I love the Moroccan henna powder. I use this first and let it sit for about 1-1 1/2 hrs. Then I follow up with just indigo. I let the indigo sit for about 1-1 1/2 hrs. This colors my greys perfectly. I also add aloe vera powder to both mixtures for moisture.
Yes, my grey's were stubborn too. There is a video on Henna Sooq's RUclips channel about the timing of henna to get certain color outcomes. This is what really helped me finally get my greys covered.
@@pamlats8113can I ask how you were doing the timing wrong? The only thing I noticed in her video was the different ratios in time. As I understand to get a dark color like black, you just leave the henna on for as long as you want, and follow up with indigo for as long as you want. Is there such thing as leaving it on too long?
That is the way that I dye my hair black. It works for me. The only thing I did differently was the liquid that I used. I used distilled water with both of my mixtures.
@hennasooq I just wanted to give you a great big THANK YOU for your amazing cassia henna! I used it per instructions yesterday and man was I blown away by the delightful Honey golden tones I received. I will be sure to use again and again as it turned out so very amazing ❤️ blessings to you!
I rinse out the henna as best as I can with water first then I start putting on conditioner . The conditioner helps the henna slide off the hair shaft easier. I keep a cheap conditioner just for this because it takes quite a lot. Rinse, then more conditioner etc. i find its the gentlest way to get the henna out. Last step I shampoo.
Very helpful upload. I like to soak hair in tub and fan it out while soaking and use strong shower head to further rinse out prior to using a cleansing cowash. The aloe helps as I do not compromise color by following with a deep conditioner. I use about 200g + aloe + Amla to maintain coils.
@hennasooq thank you so much for sharing your insights and expertise on everything henna. I absolutely love your videos and I think you are amazing! I'm not sure how much shipping costs to the UK, but I will most certainly purchase your products. I have absolute faith I can achieve my hair goals with your products, inshallah! Sending you virtual hugs from Manchester!
My hair is like a soft black, so it still has a hint of brown in it naturally. When I do the two-step process, my hair never gets jet black. I’ve tried so many times. After applying the henna and then I apply the indigo, It just basically matches my white hair to the color of my natural hair. On the bright side at least there’s no more white hair.
Try doing a 50% henna and 50% indigo mix (you have to mix them separately according to the directions, then combine them) for the first step. Then for the second step do all indigo. I find using indigo in both steps provides deeper coverage and darker color. Also I leave the indigo in my hair for 6-12 hours.
So I've been taking meds for thyroid for many years and unfortunately, the meds have thinned out my hair mainly my edges which are grey grey grey. Because of my thin edges I wear wigs and box dyes changes the texture of my hair, I found myself dying my hair every two weeks smh. I'm definitely going to try this because I'm tired of wearing the wigs and I'm tired of the greys.
I have hypothyroidism and have noticed my hair thinning over the years. And I have grey hair as well, but have been using henna to dye my hair ( we use it traditionally in Somalia), and it does help with hair strength. I haven't tried the indigo yet.
Thank you for this video. I was a bit apprehensive about using these products because I didn't want the orange tone to be left on my hair. Additionally I wasn't sure which was the right henna to purchase based on my need.
I used indigo powder on my freshly henna'd hair to tone down some bright orange greys. I waited 30 min for dye release, and it turned my orange greys green, and then over the next few days they settled into a nice bright purple... I have no idea what I did wrong!
@@isobel64 I used Khadi Hazelnut brown henna, which turned out dark mahogany red on me. After watching these videos, I added indigo to try to make it brown. But, putting blue indigo on top made it purple - red + blue = purple
Hello! Has the Moroccan Henna powder texture improved from the time during the pandemic when they couldn't sift it as much due to workers and covid? I want to try your moroccan henna again, but wanted to know if that had been fixed. thank you!!
I enjoyed watching this video. Tempted to try this, but I don't want dark hair. I have a question: when mixing henna, do you recommend adding one teaspoon of Aloe Vera powder or one tablespoon per bag of henna? I have been doing 1TSBP but I think that's too much.
Hello. You can shampoo your hair before the process with our soapnut as it is clarifying. After the process, make sure to wash out henna with a strong showerhead and using our CoWashes as well.
Hello. Unfortunately not as the aloe Vera gel form doesn’t work well for coloring. The indigo is very fussy and ideally aloe vera powder helps it perform best.
I think you can do it within the 3 day time frame I like to do mine right after the indigo mixed for 30 mins bc my hair is damp and it’ll stick longer but just don’t wait to long after the henna is applied
Hello. Please make sure to do indigo within 72 hours of henna application (right after or next day included). Indigo does not always work the first time and repeated application(s) may be necessary.
Need help! I used Hana, now my gray hair got red, I applied indigo immediately after. My gray hair is still reddish. What to do to get my hair black again???
Hello! Color results can vary depending on your natural hair color or on how much grey hair you have. The lighter the hair and the more greys you have, will pull the most red (sometimes even an orange). Therefore sometimes, repeated applications are necessary to get better color.
No not right now as my schedule is a bit overloaded.

Just within the last 2 months. Help. What can I use to stop this terrible balding. Btw. Up until 7 months ago. I was growing locs for 16 yrs. I cut them out. And now my hair is falling out..SOB****
I just did. the mix is on my head right now. after 3hrs im going to do the indigo again by by itself and let taht sit for an hour. my greys are stubborn

Estonkon arvka? Greetings! I could use recommendations/suggestions. I’m giving detailed information hoping it helps with a solution. The Problem: My henna treatment is not lasting as long on certain areas of my hair. Within a week or two weeks after, a fresh henna treatment. I have visual gray hair around my front edges and the front widow’s peak area. Hair type: I have hair locs (15 months). I’m not new to using henna. I also used henna on my loose nature hair for a few years. I like my henna color more copper tone vs redder tones. Length of Locs: My hair locs reached the back of my neck-will not fit in one ponytail. Henna Treatment mixture 75 grams: 37 grams (2-1/2 TBSP) Moroccan Henna Powder. 37 grams (2-1/2 TBSP) Organic Cassia Obovata. 1 TBSP Organic Amla Powder 1-2 TSP Organic Aloe Vera Powder. Room temperature distilled water I add a few drops of essential oils I mix my henna treatment at night, in a glass bowl. It sits on my kitchen countertop. The next morning. I wash my locs with a clarifying shampoo bar-right before applying my henna treatment. I allow the henna treatment 4 hours-before I wash it out. What has changed? My henna mixture. I used to use Organic Red Raj. Mvto! Thank you!
Hello. When using pure henna powder (body art quality), and herbs for hair, you can use stainless steel bowls or spoon. Traditionally, they have used iron bowls, as it has shown to bring our more dye release.
I love this video. I tried the two step process using with ur products but the indigo did not take as much as i would like. Can i use a one step process next time by adding the henna and indigo together? I am very interested in your advised on this.
Some people have been successful with the one step process with the indigo and henna. It all depends on your hair. My low porosity hair doesn't take to anything well. I do the one step process first and then follow up with indigo. When doing the one step process, make sure to mix them separately before blending the indigo and henna because the dyes release at different times.
Yes you can do a one step process but that's usually for brown ranges and if there are greys and stubborn ones sometimes you still need to go over it just one more time.
Help. Heavy hair fall. I think Hygral fatigue. What can I do. My hair is way too soft and always have a damp feel to it. Even though I haven’t wash in almost 2 weeks. I’m scared to wet it now…😢
Hello. When using pure henna powder (body art quality), and herbs for hair, you can use stainless steel bowls. Traditionally, they have used iron bowls, as it has been shown to bring more dye release. We typically use a spatula to mix it. We don’t usually use plastic bowls because they are porous, and the herbs will stain the bowl. The commercial boxes of henna, and henna “colors” that contain other ingredients, herbs, additives, metallic salts, etc..would cause reactions with metal bowls, then 100% pure herbs would.
I have a question I wasn’t able to find the answer to. I did henna twice on my full head with two different henna brands but they only worked on my roots. Would you happen to know why?
Yes absolutely. You don't have to rush to do it same day. You can even have 2-3 days apart. The main thing I don't want is that people wait too long and new growth comes in.
Hello. To achieve black tone, we require a two-step process with henna and indigo. For the first step we recommend our Moroccan henna hair dye: hennasooq.com/products/fresh-moroccan-henna-powder. You can also check our complete guide in order to help you in the process of coloring your hair: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/
Khadija! I need someone to clarify me this. I heard henna can turn your hair darker... What can I do to avoid it? I heard something about amla but I prefer your advice, Thank you!🧡
Hello. It depends on what color you want to achieve. Amla helps maintain curls, adds volume to hair and helps to reduce some of the brightness of henna hair dye.
Does it matter if your curl pattern is loosened? My curl pattern is erratic anyway. My curl pattern changes depending on where you on on my hair strands so it tangles horribly. I thoght it may be a deficiency in my hair strand, and I was hoping henna could help make it more uniform. I love your henna products and the aloe vera powder really helped with the moisture. Any other advice is appreciated.
Hello. You can place it in the fridge for 5-7 days. Please use it within 7 days of being made (if kept in the fridge). If you have any leftovers you can freezer for up to 6 months
Hello. You have to them separately. You can check this guide for your reference: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/

Hi Please help i brought hanna and indigo because of ppd ,hanna went well but the indigo 🤦♀️🤦♀️gezzz my whole head started to itchi gezzz for days which never happen can u shreds some light on what went wrong,the hanna and indigo is Rajasthan products iam from the 🇹🇹🇹🇹
Can henna and indigo be mixed as a one step dying process instead of a two step process. I would like to mix 100 grams of henna with 25 grams of Amla, wait for dye release. After dye release add my 100 grams indigo mix to the henna and Amla mixture. Is this possible? And if so, do I still get black? Or a brownish color? Thank you! Edit: I found your video for the one step henna and indigo process ❤. Thank you!!!
This is only if you're using henna that has additives, metallic salts and compound henna. Ours does not so metal aka stainless steel is safe and more sanitary as well.
Hello. You will definitely need to add aloe Vera powder to your recipe and then use our cleansing cowash conditoner to restore moisture and lastly make sure you’re using a water based leave in
I guess they feel like they have to accept old age when they still look younger than their age? But it’s also societal pressures and self esteem issues too it’s a bunch of everything . For me it is a matter of feeling age has knocked on my door telling me “love your days are numbered “ 😂. But I think I look younger and I feel young! But I have been hating the orange brassy fade from henna lately . 3 yrs ago I didn’t mind but lately I don’t like the faded colour approaching 4-6 weeks. Most my hair is black so that orange I think makes me look tired ? I’m thinking why pay to look tired when I can looo tired naturally with those white strands? Plus I was thinking when my white hair goes beyond my ears do I want a head of ginger hair with brown skin? I think not I definitely won’t be dying my precious eyebrows and lashes 😂 So essentially you’re right about me I need to come to terms with it. And in my early 40s I need to accept it’s just another part of life , go with it not against it .I think I’m very close to accepting it mostly because I don’t see the long term benefits in henna anymore . Perhaps other herbal powders for conditioning, because I do enjoy the henna hair mask it’s strangely relaxing!
White hair is okay, but older hair tends have a rough texture ..so maybe using a neutral henna or triphala and coconut oil to restore hair's soft texture and lustre helps .
Oh please…. You obviously have no idea about the Muslim religion. My hair is in great condition listening to Kadijah’s expertise, along with other you tube channels.
so the women in the video who used it herself and showed the whole process isnt enough? you're a weirdo troll who has something against Muslim women and the culture.

I could use recommendations/suggestions. I’m giving detailed information hoping it helps with a solution.
The Problem:
My henna treatment is not lasting as long on certain areas of my hair. Within a week or two weeks after, a fresh henna treatment. I have visual gray hair around my front edges and the front widow’s peak area.
Hair type: I have hair locs (15 months).

1 TBSP Organic Amla Powder
1-2 TSP Organic Aloe Vera Powder.

I mix my henna treatment at night, in a glass bowl. It sits on my kitchen countertop.
The next morning. I wash my locs with a clarifying shampoo bar-right before applying my henna treatment.
I allow the henna treatment 4 hours-before I wash it out.
What has changed? My henna mixture. I used to use Organic Red Raj.
Mvto! Thank you!
why not keep it at Red Raj since that colors very stubborn greys better?
I was confused by the metal spoon. I thought metal is a no-no with henna.

Hello. To achieve black tone, we require a two-step process with henna and indigo. For the first step we recommend our Moroccan henna hair dye: hennasooq.com/products/fresh-moroccan-henna-powder. You can also check our complete guide in order to help you in the process of coloring your hair: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/
Khadija! I need someone to clarify me this. I heard henna can turn your hair darker... What can I do to avoid it? I heard something about amla but I prefer your advice, Thank you!🧡
Hello. It depends on what color you want to achieve. Amla helps maintain curls, adds volume to hair and helps to reduce some of the brightness of henna hair dye.

Does it matter if your curl pattern is loosened? My curl pattern is erratic anyway. My curl pattern changes depending on where you on on my hair strands so it tangles horribly. I thoght it may be a deficiency in my hair strand, and I was hoping henna could help make it more uniform. I love your henna products and the aloe vera powder really helped with the moisture. Any other advice is appreciated.
Hello. All henna do possibly loosen curls. Using Amla and/or zizyphus powder and products will help maintain curls in between colorings.
How can i store leftover product. I didnt use any water. Juice oil an aloe juice?

What do you do for the smell? It was a shock to me when I used it, I wasn’t expecting it to be that bad! 😢
essential oils. she has an orange one i like.

Do you shampoo after henna and indigo or just wash with water? I heard some RUclipsrs recommend doing the shampoo next day so the colour can stick?
Hello. It’s best to be as gentle as possible when washing out your henna coloring treatment and allow the color to settle for up to 48 hours.
After the dye release of the henna and indigo can you mix both then apply or do you have to do them separate?
Hello. You have to them separately. You can check this guide for your reference: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/
Can I use the indigo alone to have a blue tent??
Hello. Bluish with indigo will be only bluish black not quite blue toned

how can she advise on products tat arent her own? maybe the indigo was contaminated
Can henna and indigo be mixed as a one step dying process instead of a two step process. I would like to mix 100 grams of henna with 25 grams of Amla, wait for dye release. After dye release add my 100 grams indigo mix to the henna and Amla mixture. Is this possible? And if so, do I still get black? Or a brownish color? Thank you!
Edit: I found your video for the one step henna and indigo process ❤. Thank you!!!
get both to do their individual dye releases (henna - 3hrs, indigo - 30mins) then add them together in one bowl.
Hi mam how to I cover white hair in henna
Indigo powder for me allergy .instead any other powder ? & also eyebrows white hair what to do ?
Sorry then only henna will work for you.
@@HennaSooq thank you sister
Hi mam any remedy thick eyebrows growth please ?
Yes you can use the same herbs for thicker eyebrows if there's hair there. Like amla and hair growth masks found right here on our channel.
@@HennaSooq you mean amla powder want use in eyebrows ok how mix only Amal powder ?, want mix in water ? Please
Imma buy from you.
I thought you weren’t supposed to use meltal
This is only if you're using henna that has additives, metallic salts and compound henna. Ours does not so metal aka stainless steel is safe and more sanitary as well.
Is it halal to dye hair in the two step process since it covers grey hairs black?
I’m not a scholar. I’d recommend for religious concerns do contact your local imam
Ok thanks for replying
Pls I'm in nigeria how can I order the henna and the indigo with aloe vera powder.
You can get henna and indigo in Nigeria. I get mine in Lagos.
Hello. You can shop on our website: hennasooq.com/. We ship worldwide!
Is this process the same with locs?
Hello. Yes, it's the same process.
can I wash my hair and can it be wet before I apply the henna in my hair?
damp not too wet.
Hello. Make sure that your hair is damp but not too wet.
Does the henna dye dry the hair?
not if you add aloe vera powder like she did. please wrap it well with platic to keep it moist
Hello. You will definitely need to add aloe Vera powder to your recipe and then use our cleansing cowash conditoner to restore moisture and lastly make sure you’re using a water based leave in
@@HennaSooq What do you use if you are allergic to aloe?

Why don't you show out on your hair?!

I’d like to be an ambassador. I’ve been greying since my twenties and pretty much my entire head is grey at the moment and I’m not 40 yet.
Sucky lol
apply to our ambassador program!
I wish more women embrace the grey there is nothing wrong with it.
I guess they feel like they have to accept old age when they still look younger than their age? But it’s also societal pressures and self esteem issues too it’s a bunch of everything .
For me it is a matter of feeling age has knocked on my door telling me “love your days are numbered “ 😂. But I think I look younger and I feel young!
But I have been hating the orange brassy fade from henna lately . 3 yrs ago I didn’t mind but lately I don’t like the faded colour approaching 4-6 weeks. Most my hair is black so that orange I think makes me look tired ? I’m thinking why pay to look tired when I can looo tired naturally with those white strands?
Plus I was thinking when my white hair goes beyond my ears do I want a head of ginger hair with brown skin? I think not I definitely won’t be dying my precious eyebrows and lashes 😂
So essentially you’re right about me I need to come to terms with it. And in my early 40s I need to accept it’s just another part of life , go with it not against it .I think I’m very close to accepting it mostly because I don’t see the long term benefits in henna anymore . Perhaps other herbal powders for conditioning, because I do enjoy the henna hair mask it’s strangely relaxing!
you should wish that women could do whatever they want. some pull it off, some do not
White hair is okay, but older hair tends have a rough texture ..so maybe using a neutral henna or triphala and coconut oil to restore hair's soft texture and lustre helps .
I kinda wonder how we know for certain that this stuff works when the woman peddling it keeps her hair hidden always 🤔
Are you serious. I have no words
Oh please…. You obviously have no idea about the Muslim religion. My hair is in great condition listening to Kadijah’s expertise, along with other you tube channels.
so the women in the video who used it herself and showed the whole process isnt enough? you're a weirdo troll who has something against Muslim women and the culture.
She is not hidding
@@stephina4853 well, she's not exactly showing us the magical results, now is she?
She is mixing henna with metal spoon 🥴
It’s natural the metal spoon has no effect on henna it’s just plants in powered form.
