How to Mix and Apply Henna To Natural Hair 

In India, we'd add an egg and some curd/yoghurt. We add that in the morning about half an hour before applying. Also, adding a few drops of lemon juice can give a reddish tint. Additionally, henna moisturises the scalp. It reduces split ends by conditioning the strand. And should you be willing to go through the pain of mixing and applying it every month, then it will help cure damage and dryness. Henna on its own can be very drying. I have been using henna on my hair since I was 14. I am 38 this year.

What I’ve learnt from my experience of hennaing my hair for the past few years- (Disclaimer: my opinions are my own and I am not suggesting by any means that you will experience the same aspects while going through the process) * any henna I use gives me a good tint only if I let the paste cure in a stainless steel utensil. I’ve read plastic is porous and will absorb a good amount of the dye and cast iron though comes highly recommended, doesn’t really do anything for me by toning down the tint. * adding moisturising agents such as honey and oils will only deter the henna from staining your hair. So if it’s color you’re mainly looking for, then your safest bet is to mix the henna with just plain room temperature water or add a dash of lemon juice. Yes your hair will feel coarse after you rinse out the henna but this can be undone by doing a deep conditioning treatment with your favourite store bought deep conditioner. If anything, your hair will only turn out silkier after this.

healthy hair is the goal. i can’t wait to try this.

Great video, thanks so much!

This was so very helpful!! I followed everything you did except I add hibiscus flowers to the tea to help give my hair more of reddish tint and for the added benefits. I also added aloe vera powder to the henna. This was my first deep henna treatment (the rest have been glosses) and I couldn't be more pleased! Thank you!!

Just came across this today. Have the henna in my hair right now. Can’t wait to see the results. I know this video was awhile back, any new updates?

U r really pretty right along with your hair !😊❤

I dyed my hair dark brown over a month ago..what affect will henna have on hair that is already dyed please?

Gorgeous hair🥰

What kind of cut you have? The shape of your wash and go is exactly what I’m looking for but I don’t know how to get it like that. ...

great vid thanks

Love your hair

So if it coats it. Is moisture still able to get in properly. Never used it just wanted to know

Great Tutorial! On the part about your hair turning orange when using other dyes, You have to mix with Indigo to neutralize the henna.

Thank you very much

So interesting and what is that oil you have applied in to henna?

Oh!!! Had no idea it was so permanent!!

I use fenugreek rinse to mix my henna. I added coconut, peppermint, lavender and rosemary oils also. Oh and honey

So is henna considered a protein treatment?? I did a moisture/protein deep conditioner last week & wondering how to wait to use henna after that

I wish I would have watched this an hour ago. I’m sitting with my first henna on my head, waiting to rinse in a couple hours. It was SO hard to apply. I feel like I was just slapping it on and I couldn’t get it distributed well. I will try your technique next time!

I understand what you're saying about henna being permanent because i only did a henna treatment once and that was over a year and a half ago and I still have the reddish brown tint in my hair

Can I use henna with coloring gray in my temples?

Perfect! Great video. Thank you.

How often should one do a henna treatment

Great demo!!😃😃😃💗💗💗💗💗Thank youuu!! Please do more!!💗💗💗💗

Thank you

Can it work on topical African hair

Loved this very informative.

Wow I didn’t know about the henna and bleached hair information that you just gave smh I wonder how long after you bleached your hair will it be ok to use henna ? I’m trying to restore my hair from really bad heat damage. And my hair was bleached a year before I straightened it but somehow now I have heat damage 😩😩😩😩😩 idk what to do

I have got a packet of black henna and I've never used It because I'm scared that my hair will turn red. I only want my curls to keep being black and healthier, do you recommend me to try It out?

HAIR CRUUUUUSH 😍

were do you get your turbans

Your hair is beautiful.

Some people let henna dry after applying it to the hair to enhance pigmentation process and then just wrap it up, but I love the way you did it 👍🏼 😊

Does the henna you are using change the color of your hair?

Love the necklace, where did u get it? 😍

How often you apply henna ? Or is henna a protein treatment

A quick question. Did you shampoo your hair to remove the henna?

is there a UK supplier for this henna?

And I’ve actually bleached my hair after I did henna but that was at least 1-2 years time

Your hair is beautiful

cool video

How much Coconut Oil and how much honey do you add to the mixture? What kind of honey do you use?

Henna alone can it dye hair black with indigo

Really enjoyed this video, and everyone's comments! I am doing it for the first time this weekend and wondered if I should do an allergy test? If so, should i put it on my skin and on my hair? Thanks- really appreciate anyone's feedback!

I love how you do your turban. I love how neatly you made everything. I love this tutorial. Watching this video was a very nice experience because of how perfectly you did everything. Thank you so much.

So you didn’t have to use indigo to make it darker?

Will this help make my gray hairs darker? I dint really like being young and have gray hairs so I’m trying to find natural ways to color it. Also will this help my brittle hair? It sheds a lot due to a scalp condition.

Can i use henna on my relaxed hair?

So for black hair only use green tea ?

My question for you is; If you are located in Great Britain does it get extremely warm or a warmer than 70° during the summer and spring because most people that use coconut oil whose hair has no problem accepting it and the hair thrives, is because they live in warmer climates. However for those of us who live in cooler climates especially two seasons out of the year coconut has a tendency to get really crispy in the hair. Before instance; a lot of us who have really worked hard at attaining a certain length or look with our hair. Prefers to show their hair off. So that is to say using oils and henna if you have a certain hair type such as porosity density coarseness length even, depending on the hemisphere in which you live oils such as coconut can be a huge setback. You show that you've been using henna for a while what would you recommend just for a general statement for people with course shoulder length (in the back ) ( kinky bangs- high porosity ) curly(sides&back)-kinky(crown) dense low porosity hair that is protein sensitive? Should oil be added at all to the henna? Should we divide the hair and treat it differently. Should I just use a gloss, or decondition ? ( I'm sorry this is my husband's account I'm having trouble setting up my own RU-vid account) Reaching out to you from Portland Oregon. 29 February 2021

Yay

I.have a question what if you dont want the color of your hair to change I personally have black hair which I'm ok with I would use this to moisture and growth how to use recommend i use it

I love your turban 👌🏾 Where did you get/buy it?
