Decade-long henna/indigo user here, jumping on my hub’s acct. BIGGEST TIP - Do NOT wait 72 hrs to apply indigo - that’s why it didn’t take as well (I can spot low-indigo areas bc my hair is off-black) & a 2nd trmt was needed imo. If you can, apply as soon after washing out henna as possible - same day results are 🔥!
Girl I was blonde and just obsessed how henna feels so I’ve gone to a soft black. I love how glossy and gorgeous my hair is but my indigo runs for days even just running my hands through my hair my nails are blue and the indigo fades in 2 weeks. I don’t even mind colouring often but the running is killing me do you have any tips???
@@stephaniejensen3582 There’s always a little run-off from unattached-to-henna aka excess indigo, but it shouldn’t be the wash/out you describe. It could be attributable to my avoidance of coconut oil in shampoos & such. Coconut oil can remove henna, so if it’s in the first-5, ESP in leave-ins, I avoid it like the plague. 🚫 Hope that helps!
@@jeyceeHello! You seem very knowledgeable. I was wondering is it okay to use indigo by itself on hair that’s already black? I have black hair which has a reddish warm undertone in the sun and want it to be more blue black/jet black. Would it work or I still need to do henna first?
Some of the reasons that I haven't used henna are 1. I didn't really know how to properly use it. 2. I thought it would be messy to work with. 3. I wasn't sure if every hair type (including mine) needed it. 4. I thought it was primarily for naturally straight hair types. 5. I didn't know about the benefits of using it. But I'm glad that you partnered with Curly Proverbz. I'm subscribed to both of your channels. And I'm glad to be learning more and more about henna and herbs. I do have an allergy to sulfa so I'm not sure if that means that I should avoid any haircare regime that includes MSN? I'm only mentioning that because I've noticed that CP has videos were that is used as an ingredient. This was a very informative and great video.
Mine comes out GREAT every tine using your Rajasthani henna and indigo for the 2-step process!! Been using it for years too!! Awesome consistent results plus all the benefits of henna!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video; it answered every concern i have. I have stubborn greys so i will definitely be adding indigo in the first step. I was also concerned about my curls being weighed down the alma the aloe essential oils I cannot wait to get this in my hair. Love the collab also you ladies are a blessing 🥰🙏🏾💖💕💞. Placing order now
I have used henna for color twice now and love it. What stopped me from using it at first was feeling like I couldn't control the color I wanted. The I came to terms that my constant coloring of my hair was killing my type 4 hair. Also I didn't always get the results that the box dye promised either. I have gone to henna and haven't looked back. My hair is thriving 😍.
I dye my stubborn greys a deep rich black with a one ☝️ step method: 3 TBLSPN Henna to 1 cup of indigo. It’s a lot of indigo but my hair comes out black, not green 😆😍💥.
THANK YOU sooooo much for this she answered some questions I had and the timing is perfect because I’m doing henna & indigo treatment this weekend using my Henna Sooq products( 💝💯 ). I love your products and need to investment in more . 👊🏾🙌🏾👏🏾 The ONLY thing I do not like is the that it is time consuming so I have to plan accordingly, however my results are definitely worth the wait !!! 😇
I did the 2-step process adding Indigo in the Moroccan Henna for my very resistant gray hair and then straight Indigo. I still have a tinge red showing through. I feel I'll get dark brown the next time I color my hair but I love the outcome. My hair loves Henna Sooq products.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE CP! B/C of her, my balding stopped and my hair is growing back, filling in! And Henna Sooq, of course! Henna is drying, but the end results are worth it. Just deep condition next wash days
I always have a problem with itchy, sensitive scalp with a bit of a headache when I do the 2 step method on the same day, where henna was left on my scalp for 4 hours and indigo left on for 3/4 hours. It’s always better when I apply the henna one weekend and the indigo the following weekend. So happy that CP did the indigo step, 2 days later. So my question is when the henna is washed out using your shampoo( which I have), is the hair left like that for 2/3 days, no conditioner applied before the indigo is applied? Also when the indigo is washed out, what can be applied? When do I apply my conditioner? I live in the UK and have most of your products, although bought individually not together as a unit.
Hey 👋 since henna can really dry your hair this is what I do 1. Wash hair with shampoo 2. Apply the henna leave for 4hrs 3. Rinse with conditioner nicely while detangling 4. Apply the indigo leave for 4hrs or more 5. Rinse hair with oil free conditioner or plain water to avoid removing the dye, as all henna dyes take up to 48hrs to be released 6. Apply leave-in conditioner then oil the hair 2 or 1 day after application to allow the dye to be locked in. You can put leave-in conditioner after indigo or not depends on you but Iike to put to mosturize my hair and avoid breakage.
I have been coloring my greys in 2 step process of Henna/Indigo from past 2 years. I follow all the steps but still most of the Indigo black color washes away with the first shampoo. After a week I have to color my hair again using only Indigo. Only then I am able to achieve black color which sticks for a long time.

I have used henna and indigo to color my hair for every 6 weeks or so for about two years and as I result I lost my curl pattern even though I added amla. After stopping it within a couple months my curl pattern returned. I did love using it and the color was phenomenal. As a first step to color my stubborn greys I would use 25% henna and 75% indigo. Then follow 100% indigo for the second step. Any suggestions on how to retain the curl pattern using henna.
Awesome job an tips! I did a one step process with 50 split of henne an indigo, an my color is a medium brown,...just like I had when I would dye my hair with color. Thank you both for your continued education. Your so appreciated 💓
Henna is like the primer for the indigo. It helps the indigo to bond to the hair as well. If you use just indigo without the henna application first, your hair will turn blue or green. She has great videos talking about that risk.
I'm starting to learn more about this all from you and curly proverbz and I like what I see. I'm interested in the benefits of the henna treatment and definitely would love to color grays. My concerns are that I don't want my hair to be jet black, just dark brown. I don't want my curls to loosen at all. Post partum and hormones have me working to get my hair to bounce back as it is. And I don't want my hair to dry out. I struggle with keeping my hair moisturized. And I'd love to do the process in just 1 step instead of 2 steps. My question: Should I do the one step process with 70% indigo, 30% henna, mixed with amla and aloe vera to achieve dark brown and not compromise my curl pattern? And if I find that my grays are stubborn, do I just reapply the same cocktail and how long should I wait before reapplying?
In my henna mixture I use all the same ingredients except I use a iron pan and dry roast the Alma power making it black. I use a black tea tonic instead of just hot water. I let the henna mixture sit covered over night in the iron pan.
What color would you recommend for someone who want a chestnut reddish brown look and to cover my gray around my hairline? My problem is my gray comes out copper tone to orange and I’m not wanting that and I don’t want my hair color black either. What would you recommend….?
Hello. For a nice chestnut usually just henna does that very nicely on brown tones of natural hair. But if you have greys or light hair you may need indigo. Chestnut is typically 3 parts henna to 1 part indigo otherwise. You can use our Red Raj with indigo once it comes in stock next month. Preorders start this weekend.
I wear extra large men's tee shirts that I purchased from thrift store or Dollar Tree. So, it doesn't matter that henna gets on it. I'd like to know what the rose bud method is too.
I believe that the 'rosebud' term refers to starting applications at the crown of your head and bantu knot that section afterwards, to keep that hair out of the way as you work your way to the nape. ... hope it helps.
Yes @Gates Family that is correct… I apologize I did not see @lewi h & @J Mason questions until just now 🥴 To reiterate, the rose bud method to apply henna, etc., is when you start from the top of the head to twist a section, and all the other strands of hair around it, until you've picked up all of the hair. It should become a big bun -- giving the appearance of a “rosebud”🌹
If you have cowlics, will henna help straighten out them? If I accidentally get henna on my forehead and/or back of the neck, will it rinse out in the shower after done with the henna treatment or will my skin remain dyed?
It may straighten them out, but we're not 100% sure. Also, the henna will stain your skin. We recommend using our henna care balm around those areas to avoid dying the skin. hennasooq.com/henna-hair-coloring-and-body-care-balm/
If you wipe any henna drips off right away or within about 10 minutes, it shouldn't stain very deeply (therefore also won't last very long), but if you have drips that dried on your skin for the hours you had your hair wrapped up, your skin will remain stained for a few days. It WILL come off naturally since the oils in your skin will repel and expel it. I'm super-pale, so my hairline and drips tend to remain orange for at least 4 or 5 days before washing fully off. If your skin is more oily or if the drip is on an area of skin that is not as delicate or thin, it will come off much faster than if the area is dry (for example, your neck will be free of staining long before your temple area clears up). Applying an oil-based moisturizer to your skin will help lift the staining after the fact. You can gently exfoliate a bit to help lift the dyed area but don't overdo it b/c it will just damage your skin - moisture and conditioning the area works best). If you need alternatives to prepping your hairline, ears, neck area that are low-cost, basically anything that'll act as a barrier works. I use coconut oil sometimes or even do a face mask routine at the same time. Even your usual moisturizer will help block the drips from staining. Just wipe what you can when you're done applying the henna or indigo since the time the drips are left on really affects the strength of the stain that settles.
No, the essential oil will not alter the color results, but there are a lot of benefits of adding essential oils to your haircare. It also adds a nice scent to your hair.
DON’T USE THE METAL SPOON!!! 😱 metals can mess up henna!! On another note, I’ve been trying to achieve a dark brown with a 1:3 ratio of henna + indigo but I keep getting green/blue strands by my roots/grays 😩 any tips? THANK YOU!
She has been using henna/ayurvedic herbs for nearly a decade, so she's not doing a virgin application, it builds up on the hair strand over time. She does have grays, if you look on her channel, she shows this up close.
Im watching this video because i just got box from Henna Sooq in the mail. I took full advantage of the 4th of july promo code and I ordered all the hair color/ care herbs ive been wanting to try on me (raven hair), my bestie (natural light brunette, salon-dyed fading out redhead, aiming for dark blonde) and my mother-in-law (natural dark brunette with greys, semi-permanent box-dye redhead, aiming for healthy and vibrant red with no visible greys or color bleeding and damage). I have been doing the 2step henna/ indigo color process on myself for years. I learned most of what i know from Fareida and Kadijah 💐💐. But ive never used Henna Sooq products. Im so excited and surprisingly not nervous about taking on these 3 heads. Thank you ladies!!!
Concerns: I have used henna and it was working until my edges disappeared! Now I’m not sure if I can continue to use it! I would like to continue to color my greys but I need info on how I can use it safely! I don’t want to start all over again with my edges!
I was taught that if your henna dyes you hair with any color but red it has chemicals in it ! How do you guys have blonde ans all these different colors?
Our products don't contain chemicals. Henna does deposit red color but if you need to achieve darker colors then you'll need indigo for that. For blonde, we have cassia but it won't color dark hair tones but can yield a light golden tone on grey and blonde hair.
I watched this and followed it to color my hair using 70% henna and 30% indigo for a reddish brown color. Oops it turned out carrot orange! I'm afraid to color it again for fear of making it worse. I am salt and pepper with a great deal of grey and silver. What the heck am I going to do? There is a great deal of pressure on me to go to a professional for help but there is no one that specializes in henna.
What color was your hair to start? Try again with 50% henna and 50% indigo. If your hair was light, this is normal. The henna will be much more vibrant on light hair, as you do more applications it will darken. If you do this recipe I just mentioned, you should get a rice reddish brown color.
My hair is currently in a protective style. I have the henna and indigo in my closet, and I will use them once all my hair is out of the current style. Thanks for sharing!
Hello. You can place it in the fridge for 5-7 days. Please use within 7 days of being made (if kept in the fridge). If you have any leftovers you can freezer for up to 6 months.
I am dying to color my hair with henna. I have black hair that is graying in front and want dark hair with a dark red hue. Want it healthier and thicker. Is that possible? How?
You could probably use the two-step technique in this video on just the grey hairs in front - maybe extending the length of time the indigo is left on in the second application and perhaps mixing a bit of henna with indigo to darken the orange effect on the first application. Since your hair is already black, you wouldn't need to do this to all of your hair - just the greys. If those turn out well, you can get the rest of the look you want by simply applying an all over henna application. Because henna is a TINT, it cannot lighten your hair so if you want dark hair with a red hue but your hair is already black, a simple application of just henna will give you your same black hair but your strands will be coated with the tint so when the sunlight hits your hair it will have a reddish hue.
Hello. Make sure you have a very strong shower head so you can ensure it all comes out. Use our Cleansing CoWash to help with that as well: hennasooq.com/collections/natural-hair-conditioner
If your skin is close in color to the henna, there's no need to apply a balm to the skin around the edges. This applies to darker skin tones i.e. people with sub-saharan African skin tones. This may not apply to mixed people and people with lighter tones in general.
You can use any water, distilled is just best because it doesn't have any minerals. I'm not sure where you are located, but if you're in the USA you can get distilled water at any grocery store for under $2
I pay $1.07 for a gallon of distilled water, but if it's not available near you, you can use regular tap water. If you bring tap water to a rolling boil for 20 minutes, you will boil out most of the minerals that are found in tap water.
@@Anonymous1dskjoadi93 yes, I do understand that. I was offering an alternative to help reduce the minerals, for those who find distilled water difficult to source.
Hey Ferida my hair turned out the same with the grey turning orange. What if I add in the indigo in the henna for a second application, then do the indigo alone??? What do you think Kadisha??? I did the henna alone first and was going to do the indigo second. In the past all hair turned black except the gray that’s why I’m asking. I used the henna on Friday and today is Monday. Can I reapply or should I wait? My hair is low porosity!👀😱❤️🙏🏽
Hello. It may not work because you need to mix and apply them separately. Indigo does not always work the first time and repeated application(s) may be necessary.
This Trial was not done with integrity. This woman (appx 30 yrs old) had black hair at the beginning of the trial. What is the purpose of having a test subject with black hair?😑 Integrity is key if you are promoting a product, especially with Ayurvedic products. Intelligent people are really paying attention. 🤔
Thank you so much your chips are so incredibly helpful all of them and I totally enjoy farita with curly proverbs she is more than wonderful she is the one that started my journey of even considering that my hair was salvageable the question that I have in reference to hair color I don't use that anymore or nor do I bleach anymore I do use Hannah or I have in the past I guess it's a better thing to say but recently I want to get a darker color and I understand about mixing with indigo but I really am a little lazy right now and I don't know if I want to make another investment in a herb and the time that it takes to do this now I will do this if this is the better choice but my question is have you heard of b i g e n I was curious if you have heard of this as a hair color I've used it in the past like over 10 years ago over 15 years ago and it left my hair very soft and manageable but I'm not sure what it is I was what I've read so far is that it is a henna but I don't know if it has metallics so I'm trying to stay as natural as possible but I like to hear your viewpoint on it if you could respond to my question I would deeply appreciate it thank you.
Postvhenndigo I used an ambunu/avj/chamomile/lavender tea rinse. Greatgooblygobs! My hair was so moist, shiny and soft afterwards. I didn't even need a leave in. My hair is loving all these ayurvedic herbs and regimen. Thank goodness for Henna Sooq and Curly Proverbz for teaching us the correct way to utilize them.
Love Curly Proverbz!!! She inspired me to get rid of store bought products.
Same here!!💖💖
Same here! Five years strong, otherwise I trust hennasouq products.
But she still uses store bought products in conjnction with Ayurveda. Her DC, leave in , teas, etc..
I still use store bought products for mask like conditioner from Pantene to stretch my amla and uuh Chebe cause I didn't order alot

Just wipe what you can when you're done applying the henna or indigo since the time the drips are left on really affects the strength of the stain that settles.
So can fresh aloe juice be used instead of aloe powder in this process? 🤔
So, I can add essential oils to my henna hair dye? Will this alter the results of the color?
No, the essential oil will not alter the color results, but there are a lot of benefits of adding essential oils to your haircare. It also adds a nice scent to your hair.
@@HennaSooq Thank you! I'll have to try adding essential oils to my henna hair dye.
I’ve been following Curley Proverb for awhile and love the results of henna and indigo - thicker and longer
Farida lives in the UK like me. How did she get Hennasooq products ?? There are not in the UK ! Someone say I’m wrong, please !
NaturalisticProducts on insta hold our products in the UK!
Her hair is beautiful, but it is not 3A3C, her hair is more like 4a with maybe a smidgen of 3C but that’s mainly 4a hair
(My hair is 3B/3c curls)
DON’T USE THE METAL SPOON!!! 😱 metals can mess up henna!!
On another note, I’ve been trying to achieve a dark brown with a 1:3 ratio of henna + indigo but I keep getting green/blue strands by my roots/grays 😩 any tips? THANK YOU!
Lessen the indigo
i just did... and why :"(
Her hair already dark. Not convined
She has been using henna/ayurvedic herbs for nearly a decade, so she's not doing a virgin application, it builds up on the hair strand over time. She does have grays, if you look on her channel, she shows this up close.
How do I purchase your products
Hello. You can shop on our website: hennasooq.com/. We ship worldwide!
Im watching this video because i just got box from Henna Sooq in the mail. I took full advantage of the 4th of july promo code and I ordered all the hair color/ care herbs ive been wanting to try on me (raven hair), my bestie (natural light brunette, salon-dyed fading out redhead, aiming for dark blonde) and my mother-in-law (natural dark brunette with greys, semi-permanent box-dye redhead, aiming for healthy and vibrant red with no visible greys or color bleeding and damage). I have been doing the 2step henna/ indigo color process on myself for years. I learned most of what i know from Fareida and Kadijah 💐💐. But ive never used Henna Sooq products. Im so excited and surprisingly not nervous about taking on these 3 heads. Thank you ladies!!!
how did it go 😻
Concerns: I have used henna and it was working until my edges disappeared! Now I’m not sure if I can continue to use it! I would like to continue to color my greys but I need info on how I can use it safely! I don’t want to start all over again with my edges!
How many days or hours later did you add the indigo?
Hello. You can add indigo within 72 hours of henna application (right after or next day included).
❤ 😊 I Love this video helpful to me and mine due to the fact I will undoubtedly have to do family and friends hair after they see the results!!! 😂 ❤
Is it ok to use henna on dyed hair? I mean hair that has been dyed using a regular box hair dye?
Yes as long as the henna is pure henna powder! You can use Henna Sooq Henna over box dye
Thank you so much for responding. I saw you have a shop in Columbia, MD. Can I meet you if I go there to buy the products?
I was taught that if your henna dyes you hair with any color but red it has chemicals in it ! How do you guys have blonde ans all these different colors?
Our products don't contain chemicals. Henna does deposit red color but if you need to achieve darker colors then you'll need indigo for that. For blonde, we have cassia but it won't color dark hair tones but can yield a light golden tone on grey and blonde hair.
I watched this and followed it to color my hair using 70% henna and 30% indigo for a reddish brown color. Oops it turned out carrot orange! I'm afraid to color it again for fear of making it worse. I am salt and pepper with a great deal of grey and silver. What the heck am I going to do? There is a great deal of pressure on me to go to a professional for help but there is no one that specializes in henna.
What color was your hair to start? Try again with 50% henna and 50% indigo. If your hair was light, this is normal. The henna will be much more vibrant on light hair, as you do more applications it will darken. If you do this recipe I just mentioned, you should get a rice reddish brown color.
Can I use aloe vera juice instead of powder?
Indigo won’t work with that liquid but for henna that should be fine
@@HennaSooq thank you!!
Your hair is a perfect brown..you didn't even NEED indigo!!
Can you make a video for making a hair mask with henna without dying your hair, if I mix it with cassia will it help not coloring it so much
I love curly providers results 😍 she is an beautiful and amazing woman smile 😃 I have been watching her videos for 8 years ❤️ ♥️ 💖
Aren’t you suppose to mix the henna and indigo in separate bowls and wait for dye release, then combine?
I’m no expert, but all the videos I’ve watched have mixed and applied the two separately. Indigo after the henna
My hair is currently in a protective style. I have the henna and indigo in my closet, and I will use them once all my hair is out of the current style. Thanks for sharing!
Great resource. Extremely thorough.📝. 🙏🏾
Loved this!!! 💗
So basically you don't need saran wrap? 🤔
What temperature do you use exactly when you say hot water?
Can you mix everything except the indigo & let it sit out overnight or should it be refrigerated?
Hello. You can place it in the fridge for 5-7 days. Please use within 7 days of being made (if kept in the fridge). If you have any leftovers you can freezer for up to 6 months.
I am dying to color my hair with henna. I have black hair that is graying in front and want dark hair with a dark red hue. Want it healthier and thicker. Is that possible? How?
You could probably use the two-step technique in this video on just the grey hairs in front - maybe extending the length of time the indigo is left on in the second application and perhaps mixing a bit of henna with indigo to darken the orange effect on the first application. Since your hair is already black, you wouldn't need to do this to all of your hair - just the greys. If those turn out well, you can get the rest of the look you want by simply applying an all over henna application. Because henna is a TINT, it cannot lighten your hair so if you want dark hair with a red hue but your hair is already black, a simple application of just henna will give you your same black hair but your strands will be coated with the tint so when the sunlight hits your hair it will have a reddish hue.
What do I use to wash the application out ? Or do I just rinse with regular water ?
Hello. Make sure you have a very strong shower head so you can ensure it all comes out. Use our Cleansing CoWash to help with that as well: hennasooq.com/collections/natural-hair-conditioner
If your skin is close in color to the henna, there's no need to apply a balm to the skin around the edges. This applies to darker skin tones i.e. people with sub-saharan African skin tones. This may not apply to mixed people and people with lighter tones in general.

Great video
It’s ridiculous that distilled water needs to be used. Do you know how expensive that is to source ?
You can use any water, distilled is just best because it doesn't have any minerals. I'm not sure where you are located, but if you're in the USA you can get distilled water at any grocery store for under $2
I pay $1.07 for a gallon of distilled water, but if it's not available near you, you can use regular tap water. If you bring tap water to a rolling boil for 20 minutes, you will boil out most of the minerals that are found in tap water.
lucky you! @@davinarasmussen
thakn you for the tip. distilled means steamed though. its not da same as boiling it.@@davinarasmussen
@@Anonymous1dskjoadi93 yes, I do understand that. I was offering an alternative to help reduce the minerals, for those who find distilled water difficult to source.
Hey Ferida my hair turned out the same with the grey turning orange. What if I add in the indigo in the henna for a second application, then do the indigo alone??? What do you think Kadisha??? I did the henna alone first and was going to do the indigo second. In the past all hair turned black except the gray that’s why I’m asking. I used the henna on Friday and today is Monday. Can I reapply or should I wait? My hair is low porosity!👀😱❤️🙏🏽
Hello. It may not work because you need to mix and apply them separately. Indigo does not always work the first time and repeated application(s) may be necessary.
This Trial was not done with integrity. This woman (appx 30 yrs old) had black hair at the beginning of the trial. What is the purpose of having a test subject with black hair?😑
Integrity is key if you are promoting a product, especially with Ayurvedic products. Intelligent people are really paying attention. 🤔
Agreed
We LOVE @curlyproverbz 💗💖🤍🥹😘😘😘
Thank you so much your chips are so incredibly helpful all of them and I totally enjoy farita with curly proverbs she is more than wonderful she is the one that started my journey of even considering that my hair was salvageable the question that I have in reference to hair color I don't use that anymore or nor do I bleach anymore I do use Hannah or I have in the past I guess it's a better thing to say but recently I want to get a darker color and I understand about mixing with indigo but I really am a little lazy right now and I don't know if I want to make another investment in a herb and the time that it takes to do this now I will do this if this is the better choice but my question is have you heard of
b i g e n I was curious if you have heard of this as a hair color I've used it in the past like over 10 years ago over 15 years ago and it left my hair very soft and manageable but I'm not sure what it is I was what I've read so far is that it is a henna but I don't know if it has metallics so I'm trying to stay as natural as possible but I like to hear your viewpoint on it if you could respond to my question I would deeply appreciate it thank you.
Loved it. very helpful!
This video was super helpful. I didn't have to make so many mistakes. Can I use a deep conditioner after rinsing out the indigo? @hennasooq
Hello. Usually 5-7 days later after the color fully settles.
Postvhenndigo I used an ambunu/avj/chamomile/lavender tea rinse. Greatgooblygobs! My hair was so moist, shiny and soft afterwards. I didn't even need a leave in. My hair is loving all these ayurvedic herbs and regimen. Thank goodness for Henna Sooq and Curly Proverbz for teaching us the correct way to utilize them.
What is avj?
