Are you guys excited for this reaction video!? It was SO fun to film and it was so exciting to see Brad Mondo go into this with such an open mind. Who would you want to see Khadija react to next?
Whats the name of the henna do suggest to buy.
@@eloisejackson4303 it depends on what color results you'd like. Please let us know.
Glad you did this! Heck you could do an entire series dedicated to reacting on henna videos gone wrong or right and educate people.
I liked his video too !! I felt he was pretty impressed with the result of henna altogether 😊
@@cl4840 I might do that :) It was a lot of fun.
I think you should contact him for a collab about henna just to have a deeper conversation and maybe even a react
Agree! I dont want to add more chemicals to my hair and I need an option
I TOTALLY AGREE
That what happens when a white personality uses online information to use an authentic hair product....
That would be so entertaining and fun !
Yes ! Cause i love him so he would definitely do it again ! He just honestly trying it !
It’s crazy to me how people are SO trusting of toxic chemicals in nearly ALL of their products but are AFRAID to use plant based/natural products...
Facts! :)
Makes NO sense to me at all!
@@RondaSmith144Empress Yup!
Exactly! The world is upside down.
@@cfoster6804 Yes honestly!
I love how she didn’t get Brad’s weed joke at all. The innocence that is portrayed in that moment is priceless.
What minute ?
@@irmalair1 "i love the smell of leaves" it's fairly early on in the video
@@irmalair1 3:50
I didn't get it till you said it
I didn't either because marijuana is a flower.
I went to cosmetology school and my instructors HATED henna and would slander it sooo badly! They loved my hair though because it was a pretty red color and very healthy. It was, of course, stained with henna. I was too embarrassed to tell them when they would compliment me, but now I look back and laugh.
I think many salons are against it most just due to teaching . But if masses of
Women start using henna to cover grey well that’s going to have a knock on effect on their industry . Chemical hair treatments, I looked them up recently, just to get an idea into the £100s? And then top up treatments crazy crazy prices . So it’s big money for them. Makes sense why they would be critical they don’t want you to use it.
Chemical hair dyes aren’t an option for me . Both in terms of after effects and the hole in my pocket
@Lu’luah The most common argument I hear is that if you use henna, you cannot use traditional hair dyes until the hair grows out. A reaction occurs where it destroys your hair if processed by both ingredients. That's why hairdressers don't recommend it, because they can't do any color if someone comes into the salon with henna. So if you like henna, you stay committed to henna basically
@@anotheryoutuberperson38same like why would i care if i cant use chemical dyes in the future i don’t WANT to use chemical dyes
@@anotheryoutuberperson38 That argument is actually false. I used henna for ~10 years and then got highlights. (We did a strand test first.) The key is you have to be using pure henna without added metals, some hennas have additives. The added metals can interact with the chemicals and cause burning. Anyway, I hated the highlights and used demi-permanent color to cover them up for a while but it washed out so fast. The highlights and chemical color also dried my hair out. I'm now back to henna and my hair looks so much healthier.
Every single time I get my hair cut at the salon, on my way out, the other stylists compliment my COLOR, a beautiful auburn red, thinking I got the color done at the salon. It's hilarious. I've used chemical dyes before and they make my curly fine hair so frizzy and mess up the curl pattern quite a bit. I've gone back to henna. Been using it on and off for almost 15 years.
As someone who has dyed her hair with henna since I was 16 it is absolutely crazy how toxic and rude people are about henna. What’s the craziest part to me is I’ve been using it for so long and have yet to find any cons. I got told constantly that my hair is so pretty and heathy. It has thickened my hair and protected it too. I love my color and slight changes to it always fade out into the original color. I have also been able to bleach it and it took 11 tries for it to actually get it to light color it needed to be because my henna did what? PROTECTED MY HAIR. I was able to bleach my hair to an almost white color with nooooo damage. Henna is the best 🥰
what color is your natural hair?
People should see how beautiful, luscious, healthy and strong our hair is after years of using henna 🤣
I've had hairdressers coo over my hair then do a complete 180 once they hear I only use henna. It really reflects their poor education/ignotance on the topic!
The only bad thing about henna is the permanence. I had my hair dyed with henna and loved it, but keeping up with my roots stressed me out. The grow out process took so long. I do miss the red though.
I’m assuming you’re not a professional hair stylist. That’s the point of view he’s coming from.
when he talked about how there is no research into henna... what about the thousands of years of use, dating back 5000 years into old egypt?
it may be news to white social media influencers but its safety is well known in all of middle east, india, pakistan and africa.
Just because something has been done for thousands of years, doesn't make it 'researched' or safe. There are so many things we stopped doing after researching. I'm not saying henna is unsafe, but something bring extensively tested does make it more safe, right?
Omg for real!!! Just because white ppl aren’t familiar with it, doesn’t mean there hasn’t been tons of research done
Just because white people dont do it also doesn’t mean it is safe - nothing to do with race 🙄
and bangladesh*
nothing to do with race, it doesnt mean its safe either, to believe it or not nothing is safe, a printer isnt safe for human, go look it up, everythng in this world is dangerous
"We don't know what Henna is going to do to your hair long term." Hasn't Henna been used for literally thousands of years in India as a regular hair colouring and conditioning treatment? As in they use it regularly over the literal entirety of their teen and adult lives? Has no one thought to ask an Indian woman this? You'd think this was the latest concoction out of some unknown lab the way this guy is talking not an ancient hair care practice.
Indian woman here, and Id like to say Brad was full of Shiz in his video! Imagine the audacity when calling formulations with 15 or more known carcinogens SAFER than a bunch of leaves
I have not been watching his videos since then. I mean I understand why he'd need to beat down on henna for business reasons, but then dont spread misinformation atleast damn
I'm of African and Indian descent. I saw the video where he was responding to people using henna and he was very negative.
Also, while henna was used in Africa, India and other Middle Eastern countries are known for it and should be asked how to use it.
He has chemicals to sell. That's why he said what he said.
@@checkermaker480 I also stopped watching him after he did this video as a life long henna user and henna being a significant part of my culture I was very offended by this video and I'm surprised he had the audacity to actually post it. Really showed his true colors and ignorance to how meaningful of a thing henna is in some cultures.
@@romanaa7070 indeed. It was very insensitive of him. I work with formulations, and hair dyes are one of the most nocuous compositions there are🤷🏽♀️ I've known of Ppl losing their whole head of hair after one round of bleach and dyeing.
Very uninformed and misleading video that
No I think he means there has been no scientific studies on the effects of henna on the hair. Fear of the unknown basically.
But yeah he could have been a bit more culturally sensitive in the manner he was addressing this topic for sure.
I started using Henna when I was 16, my bestie's mom had brought me back a whole bunch from Pakistan because her son had told her about me planning on dying my hair red. She didn't want me to ruin my fine hair with the harsh chemicals so she taught me the traditional way to use it. I always add lavender and tea tree oil too, for added moisture and it really compliments the smell of the henna. Like a feild of tall blooming flowers and grass. I've tried box dyes and having my hair professionally done but it NEVER gets the same results. I naturally have light auburn hair but prefer brighter red hair. I find it to take on a life of it's own, like the spirit of the henna plant knows exactly what shade of red your hair should be for you. I've reccomended it to a lot of friends who feel bored with their natural hair, just a light mask and it changes your look completely; leave it a little longer and it's like a whole other person. LOVE LOVE LOVE henna.
P.s. I once dropped a little henna on my dog's head on accident while playing.... she still looks like she has a sauce stain 2 years later 😅 makes her cuter in my opinion, it just blends in with her other markings.
The spirit of henna know what’s up🙌🏽
Wonder how long it will last in my hair I used it for first time
Can you reply how long has your henna lasted that you found out?! Thanks
Pssst. Everything is chemicals (I know what you meant, but still)
(Edit: I’m a 100% pure henna user and have never dyed my hair with hairdressing chemical dyes, but let’s not kid ourselves that ‘chemicals’ is a bad word... Dihydrogen monoxide is something EVERYONE should be taking for example 🤪😅)
i keep telling my aunt this, she literally got pissed at a pizza place for putting citric acid and garlic powder on their ingredient list oml.
gotta get the chemical hydration!
Thank you, I get so frustrated when I hear people saying "that has chemicals in it" Well, Sh*t of course it does, EVERYTHING does. I try to be nice but sometimes it hurts my brain to hear that statement
People should know that even water and air are both chemicals,
10000% correct
This was the video that was needed. His name will bring people here and hopefully will be more informed. I used Lushs henna it’s more of a henna gloss. The color isn’t strong and from my experience easily changeable. I’m glad he revisited henna and tried to learn. He still needs to understand a bit more and I hope he will see this video.
He did a great job though, I'm so excited he even gave it a try! It was a wonderful way to start a conversation about henna! I would love for him to see this and maybe give it another try in the future 😉
Oh so lush henna is easy to remove without damaging ? I might get it in future then :)
THIS makes me want to try it. I've only died my hair once when I was younger I hated the color so I've never done it again but I've got a little gray coming now if I can find someone to do this I'm gonna try it thanks for the awesome video
The Lush one is definitely a gloss situation with cocoa butter and stuff like that, and I found it way more messy (the burgundy I was using had coffee grounds in it). I’m a Henna Sooq do or die fan. Red Raj with hibiscus powder is my jam!
Everyone interested in trying henna should watch this! There were so many misconceptions in the chat of the original video. Henna can be very fun, and it’s not hard to learn how to do it correctly! Thank you Khadija!
Exactly. Agreed! Thank you and you're welcome!
Fun Fact: Lucille Ball of I Love Lucy fame used henna to get her fiery red/orange hair color.
Really? I had no idea!
@@HennaSooq Yep.🙂
Ok so, that is one of the best fun facts I've heard in a while!
@@womanzuzu9688 😊
@@cfoster6804
I never would’ve thought it.
When he came out with a “box” of henna dye.....I’m like NO THAT’S NOT HENNA. My husband actually calls henna as “Earth Vomit.” But I love Henna Sooq, and I get all of my hair henna products from Khadija. ❤️❤️❤️
Hey, I'm Brazilian and I've used the brand he is using in the video. This brand sells a creamy weak version, but they also sell the actually herb powder, which is what Brad used. However, the manufacturer's instructions in this brand are bullshit and if you follow the leaflet you are left with a thick mixture and not proper pigmentation. You basically have to be in the loop to use it right, which is bad product design but it is, in fact, henna
My Uncles call it pigeon poop
Pro tip : Add natural lemon juice to the henna batter. I think it helps in darkening the colour and/or making it last longer. I am an Indian guy and my mom used to dye her hair with henna when I was a kid. Also, if you get a henna tattoo, spray/sprinkle lemon juice on top of the tattoo as its drying (before washing it off) to make it darker and make it last longer.
when brad said his henna dye wasn’t tested on animals, I got thrown back to the time I visited Mauritania where the white horse next to our house had his tail dyed and it was BRIGHT orange
The sad thing is that that isn’t animal testing. Animal testing injects the product into the animal
..that’s not animal testing. Animal testing is a lot darker.. look up the save Ralph campaign
I didn’t want to imply that animal testing is something “innocent” as dying a horse’s tail. It just reminded me of that time. Animal testing is of course much worse
@@diekje8728 oh okay!! I used to think animal testing was putting lipstick on monkeys so I thought you had that same mindset lmao
@@dong2793 no problem! My choice of words wasn’t the best and the subject allows for misunderstanding
I’m a henna girl from way back. 29 years now. One of the most amazing things about henna is the grow-out. For some reason, the roots are indistinguishable during grow out. My daughter, who’s hair is mid blond naturally, can have 6 inches of grow-out and for whatever reason, you can’t see a line. It’s super magical.
It mostly cause the color fades so naturally that it's hard to see the line,from my experience you can't see it indoors but under direct sunlight it's visible.
Can I used henna in colored hair I have dark brown hair but I colored red and I wonder if my rots would be darker than the red hair ?
@@kopec82 my mom used to use henna on her hair a lot when she was younger. She said it give it a really nice orange-red glow when the sun shone on it (she has black hair and would just apply it on top)
@@kopec82 I am sure your hair will dye darker in time when your roots grow out. Because it doesn't bleach. But because it's a natural product, you will not see a line and it will blend in. Beside, the roots are always darker because it was never in the outside. Sun makes your hair lighter so it is normal that the ends are lighter than the roots. You understand? I am not native English so I need a lot of words to explain things lol
@@annnoyez thank you for answering !
That shine from henna can’t be beat 💥
Yes so true!!!!
Agreed
He should have watched you first and ordered REAL henna from you
Say it again!! :)
Yessir
Tjats so true...
Time for a part 2
My hair grows around 7-8 inches a year. The only time I've ever tried coloring it with box color... it only grew 4 inches that year. Yeah I'm not sure a lot of stylists know what a healthy scalp really is.
That's so true. Hair is dead (past the root), your scalp is what is still alive.
Never dyed my hair with henna before, the hair thickening property really sold me.
It doesn't have to be henna, there are multiple plant powders you can use, cassia is almost transparent :D
I am a natural redhead, inching towards 50 which is when my mom's hair started fading. My hair color is so much of my identity. I don't want to lose it. I've never dyed my hair, it's healthy virgin hair, and I don't want to damage it with chemical dye ever. Subscribed and bookmarking your store page for when it's time to color my hair.
This is how I found myself here. I am getting whites now and my hair is beginning to fade. Henna seems like the way for me to go. I'm trying to learn and I'm going to try it soon. Wish me luck!
Ditto. My hair is naturally dark auburn and box dye is hiding that, makes me sad... but I’m not ready to grow my grays out at age 36.
I did it! I used Lush rouge henna and my hair looks INCREDIBLE. I'm in love with the result. Covered all my whites beautifully and my hair is so vibrant.
I’m a natural redhead, but it’s going more towards brown as I age, which I don’t like. I love bright copper hair, and doing that chemically was expensive and fades so quickly. The Moroccan henna is cheaper and more permanent than any salon colors. I’ve been using henna off and on - with some chemical dyes jobs in between - for 5 years. I keep coming back because you just can’t get this color with the staying power from salon dyes. I use tea as the mixing liquid and some coconut oil to add moisture. I added lavender essential oils this time, too.
I love Brad videos. So glad for this video, hope he sees it.
I hope so too!
Henna is such a normal part of my beauty routine. I am mixed race german/turkish. I always joke about the fact that I got that german personality from my father and the passion & looks from my mother. I grew up with my mother treating my hair with henna every few months and now as a adult I do it myself. Like it was thousands of years ago in Byzantium.The women in our family carried this tradition into the modern times teaching their daughters how to care for their hair with henna.
And let me tell you there are not wrong. Henna is the best thing you can do for hair.
You can definetely tell that he's really impressive with the healthy looking locks and that shine in the end!
Definitely!
Last week I used your henna and indigo to color my grey hairs, and I loved it! I added aloe and amla powder, and it felt so nice and made my hair very soft and the color turned out beautifully! I’m starting to love the Ayurvedic treatments and have ordered some fenugreek and shikakai as well to try those out. Looking forward to it! Thank you for your tutorials and guidance on Ayurvedic hair care! 🧡
Welcome! That really does sound like your hair is SO happy!!
I used pure powdered henna on and off my brown hair during the 80s and nineties to get this wonderful auburn gloss (and no harsh regrowth lines) and only really switched to box dyes permanently when my hair started having a lot of white, which henna looks awful on. It always made my hair beautiful, to the point hairdressers asked what I used, and commented on its great condition. It never reacted with any other dye I put on, because I only used pure henna. I find it sad that so-called hairdressers are so ignorant about a plant dye that has been used and tested for thousands of years before hair salons even existed. Plus, hairdressers routinely damage clients' hair with various chemicals and their own incompetence, I have no idea why they're so sanctimonious about henna.
So true!
This is so true!!!
Wait, why would henna look awful on white hairs? I have fading red and some white.
I ALWAYS get compliments at the salon when I go get a haircut. Honestly, I think they like when I come in because my color is vibrant and people think it is freshly colored by the salon. 😁
@@lockergr it can look in your face orange. But I have white hair near my ears and the odd strand in the body of my hair. If I consistently dye every 4-6 weeks it builds up to more of a red colour , fiery red . I was thinking if I go 50% white will I use henna. Well if it looks orange rather than red I won’t be using it. You can use indigo after pure henna to get darker red, brown to black but I’m not sure I want to. I tried Indigo and it just comes out after 2 weeks . To me it’s not worth the two step or process. So if I can achieve a red colour I will continue to use it . If not I will go full white . I’d rather have healthy white hair than damaged chemical dyed hair.
I have noticed I get more volume and shine in my hair. But my hair is very shiny already so I don’t need more it can weigh it down for me soon after dying. But a couple of days later it’s back to normal .
Every time I go to the hair salon the conversation is the same:
"Wow, this is gorgeous colour, who did your hair?"
"It's henna, I do it at home!"
*Silent judgement from hair stylist*
I love your herbs. My skin is SO SENSITIVE and I have not had an allergic reaction to any of your herbs.
That's great!
I love henna. I used it before I got sick with blood cancer but now after being diagnosed, I will stick with Henna for sure. I wish there were more people who are around who know how to use Henna. I wish there was a henna salon I could go to that specializes in this treatment.
Get well soon. Be strong. You can get true it. Big hugs from Belgium...
Faith move mountains. Get well
You should definitely react to more henna application videos! It's entertaining to watch and helps to dispel myths
I definitely will!
been using Henna since my childhood. it feels earthly and heavenly everytime i apply! aligns my aura!! ❤ Love from India!
Personally, I have always thought that henna paste looks like matcha chocolate 😅 always makes me hungry 😋😂
now that you’ve said this i can’t unsee
i am so sorry but i thought brad was extremely condescending and borderline disrespectful in this video, especially with the way he was knocking it down before even trying it properly, not to mention the constant comparisons to poop.... props to you for being so calm in educating us on henna dyes x
I’ve been a Henna Sooq user for a while now (just received my latest Jamila order today in fact!!) and I absolutely love Khadija’s approach to Brad’s video. When I first saw Brad’s vid, I was frustrated with the lack of research he did and the sorta dismissive attitude he took to the whole process. But her patience in explaining step by step the right information, and the lighthearted way she responded to his comments was so sweet! I definitely love using henna, and Henna Sooq is my favorite source for sure! 😊
Agreed…chemicals can build up in the body from the commercial hair dye and can be toxic over time. Especially how often one needs to dye when we’re trying to hide greys.
I love how you explained the truth about henna and somehow managed to stay so chill (I wouldn't have because I'm petty af) even when he was being kinda disrespectful
i don’t think he was disrespectful at all, it was coming from his pov and he was just learning
When tf was he being disrespectful lmao.
he can be a bit blunt but disrespectful ??
I loved this video. I’ve seen this guy before and I believe he’s very open to learning different techniques. I would love to see you both on a Q&A. I think you guys would have a ball 😄
Right? I would love that!
Your personality is gorgeous. You seem to have such a understanding and positive attitude. I love that. I came here bc I was clueless about henna. I now realized I came to the right place! I now have a better understanding of henna and how it works. I personally LOVED the after results. It was a lovely red color. Much better than the color it was before that’s for sure. Thank you again ♥️
Whenever someone says henna looks poop it makes me soo angry. I love the smell and colour of henna. It prevents hair fall and deep conditions. Just love it.
After about 3-4 years of dying my hair with any bleach and store bought dye I could find, since I went to a hairdresser once and she charged me over $100 for doing whatever she felt like instead of what I asked, I found henna. I love the red it gives me, I've used it once and need to redo it soon... but it's beautiful, my hair feels healthy, and I may be a minority in it but I absolutely LOVE the horse barn/timothy hay smell of it. 10/10.
I think he made the mixture (besides being too thick) and put it straight on the hair, instead and letting it seat for a couple hours. preferably covered so that the color would start coming out, THEN apply it to the hair. that's what I've been doing and I only have to do my roots and dye the whole hair once a year. I use, of course, 100% pure henna and water only, so it's different, I guess
I read that you shouldn't let it rest when you use indigo, and Brad's mix included indigo.
I always use my henna and indigo mix immediately. But I do leave it on for hours.
Brad totally needs to collaborate with you. Happy ramadan and your green eye-liner is super cool!
I remember when I was thinking about doing henna hair for the first time, my friend said it made a huge mess to wash out, but I had no worse of a mess than i would with all the other hair dye ive used
Same. I read someone's comment about the henna pulling out her hair when she rinsed it. I can only guess that she allowed it to dry, like a mud pack, on her hair. Then she was probably too rough when trying to rinse it out.
I found it a bit difficult the first time, but now I find it easy. Plus, there are no harsh chemicals to get in your eyes.
Loved your input on this. I use 70% Moroccan henna, 30% cassia, and two tablespoons of amla, mixed with chamomile tea and a splash of vinegar. I get the prettiest deep copper over my dark blonde hair every time 🥰 Henna Sooq really is the best.
Used in The Middle East and North East Africa for hair for much longer and the benefits are documented from those places too. Why are people saying we have to ask someone Indian? Indian henna is amazing but Indians don’t own the right to use it and people need to stop saying it’s appropriation. It’s used globally. The oldest documented usage is in Syria and Egypt. One of the best books on this history of henna is written by an Indian lady who vouches for this.
I’m a henna artist =) enjoy henna everyone. It’s beautiful!
I am so happy you made this video.
He only left it on for an hour. When I use henna I leave it on for at least 3 hours. It's covered in cling film and a towel for 2 hours, then air dry for the last hour. The softness and shine is second to none, and once you start using it regularly, the colour gets deeper.
Welcome and thank you for watching :)
I'm turning 50 this year and I started using Henna when I was 16. My hairdresser is a fan of my hair colour and thinks it's great that I use Henna. I know start to get single white hair, but since Henna is covering them, it looks like I have natural highlights lol. I will have to check out your other videos :)
I have naturally dark hair, so had a bleach adventure a while back so I could try out light pastel colours. It was fun, but absolutely DESTROYED the quality of my hair. Going on a henna dye regimen really helped to restore my hair back to health! :)
I noticed that Brad seems to have taken his henna video down. Thank you for this one and your reactions and input. I thought he achieved an absolutely beautiful color on that mannequin’s natural hair. As a boring dishwater blonde, Henna is now on my to-do list!
Love this reaction video. When Brad mentioned “keeping it forever” he was referring to the fact that you need to let it fade and grow out. Adding traditional western colour products over henna can have interesting, and sometimes scary, results.
I don't think it will ever fade away tho. If you want it gone, you need to cut your hair
Yepp, like when people want highlights... bad idea
@@clarrie93 it does “fade”, eventually. I used henna for a whole year, every 8 weeks. Had to leave my hair alone for over a year before my hair stylist would colour or perm it for me.
Dye stays forever too though. You have to bleach it if you want to get it out
@@tanzanite8908 I didn't dye my henna hair for a year and it were still kind of red once I decided to dye it (with henna) again.
Love how you explained this khadija! My hair has completely transformed after using your herbs . Now thanks to the henna I have this beautiful reddish tone to my hair ❤️
aawww thank you too!!!!
You’ve seriously inspired me. I was in cosmology but as you, I didn’t want to learn about using chemicals or use them at all! So I sadly gave up. I can’t wait to start your class. Thank you for spreading a healthy message💞 I’m going to be dying my own hair and getting some henna for mendi😍
This has been recommended to me by the algorithm and I gotta say you're doing a great job! I learned quite a lot and might even think about using henna to color my hair in the future, but first I gotta watch more of your vids 😊
I was using chemical colors for years. I recently tried Hennasooq's henna + indigo and I'm never going back to chemical colors. And my hair has shine it's never had before AND I was able to get the color I wanted. I switched to henna mostly as a result of the pandemic, but not only that, it just so happened that shortly before the pandemic hit, traditional chemical hair dye was linked to cancer. Consider me a convert for life.
So happy you match the switch! 💙🌿
@@HennaSooq me too!!
It definitely goes into your bloodstream. My pee is always green the next morning 🙊. Especially if I leave it on overnight. But nothing to worry about. I've been using it for over a decade, and have never had an adverse effect. It's just kind of startling if you weren't expecting that.
I have a PPD allergy, and a lot of sensitivities to ingredients in oxidative hair dye. I haven't missed it though since I discovered henna. There have been plenty of studies on the allergens and carcinogens in oxidative hair dye.
I was horribly allergic to PPD chemical in hair dye and also black jeans. Beware!!!!
@@debracole3699 Funny you mention that. I used to work at a clothing store and folding the jeans and dark clothing made my hands and arms itch, sometimes it would even leave a rash. I bet it's some of the same dyes! Thanks for making the connection.
Hello from morocco. I just wanted to say that natural henna without any added ingredient is the best for all hair types. The difference is in how to use it. I have a really dry fine hair and I've been using it ever since I was a child every week or too. What I do is that I soak my hair with oils a night before using henna and I keep it wet on my hair for like 1h30 or 2h and then I rinse it. I never had problem with it. After drying my hair with a towl I apply my hair creme and oil or serum and it did wonders to my hair. It thickens it and the best thing is that it gives my hair a nice firy glow under the sun. It is not only a hair dye but it is a hair treatment.
That sounds amazing! Love that!!!
I became severely allergic to chemical hair dye at the same time that my hair became really grey. Now, I'm not against pretty grey hair, but not the dull pepper that outweighs the salt in my hair!
So, I turned to henna. If I'd tried this years ago, I never would have used harmful chemicals! My hairdresser is always amazed at how beautiful my hair is - its condition and shine. I just wish that I had a hairdresser that I could go to when I need to dye my hair - I always get into a mess 😆 At least the henna and indigo mix I use washes off the sink and floor better than chemical dye, as well as not staining my skin 🙂
I, too, just had a horrible reaction to permanent hair dye. I had always used semi-permanent. I had let it grow out for 4 years, and it was brown in the back with gray streaks in the front. So, I tried permanent dye. I kinda liked my gray hair, but it is aging. I tested the dye on my elbow--no reaction. It started burning like hell-fire a week later and has been burning off and on for a month and a half. I was miserable. It has settled down now. Never any dyes with PPD chemical in them!!! Now I want to henna my hair, but am almost afraid to. I am reading all I can about it. Wish me luck!
So glad I found this channel through Brad Mondo!
Henna is a miracle product!I have thick straight hair .My natural colour is light golden brown with honey blonde highlights. i used hanna bc i've gotten bored of it.Henna made my hair reflecting, blinding shining,it gave them even more body,and the colour!!The colour was a divine copper redish that seemed so natural because the tint was not opaque!I was told to mix my henna powder with chamomile tea for a lighter hue and leamon for a deeper one!Some old lady told me that they use the peels of onions for darker ,richer red tones but never tried that one!I wish more pple in my country (Greece) knew about henna!!
Love this Khadija !! Brad should have tried with Raj and Djamilla for example. Women in my family have been using henna for ever, they have the most gorgeous hair, healthy with beautiful copper/reddish highlight. I have virgin hair well only used henna as well and I wouldn't trade it. I love watching Brad Mondo video tho :)
Imagine if he would dye his hair with henna 😱😱😱
He definitely needs to dye his hair with henna! 😉
This is HILARIOUS! The stylist from raw curls organic used henna on her hair. (From the curly hair q & a) I think you will find her review interesting. She hadn’t used henna before and gave an interesting review. She tried it on her hair before using it on her client. (If I remember correctly)
Ohh I will have to check that out!
I love how positive you are. And how you are so willing to go more in-depth on each topic ❤️
I’m sticking to henna. I’ve been using henna from Henna Sooq for over 10 years and I’ll stick to it OR stop coloring all together if I want to bring out my gray. I can’t deal with chemicals especially since I used them when I permed my hair and my hair was just snapping off and it didn’t matter WHAT color or brand I used. Plus I have a really sensitive scalp so why bother with more drama. I love that the owner has no problems answering question if I need help. Great customer service and with a big beautiful smile...okay I’ve talked to her and her husband in person so I know the smile😂.
Thank you!!!!!!!!
I mix my henna with a natural silicone free conditioner, so it’s a very light tint on my hair. It gives such a wonderful warmth and glow.
I’m not afraid of “chemicals”, I dye my hair copper with color dye (and also my roots, because it’s easier), but I do use henna to keep the color bright!
To me is necessary to use color dye to get some tones lighter. If I used only henna I wouldn’t get the result I wanted because my natural color is too dark and I want a “natural-copper ginger” look if that makes sense lol
I do this but instead of using dye I use just developer (20vol) to lighten my roots and then Henna. This way althought you are using chemicals, you're not using nearly the same amount that you use when you dye your hair. You're just using basically peroxide. This works for me because I'm a natural level 6 and I'm only aiming for lightening 1-2 shades.
This was immensely satisfying to watch, the open minded approach to experimentation, communication and education is just beautiful.
The haircare industry needs more of this.
I am a Curly and Coily stylist who is apprehensive about offering henna as a full colour service due to its unpredictability and time constraints, but with these new golden nuggets about tone difference between Moroccan and Indian Henna and possibly processing henna with steam and heat I am going back to the drawing board.
I can't wait to join the upcoming professional course .
I would love to see Brad react to your reaction of his video too. Let's keep sharing and learning between stylists and manufacturers.
I completely agree! He was so open minded and willing to learn and understand! So excited for you to join our course!
Man I used to watch his videos when he was smaller, but after he melted that poor girls hair off and did the "box dye vs professional dye" I just haven't been able to watch him. As far as I still know he hasn't apologized or said anything about those instances since. I'm wondering now how much research into this henna brand he's using in this video, because with just a little research you find time and time again that you can't just use any henna brand. Not all henna is created equal.
I'm definitely going to have to watch more of your videos, you have such a nice personality and will to share your knowledge.
You mentioned that you love how Brad goes about explaining things and the processes, which is what I loved too. My aunt has been a hairdresser since before I was born (I'm 27) so I've always been around hair, bleach, dying, not so much henna but I have looked into it myself, not as much as you though. The one thing about the videos I mentioned above, is that he's a professional and has a platform and should professionally address such issues. I think thats what rubbed me the wrong way and so I haven't been able to watch him since.
I tried henna. It really strengthens hair and makes it shiny!!! Loved it!!
Of course he'll prefer "classic" hair dye , that's all he knows! Rather than saying the cons outweigh the pros, it's more of like a ton of experience with regular hair dye versus zero experience with henna 😂😂 The only thing that's true is that removing the henna color is indeed difficult (not impossible bur definitely difficult)
And he has his own line of hairdye so he knows all about that, so he would be more comfortable with it.
You can't make different colours with henna tho, that's sounds like a pretty major downside
2 Queens, a marble queen pothos and you.
I love henna. I am in germany and my hairdresser does my highlights over my henna, and gives me tips how to apply it and when, so I am lucky that they are so neutral or positives about natural dyes.
I haven't done henna in years since my grandma has passed away, I'm glad I found your channel so I can learn to do it myself!
I had the same opinion of Brad Mondo using henna that he has no idea what he's doing and poorly representing henna heads to the entire internet which is shameful and a tiny bit disrespectful to all the cultures
who have used it appropriately and well for thousands of years! Cheers!
I could listen to you defend henna all day honestly. I'd love for him to respond and you both talk about the contrasts in applications of colour. I really enjoyed this!
Brad's video convinced me of trying henna 😂 I'm watching this with henna on my hair right now.
Your facebook group is amazing. Thank you for all the info!
Yes it does thicken fine hair, and if you have oily hair, it will reduce the amount of times you need to shampoo the excessive oil out. So I found it very therapeutic.
I have used henna for over ten years, this year I have budged and tried semi-permanent hair dye and...honestly, it was so much more hassle. So I’m back to henna now
Yeah!!!!
I actually wish that I had never used commercial dye before I discovered henna. I am convinced that there is residual damage from the chemicals and as I have extremely fine hair and delicate wave/curls, it really messed with my hair's texture. Henna is lovely and preserves and protects my hair - I'm a convert for life!
@@ajh2295 Yes, the peroxide lifts the "scales" of your hair, and conditioning it lays them back down somewhat, but it will never be like hair that wasn't ever colored with an oxidative dye. Don't worry though, it will grow out. It also damaged my scalp, which henna helped heal. It took about 2-3 years to notice the full effects because my hair had to grow out enough, and my scalp had to heal for new hair to grow in. But in the end it was worth it, not just my hair, but my scalp and hair follicles now are so healthy!
I just love Henna! I use it for years now and I always have great results. I dye my hair myself and leave it in for 3 hours. The colour is so red and pretty. And it's much more healthier than those chemical dyes. So, everybody who wants to have beautiful red hair, give it a try.
I used to color my hair with henna (only henna powder, not one of the mixes) and mine did lift when I bleached it. I got a result similar to when I previously bleached black(chemical) color. Which is fine because red hair dye is also difficult to get completely blonde so you usually don’t go red if you are planning to go blonde any time soon..
Henna saved my hair! I was losing hair from stress and henna helped and boosted my confidence :)
aaww that makes me so happy to hear!!!
This is so unexpected! I didn’t see this coming! But I’m here for it.. thank you for clarifying myths and continuing to educate us about henna. I’m new to it and haven’t done a mask yet just a gloss.. love this!
Welcome and thank you! It was a lot of fun doing a reaction video hehe!
When I was a teenager, many many years ago. My first experience with colouring my hair was with henna.
I used to go to an Arabic nut shop that would sell it. I remember my friend and I used Hibiscus tea to enhance the colour.
We used to get so many compliments on how nice and shinny and healthy our hair looked.
We both had dark brown natural hair and came out with amazing vibrant red shades.
From my experience I enjoyed it and my parents didn’t mine me colouring my hair since it was natural.
I enjoyed this video
I love that Brad is always ready to try new stuff, and I very much enjoyed seeing commentary from someone who has extensive experience with henna. Thank you for the breakdown, HennaSooq!
i like how you're respectful and accepting towards his opinions on henna and all prepared to educate about it ✨ maam ✨
I like watching Brad’s videos, but I felt like he wasn’t being fair to henna.
I have very long dark hair. It gets a bit lighter and slightly reddish towards the ends. In the past, I’ve had my hair chemically dyed by a professional, used a Lush henna bar, and used pure henna powder.
Based on the cost, my lifestyle, and the effects, I liked the henna powder best. It left me with a nice long lasting color, was pretty easy to apply and work with, didn’t cost much money, and was safe. It also didn’t damage my hair.
Though I will admit, the henna bar from Lush was very moisturizing. I definitely looked up the moisturizing ingredients afterwards.
That was fun to watch. I'm a licensed cosmetologist, but am a huge fan of natural hair care. I'm currently learning about ayurvedic herbs and LOVE your channel. My response to his complaint that the color is unpredictable is color correction. Lol! Anytime hair is being chemically altered, there are a ton of variables that go into the final result. Even knowing the correct formula, you need to take into account the hair's health and previous treatments. So henna is the same, you just need to experiment a bit to get the right process for the desired result.
I also TOTALLY agree with you about why there aren't funded studies. No one wants to pay because there isn't a huge lobby for henna. It's a naturally growing plant with no gigantic profit margin so no on will pay to study it. That doesn't at all mean there's no benefit! Think of all the studies on vegetables. Ever heard of the amazing effects of parsnips? Didn't think so.
My biggest takeaway from this reaction video is that you are amazing. I love your content. There is so much information and i appreciate you taking the time to break everything down. Thank you!!!
Hubs acct to reply. There’s a rival company where the owner has a PhD & did her dissertation work on henna. She wrote a book on it, indigo, cassia, plant derived hair products, etc., and she tests ALL her offerings. THAT, plus the millions of users from around the globe, sold me on henna. Nice to read a trained professional addressing the critiques of henna. I’m 9-yrs in, with thick, long, always complimented hair. Imma stayyyyy right HERE!!!
it'd be really interesting to see a collab between you two! hopefully Brad finds this video! he has a trend with collabs where he'll do the guests hair, maybe eventually(after covid isn't as much of a risk) he could instead be the guest getting his hair done!
i couldnt take my eyes off your plant!!!! WHAT A BEAUTY!
Thank you so much. When I saw it, I had to have it :) I actually JUST repotted it and placed it a little higher up in the background.
I tried henna twice, love it, but... I did have an MAJOR allergic reaction (I have severe food/environmental allergies), but my one daughter loves henna too!
I haven't applied henna to my hair in over 30 years. I used dark ash blonde to tone down the brassy tones after highlights. I mixed with hot coffee. I usually applied about a week after my highlights It also made my fine coarse hair less tangled.
We put the henna on overnight with plastic on our head. And I LOOOOOVE the smell of it. When I was a little girl my mom used to put a spoonful of henna mud in my fist before bedtime then close it with newspaper like a boxing glove then in the morning I would wash my hands and the imprint of a beautiful reddish brown swan would be on my hands for about 3 weeks and I kept my palm on my nose the whole time for the smell 😍😍😍😂 I miss those times.
Sometimes my skin would be irritated from the wetness of henna overnight but a little cream or lotion would solved the problem
thats the most respectful reaction ive ever seen usually poeple are more deffensive of their favorit product.. its also very educative thank you so much
He owns an apology to us for calling our holy and cultural henna "shit" .
How do you like to use henna?
@@HennaSooq I use natural henna on my hair. I pluck fresh leaves,grind them and apply on my hair. We also use henna to paint our palms for celebration or beauty purpose. I appreciate your work on henna ❤️
A lot of reaction videos are done just to belittle someone with sarcasm. You dear lady, did none of that . You were very polite and open minded. Nicely done.
I think the safety of henna is certainly supported by tradition, but it would be cool to have research done to understand how it works and how we can best take advantage of its properties
see i love both options for the hair, changing it up doing crazy colors and using henna as well! i’m going to be doing henna again after enjoying bleached and light pink hair for awhile. i love henna because of how it coats the hair and protects it better that semi permanent hair colors (which can be formulated really well to coat but it’s not the same as henna) i think there are too many stigmas on both sides, talking about chemicals being bad and henna being bad. everything has chemicals, natural or man made, and just because there hasn’t been as much research on henna it can be an incredible experience for your hair! henna will always be healthier than bleaching your hair so going for a natural color witching your same level or hair and keeping it healthy henna will always be a better choice for not getting damage!
I LOVE henna! But my hair is so thick that I need a lot and it so hard to rinse it out, plus it has clogged my drain, and it's messy. I can only do it in the summer...but BABAAAY!! When I finally finish the treatment, I have this glossy defined thick strong luscious hair! Just lovely!!
Try adding an egg or some conditioner once it has dye released. I use an egg, it is like a protein treatment and makes the henna go on more smoothly. I have fine short hair, but I have read many people with more hair fill the bathtub and soak with their hair under the water, slowly massaging it out. Then you of course take a shower like normal. That seems like it wouldn't clog the drain, since it has thinned out and diluted the paste. I have done it this way also, and soaking in the bath of henna did not dye my skin or stain my tub. If it does stain the tub, bleach removes it. Hope that helps!
@@jessicah3450 thank you!!
You have a wonderful energy about you in this video, I really enjoyed listening to your explanation.
thank you!! you've made my whole day :)
Love the fact she’s so nice when he is being really disrespectful 😤😓
I'm a natural redhead who is getting older and the color is fading. Would you suggest henna as a way to brighten back up?
Go for it
