Can I use room temperature distilled water or should it be warm?I have lavender essential oil, when should I add it to return the smell of the henna ? Should it directly to the henna paste without adding carrier oil?
Yes, room temperature is fine. You can add the lavender essential oil when mixing or right before applying. Yes, you can add it directly to the henna paste. You do not need a carrier oil as it is being mixed in with the henna.
@@TheHennaGuys when can I add the apple cider vinegar ? Should I add it with the distilled water ? I am using organic pure henna. I use apple cider vinegar to reduce the reddish color
You may use it once but it really depends on your hair. If you have damage hair, we recommend you apply it at least 2 times. If you are fine with the color the first use, no need to recolor again.
Good catch! If that does happen you may add a little more henna to make it cake-like batter. You want to add water gradually. In 25 grams you will need about 1/4 of the cup, but we still recommend adding it gradually.
Lemon is used to help lighten color naturally. I personally use burgundy on my dark hair and mix with lemon juice to help show the redness more on my dark hair.
You can freeze it in a sealed container, preferably a non-clear container, to keep it out of the light while storing. It should also be noted that storing mixed henna can result in the color coming out less vibrant than freshly made henna.
Hello. This video explains that the mixture needs to rest for 8 to 10 hours. At the end, it says to avoid using shampoo after the application for 48 hours.
We only don't recommend it because henna does have slight acidic properties and people like to add acidic liquid like lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, this could cause an iron bowl to tarnish.
@@TheHennaGuys awesome, I did henna before but got an undesired color result and it turned me off. Very interested in seeing how your different mixtures react to hair colors, because I loved the way my hair and scalp felt after using it. :D
Can I add Amla powder and neem powder in the same time, if o added warm distilled water will this tone down the red color?
Yes, you may mix both into henna or even together alone. This does help tone down he redness a bit. Hope this helps:)

Have we to use regularly or once is enogh??

I tried hibiscus tea, it didn’t really help. A deep red wine and beet juice worked much better. (I know, everyone is different and results vary).
What color was your hair? That will depend too. You can also message us at sales@thehennaguys.com and one of our experts will can help you more:)
Beet juice is a fan favorite to use in henna hair dyes!
It seems your mixture is really watery not like a pancake texture. I am confused. How much water per a whole package of henna?
Good catch! If that does happen you may add a little more henna to make it cake-like batter. You want to add water gradually. In 25 grams you will need about 1/4 of the cup, but we still recommend adding it gradually.

Should you put henna on wet or dry hair?
Dry hair is best.
Can you add lemon ?
Lemon is used to help lighten color naturally. I personally use burgundy on my dark hair and mix with lemon juice to help show the redness more on my dark hair.
Great direction thank you
Very welcome
Can you prepare and store unused in the fridge for weeks!
You can freeze it in a sealed container, preferably a non-clear container, to keep it out of the light while storing. It should also be noted that storing mixed henna can result in the color coming out less vibrant than freshly made henna.
Thankyou i will try
Why do the instructions say to let it set 45 minutes after mixing and here you say 8 to 10 hours?

Thank you for the tutorial
Glad you enjoyed!
Why do you use black coffee
The brewed coffee as the main liquid helps deepen the color and lessens red tones.
Um I thought you are supposed to use an iron bowl for henna
We only don't recommend it because henna does have slight acidic properties and people like to add acidic liquid like lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, this could cause an iron bowl to tarnish.
Might be stupid but can we use a plastic bowl?@@TheHennaGuys
