Hey everyone! If you click the link in my description box for Ana Luisa you'll have the 10% off applied automatically. If using my code, "ASKINSCURLS10" there is no "H" for this current one, will update when it changes : ) Thanks again for watching!
Hey chica! I thought about getting one but the thought of bringing something else into this tiny apartment stressed me out lol, but I may need to just get one and find a lil place in the cabinet for it. Your mixes always turn out super smooth! Thanks for watching
@Sherea DelSol I haven't used henna in years but I think I remember people saying that metal tools could compromise the henna. Does your immersion blender have a silicone attachment or do you just use the metal blades? It's not a super long contact time so it's probably not a big deal even if it is true.
I use coffee and / or hibiscus to enhance color. As for your hair type length and thickness, you need way more products for your hair. My hair is thick and a smidgen past shoulder length and I need way more product
I’m usually good with a pack, sometimes that is even too much and I have some excess, now about 90% of a pack seems to be the sweet spot. Heard great things about Henna Sooq over the years. When I have a chance I’ll get some distilled water, hopefully this week since I’m due for a treatment next week. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Jeannine! It really made a difference, so happy I picked up a few packs to get me through for awhile. Thanks so much for watching, have a good weekend!😀
I never used steel bowls or a blender for henna or indigo. Just wood & plastic as at the time they told me it was a no-no to use stainless steel with henna, maybe it had to do with "bad" henna and metallic salts + possible reaction.
Same here, I stuck with the plastic bowl and spoon for that reason, I'd always heard that metal can cause a reaction. This henna seems to be awesome quality but I think I'll stick with my plastic just in case, such easy clean-up too lol.
@@AshkinsCurls I have a mini silicone wisk that got from tj Maxx or something super cheap. Very helpful for getting the lumps out when mixing with no metal!
Lol I cut out the part where I had to make ANOTHER emergency batch lmao. I'm going all in for the next one, I need my stuff saturated😂😂. Can't wait lol. Thanks for watching love, I'm rewatching your video before my next mix : )
Lol I appreciate you Denysha💛 It is A LOT of mixing, I try to look at it like an arm workout now😂 Oh nice, I'll keep Coconut Cream in mind for future mixes - it's always sounded so decadent to me, I can imagine the smoothness now : ) Thanks for watching!
Yay! Thanks so much for watching Jeannine, I'm so ready to use the Pro Strength this month, my hair loved this one so I can't wait to see how things go with the mega henna goodness lol. Let me know what you think if you try this brand out : )
So glad to hear it was helpful! I love that these powders can be used both ways, I alternate between with/without condish : ) Thanks so much for watching!!
Thank you for the video. I purchased both the regular & the henna & aloe mask and I'm excited to use one tomorrow. I have dark brown hair and want the hair coloring effects of the henna that you spoke of. Good luck to you.
Hi Caramel Cutie! Can't wait to hear how you like it : ) After two uses, I have noticed a nice subtle reddish tint, even today in the sun it caught me off guard, so pretty. Really excited for the Pro Strength too for even more coloring effects. And my hair is very dark as well, so I'm looking forward to hearing about your results. Good luck to you as well and thanks so much for watching🌞😀
I was excited to see you try CP henna. I always use hot water(or any liquid of choice) and an immersion blender or a whisk to help with the lumps. I'm a November baby too(Nov 5th)!🎂
Ahh happy belated birthday my dear!! I hope you've been having an awesome birthday weekend♏🌞💛💜😄 I'm so excited to try the Pro Strength next, I had a horrible detangling session yesterday so I'm due for another treatment soon. My warm water last time wasn't hot enough, making sure it's HOT hot for next time. Thanks so much for watching bday girl!🌸🎂🧡
For a few grays it would make sense to use that amount. Back in the day, I used about 200 grams (yes!) to color my whole head (about arm pit length at the time). I have thick/dense hair as well, fine, but lots of it.
Oh nice, that's good that that amount was able to cover everything. I have a lot of hidden greys in the back that I think I didn''t cover well, so I think next time I'll make more since all-over richness and color would be great, moving on to the Pro Strength Masque soon next : )
Try mixing with warm liquids to help the powder dissolve more. I’ve used Henna from the Indian Grocery store and mix with warm water and it does dissolve better. I’m going to buy from Curly Proverbz this Black Friday.
Hey lady! Thank you, I warmed the water for about 2 minutes before adding it but maybe I should get it HOT hot for next time to see if it will help. I'll add a bit more water in general next time and maybe get a tiny hand blender lol. Ooo exciting, I'm hoping to review the Pro Strength before BF too, can't wait to see how you end up liking them. Thanks so much for watching ☀️
Okay cool, that makes me excited : ) A nice lush, deep color would be so nice, I'm going to try to do these at least once a month. I noticed a lil reddish tint in the sun today ☀️
Thanks Jeannine! I noticed during the second application when I let the dye release for longer that gave me a more noticeable tint, so longer is key from here on put. I got some great tips during my live but couldn't remember the recommend time for max dye/benefits so I'll definitely let it sit for 4 hours next time, thank you!
I’ll have to keep an eye out for that! The stains on my hair usually go away in about 2 days but quicker would be nice : ) Thanks for letting me know 😀
Guuuurrrrllll-- I forgot to put my gloves on and realized half way through. My hands are orange!!!!!!!!! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ all i can do is laugh at myself. Oh well, here’s to orange hands. I love it though!! So happy to be introduced to curly proverbz 💃🏾💃🏾
Oh noooo!! Girl I feel your pain, my hands went back to normal after a couple of days but those dang nails?!😩 I was rocking the orange tips until they grew out lol, so we both were part of the the orange hands club during our first go with this awesome stuff lol😂😂😂😩 SO so happy you loved your results yayyy! That's awesome, can't wait to hear how you like it over time! Thanks for letting me know how your experience went love and for watching! 🌞🌻💛
I added water to it and let things sit for a bit before adding the mixture to the conditioner, but next time I'm going to add more hot water/henna to the mix, a little water next time will be perfect I think.
Hi! From my research, it seems that over time for some people, due to the weight of henna building up over time on the hair, it can loosen some people's curls. For others it can actually increase definition, making their hair curlier over time, it seems to depend on the person. I've heard of some people adding Alma I believe and other Ayurvedic herbs with their henna mixes to offset the potential loosening effects of henna. Hope that helps!
Great video! I was always curious about henna but too scared to try. Your hair looked so shiny and soft 😍. My birthday is also in November 😝 11/22. I knew I liked you 😜
Thank you so much Lillian, so happy you enjoyed it! Same here, I've been reasearching it for so much years but was really nervous and kinda intimidated, but so far so good : ) Just had a horrible detangling session so I'm due for another treatment soon. Oh yay, no wonder we get along, another fellow November girl, that's so awesome!🌞😄: )
If you want black (indigo) over a light color like say light blonde or gray, put down henna first, or you will end up with green hair; no joke! Light hair needs a red "filler". It is the same with chemical colors. That is why box dyes automatically come with filler in them, but few people know this (and hairdressers will pretend like you didn't say a thing LOL)!
Oh wow, I thought I'd heard something about that before, that info will definitely help anyone that comes across it here in the comments hopefully, so they can hopefully avoid the dreaded green hair! I bet hairdressers have had to do quite the number of color corrections after some green hair nightmares, rough!
The staining is almost gone now thank goodness, I don't mind it too much though, I hate gloves, I feel like I can feel my hair a lot better with bare hands and make sure I cover everything adequately, gloves feel so weird!

I always have an immersion blender on deck to make my mixtures nice and smooth. I highly recommend you get one. They start at $20.

@@linzeeb4 LOL, it's not true. Indian women mix in metal bowls. That's true for clay though.

You'll need two packs not enough using teaspoons,I use henna Sooq, use distilled water warm to hot water

Sometimes it takes a few applications before the color change. It's kinda buildable
Okay cool, that makes me excited : ) A nice lush, deep color would be so nice, I'm going to try to do these at least once a month. I noticed a lil reddish tint in the sun today ☀️
U want the henna to sit for 4 hours for the dye release. The dye release maximizes the properties.
Thanks Jeannine! I noticed during the second application when I let the dye release for longer that gave me a more noticeable tint, so longer is key from here on put. I got some great tips during my live but couldn't remember the recommend time for max dye/benefits so I'll definitely let it sit for 4 hours next time, thank you!
Henna Sooq has a special co wash to😊 remove

@@AshkinsCurls lololol. I love henna now! My few grays turned a copper color, but I like it. Looks like highlights on my ternie weenie Afro. 🤷🏽♀️😍
If you mix the powder directly with conditioner, henna is not gonna give off color, you need to "awaken it" so to speak, with water, and then add it.
I added water to it and let things sit for a bit before adding the mixture to the conditioner, but next time I'm going to add more hot water/henna to the mix, a little water next time will be perfect I think.
Is it true that henna straightens your hair? I don't want to lose my curls, I'm not very curly so I'm always doing things to help my curl definition
Hi! From my research, it seems that over time for some people, due to the weight of henna building up over time on the hair, it can loosen some people's curls.

Ooooh yeah girl, wear some gloves with henna, that sucker stains like no other and especially if it's BAQ (body art quality) henna!
The staining is almost gone now thank goodness, I don't mind it too much though, I hate gloves, I feel like I can feel my hair a lot better with bare hands and make sure I cover everything adequately, gloves feel so weird!
@@AshkinsCurls I know the feeling! My mom last colored her hair no gloves, it took soaking her hands in some bleach to get most of it off.
