you cut the strands off? cant you just do it on the head?
Easier for her her to see and show in the video
In germany we say Türkis. 😊
I really don't know where these urban myths that hair will "melt off" come from - they're just so idiotic! ;)
#3❤
You definitely don’t need to cut your hair to do a strand test, but kudos for the commitment
Really disappointed my comment disappeared
You are gonna get sick what are you doing to your head,it is too much and too often
Of course you're going pink..I mean...who you kiddin 😉😃🩷
