UPDATED Henna Hair Routine & Tips | Khadi Natural Hair Color Classic Red 

Same here! My hair has never been healthier! Thank you so much for your lovely comment!

@@HelloLetsGlow how long the color lasts?

Hi​@@lulunadi7487! Henna is a permanent hair colour so the colour does last quite a long time on your hair - especially as you use the henna multiple times. I find that I do my hair about every 5-6 months and that it lasts great until the next time I dye it. The colour does fade over time, like any dye, but I've found that timeline works well for me. As you use the henna, the colour also builds and the vibrancy lasts longer.

@@HelloLetsGlow ok. Thank you very much

Oh, wow! Thank you so so much for your kind comment! I so appreciate it - you have absolutely made my day. Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to answer them! Henna has really helped my hair - it is longer and healthier than it has ever been before and I absolutely love how vibrant the colour is. I hope you love your new henna hair!!

And I absolutely LOVE your henna! Thank you so much for sponsoring my video. ❤️

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much! Henna has really improved my hair - I love it! Please let me know if you have any questions!!

@@HelloLetsGlow I've gone down a rabbit hole and ended up booking a zoom session with HennaSooq for guidance! I adore your colour but want to start off with a copper/ strawberry blonde and gradually get darker as autumn approaches. Question, if you wanted to lift to red to go lighter, can you & how would you? So excited to join the red head club this weekend when I do the colour!

​@@skyediy6557 Oh, that's great! I haven't tried HennaSooq but I have heard good things. I actually did lift my hair a bit this summer because I wanted a lighter coppery red for the summer and it was very easy. I used Sunbabe to lighten my hair, but I think if you wanted a more predictable lightening option then I would say to go into a salon and gradually get it lightened. I just let my red fade a bit before I applied the sunbabe and it worked perfectly. In general, I have found it works the same with lightening from a dark color or chemical red dye -- it just has to be gradual and a bit of a slow process if you want to go back to blonde. I also recommend watching out for any metallic/mineral salts because that is where big issues can arise when going back to bleach or hair dyes. I hope that answers your question!

@@HelloLetsGlow I've seen sunbabe adverts all over my Instagram but never trusted them until now & how great you've found something that works. Like you, I don't mind waiting a bit of time for a slower process if it looks as natural as your crowning red mane does 🦁🎀 . I think I'll make a henna video of my journey too so I can refer back and remember what I've used etc. I'm both excited and nervous to become a commited red head very soon. But I feel basic as a blonde so it's time 🥳

@@HelloLetsGlow henna update for you...I used light mountain colour red on balayage dark blonde roots with bleached blonde throughout & it went bright orange. Orange panic? Yes! 3 treatments later (within 3 days) & it's a bright fire red. I was going for your colour but I think I shouldve toned down my starting colour first..however as henna gets deeper with each application I'm going to do 2 more applications and see. Fun fact, I did strand tests using a blend of henna/coffee/beetroot and one with just henna and water and the one with just water came out a more vibrant red colour. Seems the coffee and beetroot didn't help one bit. I expected the opposite. Please keep making videos 👌😎

Thanks for the tip! That makes sense!

Hi Nikky! Sorry for the late reply. I don't really follow a specific timeline, but I would say about 15 minutes sounds right!

No, no es necesario, sólo tienes que mezclar la henna con agua caliente y dejarla un par de horas macerando y voilà!!; en mi caso me gusta mezclarla con hibisco porque dicen que esto le da un tono más rojizo pero no estoy segura de cuán cierto es.

@@AnaGarcia-ld5lf Muchas gracias 😊 Enhorabuena x tú embarazo , feliz navidad 🎄🎅🏻

Hi try mixing few drops of essential oil into Henna paste

Yes

Hi there, I boil the water and then let it cool for a few minutes before mixing it into the henna. I find it cools to the right temperature after about 5 minutes. I then mix up the henna and let it cool down quite a bit more before I apply it to my hair. I hope that helps!

i know that light mountain natural makes a henna mask that doesnt color your hair! maybe that would help?

@@maddie5815 thanks 🫶 I think I know which one - the one with the swan on the packaging. The main ingredient in it is cassia - but is still binds with the hair shaft and when someone decided to go lighter later on - the results can be patchy.

Henna is great for grey hairs, covers them up

I cover my grays and found that it depends on the quality, just try and don’t give up. I am very satisfied with it. The best recipe I found was adding coconut oil and olive oil to the Henna and a little water. It is so so Great I promise!

It's hard for me to say, I would check with the henna brand you're using and see if they've had this reported to them before!

@@HelloLetsGlow You are right, great idea! Thank you so much for your reply. Have a great day 💕

You could mix it up with warm very thin runny flaxseed gel instead of water. For the henna I always used it never interfered with dye release. Also the dryness you might feel from henna I found using hair masks for a week or two fixed any dryness. For me I found any dryness from henna is fixable but not necessarily for chemical dyes. Also again you only need to use henna once then just keep doing your roots. You could always start with a henna gloss instead of full strength henna. Many videos on recipes but a simple one is to mix in a hair mask with the henna. The results will be less intense and not drying at all.

@@TracyD2 Hey thank you so much dear!🙌 great ideas I will try to do so. I mixed henna with oils and found that oils dry out my hair :/ now I use eggs only for a hair mask and I hope it gets smoother now! Any ideas what to put in the henna mask?🥰lovely how I get responses on topics that I am intered in lol

No, I haven't experienced that!

@@HelloLetsGlow thank you very much for the response 🤗

I never used khadi product, but my henna does run when getting wet for atleast a week

@@Sharonamy thank you for the reply :) i couldn't remember as I've used henna around 4 years ago 😅 I've just used this particular one a few days ago and it is still running a little bit (it's the 3rd wash now) but it's getting better each time :)

@@vegan_guac yeh mine runs for atleast a few washes too. And first 2 weeks i avoid anything white 🤣

Yes, but the henna doesn’t go into the kettle. Henna can sometimes discolor metal bowls which is why I avoid mixing it in them.

@@HelloLetsGlow hey, i emailed khadi but i see youre still active on these comments. my kettle has stainless steel inside. do you think it would be ok to boil my water in that? also, do you use distilled/mineral free water with yours? thank you for the video x it answered a lot of questions i had about this specific brand

@@cinnamoncreamy My kettle also has a metal element in it and it has always been fine. I don't think that would be an issue! I do not use distilled water, just tap water warmed up in the kettle :) I hope that helps!!

Hi there! Khadi beauty henna doesn’t contain metallic salts.

@@HelloLetsGlow you said no metallic bowl only reason you’d avoid metal would be metallic salts so either you can use a metal bowl or you can’t because it contains metallic salts.

Hi there, from what I’ve read - henna can stain metal bowls and spoons because it’s acidic, similar to how lemon juice can, so I don’t risk it. That’s why I recommend against it. I would feel very bad if people tried this henna out and destroyed their nice bowls! This is also just my personal recommendation, but if you feel comfortable trying henna in your metal bowls, then that is totally up to you!
