Ive been using henna treatment for about a year and it has been the best for my hair,, also bc henna i so strong you need to deep condition right after use, and only use alittle at a time until your hair gets use to doing a full henna treatment to avoid setback, i dont wanna promote another youtuber on here but to best explain i suggest checking out Curly Proverbs videos on here henna treatments thats how i incorporated it into my regimen
Wow so happy I saw your comment, this is exactly what's happening to me now. I'm experiencing a major setback for going in too strong, in what video does she mention this?
Not a lot of people can follow Curly Proverbs, I am one of them, her content is good but it's difficult to follow because she talks a lot and you have to watch her videos over and over again.
for 6 months once a week , I would take 1 teaspoon of each henna, amla, hibicus, brahmi, shikikai, neem, and yucca root powder, and mix with a deep conditioner leave on for 3 hours the first hour I would sit under a hooded dryer...long story short strengthens, noticeable growth, and softness...I would also follow up with a diy avocado, molasses, oil blend deep treatment...my hair loves this, I now only do it once a month
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️ *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
In our culture (Middle East) we use henna once or twice a year at least. It dehydrates the hair, and of course for the dye purpose too, but doesn't in any shape of form thickens it. Because straight hair is too damp, henna will strip the oils and make it dry, so it seems it gained some sort of volume to it. But it's instant solution for thin hair. My hair is can't handle henna because it's too thin and curly too. So I don't do it as many times.. But thick curly hairs don't need it really because you have beautiful luscious strands regardless. 😊
Smashbox hello. I actually used henna this weekend. I no longer use lemon juice. I get my henna from Hennasooq. Khadijah, the owner says lemon juice is actually not good to use. I don’t use indigo because I love my red edges. I mix the henna with warm water, sometimes tea, hibiscus, aloe Vera, just depends on my mood. Let it sit for at least 4 hours and apply to my hair. Let it stay in my hair for at least 4 hours and rinse and co wash with a conditioner like Trader Joe’s tea tree conditioner. I shampoo my hair 4-5 days later. No indigo fo me because I love my red edges. I have a video on my channel. Please watch it when you have time. Good luck and stay safe 😊
Acid closes the cuticles ie aloe Vera. Lemons are actually alkaline. That is why it works on your low porosity hair. If you have high porosity aloe will smooth and add shine.
Ant rip That's an ignorant comment. Being half of a particular ethnicity doesn't always mean you don't know your language or culture. Saying she's not a real Nigerian is rude af. Stop trying to make people identify the way you want them to. She is still a Nigerian.
Wow! This is too good be true. I'm not very familiar with your videos, just came I across it while searching videos " hair concerns" smiles. So I'm yet to try it out but I really wanted to say coz I'm not proud of my hair. It is very scanty, thin and it doesn't grow once it gets to a particular length. So I hope this works. Good job by the way I have to admit you skin is glowing and your hair is divine 😘.
Girl, you are BEAUTIFUL ! ! 😍😍 #subbed my hair is in the 4 category. I have hibiscus and bamboo powder for hair treatments, ima get some henna powder and lemon juice and try that.
Love the video. I’ve been using Red Raj henna from a black owned female business for over 5 years. I don’t use ACV or lemon juice due it being so drying to my hair. I use 1 tbsp Amla powder...about 1-1 1/2 tsp Aloe Vera powder (the Aloe is very concentrated so I really don’t need much...about 2 tbsps hibiscus powder and Red Bliss essential oil with warm (not hot) distilled water. All products are from hennasooq.com. I let the dye release for about 3-4 hours...put it in my hair and let sit for 3-4 hours. When I blend my henna I actually use my blender with the metal beaters. I did make sure this was fine by calling the owner. IF your henna has added ingredients it shouldn’t then you can not use a metal beater. Since I know this henna is pure I can use it since beating henna manually smooth hurts my wrist. I rinse with warm water first and then (if I’m in the mood) use VO5 conditioner...if no conditioner then just water and then a deep treatment or the hennasooq Honey Nourisher with heat or my steamer. Since I’ve been using henna so long for me it’s not messy as long as I don’t make it watery. Anyone who hasn’t tried henna should...HOWEVER...if you want to use a chemical dye at some point you might have problems since henna is permanent.
I used to mix mine with green tea but the company that sells the type that I buy recommended that I use fruit juice instead. I use pomegranate and blueberry juice.
love your advice videos. Id forgot about henna. 8m going to start using it again. my hair needs a good cleansing. The weather harsh here in london uk. Your so beautiful. thanks again.x
New subscriber, because you make so much sense. 😁😁 I would like to know if you have a lot of gray, what color will this make my hair. I would not mind a nice brown. I completely shaved my hair and started to regrow from the very beginning and for now I just wash, condition and grease and brush every night before bed. (I don't wash every night, but I do brush to stimulate like the guys do, lol). I am very impress with your knowledge, you are a natural educator as well as extremely beautiful. We don't see too many like you in media period because you are too much of a threat. God bless you and please continue you are a treasure. 😍😍
How have I not figured this out yet? I used henna once to try lighten my hair as it is very black. But now I love the colour but it is quite thin. I am getting henna tomorrow!
Ms Nkuli Lol it does deposit color but if your hair is black, the “color” won’t be obvious. It may just have a deep red sheen in light but Henna will make it appear darker. To counteract, use indigo after using henna. That will make the hair pitch black.
Is allowing it to sit overnight just for the dye releasing? Or is that needed to help the thickening effect? I want more of the thickening effect not the color
Thinking back do you think your journey would be different if using henna at TWA stage? Would you recommend using henna at TWA if the goal is length retention OR wait until neck length and beyond?
Hi thank you for the video. I wanted to know, did you experience your curls loosening after the henna treatment? I love henna but everytime I apply it, my curls loosen.
Hello EfikZara. I started my hair journey and love all your videos. I did my first straight henna treatment today 5/30/20. I did two glosses before that to work my regime to this. I know you been doing henna, have been doing they back to back or streching them out. Please let me know. Thank you.
I do them every 6-12 weeks... it just depends on how I’m feeling lol. I haven’t done one in AGES... not because I don’t want to but because I’ve been busy. As soon as I’m available, I’ll do one because it’s still a very important part of my regimen. I think it’s best to do them every 6-8 weeks, and that’s what I would do if I had more time. I’ll likely go back to doing them that frequently when I am able.
Apply some coconut oil around your face before applying henna so it wont turn red xD but it is amaziiiing you can add some coffee and you know be creative xD but it dries out your hair so you should apply some kinda moisturiser
Hey girl! What would you say is the equivalent of henna (pro thickening and non breakage wise) for girls with light brown hair? I want to experience all the good that henna has to give but I don't want to change the color of my hair. Any alternatives? :) xx bb
Please don’t cut your hair! One question I do have is Aussie moist has silicones in it what are your thought on silicones for our type of hair. I use humectants but tend to avoid silicones?
Lol I LOVE IT!! I shampoo my hair so I don’t have any issues with cones. Are the cones water soluble? Tbh I don’t really care because it makes my hair feel amazing and again... I shampoo. Lolol I advise you to do what works for you. Some naturals avoid cones, others don’t. Either, or!
Thank you for being so honest I have information overload on what I should and shouldn’t do. My hair feels great with silicones but I have been told they won’t let moisture into my hair so I stopped, what I did notice is my hair can go dry after a few days but it does that anyway without silicones! If you put silicones in your hair when conditioning will it allow for your styling products to penetrate? Thank you
Have you ever heard of rice water and the Inversion method. If not look it up and you will love it. Yes I use Henna and love it. I use it to was that gray right of my hair. I love your channel it's really helpful thanks
I’ve been binging your videos and so happy that I found your channel! Question: to confirm, you add 4.5 bottles of lemon juice to your henna and hibiscus mix? I want to make sure I do it correctly lol

Great tip...thanks
where do you find these???
I add coconut milk into my henna mix and it’s MUCH easier to apply.
Great Indian tip!
Yes same!!! CHANGED the game

It thickens the hair by coating it. The lawson dye clings to the damaged areas.
Your complexion is beautiful and the red head wrap is also beautiful ♥️💯♥️ I love henna 💯♥️💯
Thank you soooo much 🙈🙈🙈
I use henna, green tea and lemon to cover my greys and my hair loves it.
That sounds amazing! Clearly I’m a fan of full strength henna myself. I may add green tea to my normal mix.

Lemons are alkaline when it is ingested in the body otherwise I believe it is acidic. You can look that up to be sure.
Dry Nigerian accent 😂 at least you have one. I'm half Nigerian and never picked up the accent :( but I love it though!
Loooool I always feel like I’m “forming” when I put on a Nigerian accent 😭! It’s just bad 🤦🏾♀️.
Why should a half caste have an accent? Its not like you're a real Nigerian
Zara and Nicola lmao!I feel you!

Awesome hair tips! 🙏💙💚💜👍
I have Henna have been hesitating to use it cause I don’t want my hair to go brown but I will use it for the benefits on my hair!!
Thanks for your informative work. I mix henna with amla, and then use indigo to die my hair. I’d like to see videos about your life in Nigeria.😊🌹
Awesome video, I will be trying henna very soon. TY! How do you know if your hair is protein sensitive... Our hair looks very similar
Thank you for sharing, what protein products do you recommend? Tnx
hank you so much for always noticing the guys that watch cause a lot of channels dont include us
Is there a way to use henna without changing your hair color?
THANK U FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE TO MY HENNA QUESTION.
Do you have more henna videos? You're the only RUclipsr that I watch for half an hour. 🤭
For that, I’ll make more just for you ❤️
I will try this and thanks for posting this video ty
How have I not figured this out yet? I used henna once to try lighten my hair as it is very black. But now I love the colour but it is quite thin. I am getting henna tomorrow!
Question tho: Doesn’t henna color your hair. Cause i want to use it and I don’t want to color my hair. I like it black as it is.
Ms Nkuli Lol it does deposit color but if your hair is black, the “color” won’t be obvious. It may just have a deep red sheen in light but Henna will make it appear darker. To counteract, use indigo after using henna. That will make the hair pitch black.
Or use Cassia obovata. Apparently it has the same benefits as henna, without the colouring effects.
1:16...... "finna" 😃😅🤣! Btw, you are so lovely😉
Will be trying this next!
Me too 🙂
Do you leave your hair out all the time? Or what protective styles do you do
Love henna. I will use!!!
I Need to give this a try... thanks for sharing
You have very beautiul hair and skin. How much henna to lemon juice did you use?
Is allowing it to sit overnight just for the dye releasing? Or is that needed to help the thickening effect? I want more of the thickening effect not the color
Hey, you are protéine sensitive i suggest you elfy naturals, IS a french mark very clean and without coconut oil.
Thinking back do you think your
journey would be different if using henna at TWA stage?
Would you recommend using henna at TWA if the goal is length retention OR wait until neck length and beyond?

is all your liquid coconut milk and do you warm it first?
This looks as messy as putting bentonite clay in my hair. LOL
Loooool trust me.... it’s WORSE! Bentonite clay comes out waaaaay more easily 😭.
Nooo waaaayyy. OK. Well if I do try this out I'll keep that in mind.
Apply some coconut oil around your face before applying henna so it wont turn red xD but it is amaziiiing you can add some coffee and you know be creative xD but it dries out your hair so you should apply some kinda moisturiser
So So Gorgeous1!$ On Lock Down In Lancaster PA Binge Watching Your Content1!$
I allllwaaays use it it’s so great and it leaves a brownish color
Have u tried aboniki on ur scalp it works wonders for my scalp stimulates hair growth
Waoo I know that rub;;is it good for hair growth
So how often a month can you do this ? Isn’t it a protein treatment ? Isn’t to much protein bad for your hair ?
Is it ok to use lemon juice if you have high porosity hair?
So If I let the henna sit 24 hours. The henna won't dye my hair? Or will I still need to mix indigo powder, for a natural color?
How do you combat the drying feeling of henna? My hair is 4c low porositt as well.
Hey lovely, what is the color of that lipstick--please.
Hey girl! What would you say is the equivalent of henna (pro thickening and non breakage wise) for girls with light brown hair? I want to experience all the good that henna has to give but I don't want to change the color of my hair. Any alternatives? :) xx bb

How?
Can I do bentonite treatment at same time as henna treatment. Also what about same thing with the egg mask?
U are soo pretty 💜💜
Do you also use Jamaica black castor oil.
I use henna weekly 🎉
what lipstick is that on your lips
Have you ever heard of rice water and the Inversion method. If not look it up and you will love it. Yes I use Henna and love it. I use it to was that gray right of my hair. I love your channel it's really helpful thanks
I have! Thanks so much!!
I’m going to look into them more 🤓.
Very Nice 🥰
I’ve been binging your videos and so happy that I found your channel! Question: to confirm, you add 4.5 bottles of lemon juice to your henna and hibiscus mix? I want to make sure I do it correctly lol
So what should we do if we have high poros hair?
well i mix my henna with oil... its doesn't dry as much .. and follow with DC .. etc
I use coffee and halve one lemon juice
So I have blonde high lights in my hair will the henna effect that color at all?
Lol, most def. it will completely cover the highlights and turn them copper-auburn (depending on how blond they are).
If I should use henna on my hair, should I use it in paste or in powder form?
Paste; the way I’ve used it in this video is the most potent in my opinion.
Love your video
Nice video. Need the name of the hana that you used
Can I use the henna box dye and get the same effect?🤔
Is it really possible to thicken your hair? Does thin hair not grow?
Where can you buy henna from?
Did you’re hair get dyed ?
Correct me if I’m wrong buuuuut your hair was already thicker than my future so why would you need it thicker?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is henna worldwide? If so what stores could I find it in?
Your videos àre awesome but tend to be a little lengthy
Gorgeous girl
How drastic is the color difference for you?
