Do you struggle with coloring your grey hair? Let me know if you have any questions after watching this video and I will help you finally get those resistant greys covered!
Hi Khadijah, I do have few questions, I have been on henna ( adding an egg and vinegar and honey) + indigo ( adding yogurt) 2 steps weekly after shampooing it for about a year. I am curly and my hair is course. Recently my curls are too relaxed and my hair is damaged, getting brittle ends and shedding a lot
What am I doing wrong?
I use organic henna and indigo and I wrap my hair with cling film for a couple of hours for each application.
Looking forward to hearing from you 🥰🥰🥰
Yes I really do have stubborn unruly greys, thanks for sharing my next application I hope will have better results.
Is the indigo included with your henna purchase?
@@4EverGrateful.
I buy them separately from amazon
Hi my husband doesn't like the smell of indigo . Can you help me.
I use a plastic cap for my hair overall but I then wrap my edges with Saran wrap. This always ensures they don't dry out and they get great coloration! Hope this helps someone 😊
I do the same thing girl! ☺🤗
Saaaaaaaaame!
I will try cause this is where my problem is those stubborn very fine " baby hairs" when I use rinses they don't budge
Great tip! Gonna try that next next time l❤
In Somalia we use left over black coffee, red tea and result are perfect
Salam dear can you help me about my grey hair...? I am a girl
I got the best results this weekend by doing henna + indigo as step one. After 4hrs, I washed it off and did step 2 with indigo alone and let it sit for another 4hrs. My goodness... my hair turned out jet-black and super shiny. Even the stubborn greys at the front were not spared. The application process and waiting is quite hectic but totally worth it.
Two days ago, I too did the same as you for the first time since I began using henna in 2018. As a customer of Henna Sooq since 2018, Khadijah sharing this information was indeed helpful. However, my first application was 75:25, mostly indigo to get as dark as possible on the first application, second application only indigo. Too bad deep conditioning your hair after each wash fades the henna. Oh well.
Nancy please what is another name for indigo cos people don’t know what is indigo
Wow! That was great 👍
@@kceeNancy I have heard it being called neel in Urdu I don't know how to say in Arabic but I hope this helps
Hey Nancy ! Thank you for sharing. Not sure if you are still checking this thread, but do you mind sharing if the indigo black color was retained by your hair so far? I am struggling to get the indigo stick. My hair comes out really nice and black right after the two step process, but the indigo gets washed out about a month later, and the greys I tried to cover are all left looking deep red from the henna. Would appreciate your feedback. So glad you found a strategy that worked for you
Love your videos! I have been using henna for 7 years now after an immune illness caused me to become extremely sensitive to perfumes, harsh chemicals and bleach products. Henna keeps my greys away and leaves me healthy and not feeling sick for 2 - 3 weeks after treatment.
For anyone with chemical sensitivity who wants to color their hair with a natural shade of red... henna is a goddess of perfection.
I mix my henna with warm beet juice instead of water , and I get a beautiful deep copper /auburn red
Wow I may try that instead of warm coffee. Thk you
Do you also follow up with indigo as a step 2?
I've been using their Red Raj for years to cover greys. I like the copper color, so I don't bother with the indigo step. My tip: I brew my henna powder with hibiscus tea as the tea has an acidic pH (which increases dye release) and is itself a beautiful red color. Once developed, I add a few drops of lavender essential oil as this also helps release lawsone. Gorgeous results!
Greetings, I love your advice. I use to get my henna in a box (where it was premixed into various hues) I always used wine & neutral. I believe you just inspired me to try your technique.
WHAT IS A RED RAJ PLEASE
It's henna that Henna Sooq sells.
I like to get your produced henna am in jamaic
I saw a Tutorial about indigo and henna and the lady say that after his experience with the mixture indigo don’t like acidity!! And with the hibiscus 🌺 ph acid indigo don’t like hibiscus 🌺 I m confused I m in a war to hide my grey hair 🧑🦳 and from tutorial to tutorial I m literally lost 😞
After watching many videos I saw yours and finally decided to give henna + indigo a try. I followed your tips to the letter and it worked! 💜🙏🏼 These two covered my grays way better than any hair dye I tried in the past (and I tried a lot!) Thank you!
did this make a black color bc my hair is already black so I need black for my grey
@@deedeetoler6725 mine is dark(est) brown and it works fine. I only do root touch ups when needed.
I am just the happiest person here! Just started using your product and have stubborn grays! But I got discouraged because of the way I was doing the application. This is a right on time! Thank you 🙏🏾
I’m new to henna and have recently undergone a hair detox. So now my hair care is 100% chemical free and non-toxic! Yay! You mentioned some things here I had not known and will integrate into my henna color routine. Thank you!
This one of the dopest channels ever. Much appreciated!!
I been using Henna Sooq- Red Raj + Amla powder for years now! I’ve used many other henna lines but Henna Sooq is by far the best! I get the best copper/ brown tones to my grays! I love the products and definitely recommend!
I have watched several videos on dying my hair using henna and indigo….for years!!! Yours is the first channel that recommended combining the henna and indigo, and adding a second, separate indigo application. I have henna in my hair as I’m typing this message. I have always applied henna separately and then indigo afterwards as a second step. My results have been pretty inconsistent. I’m going to try your method next time. Thank you so much for your videos. New subscriber!
Luv luv luv your henna products and indigo and although I have been using them for two years I learned something new, I think my consistency is a bit to thin😬 The next time I apply it I will use less water & will do the 2-Step process to help tone down some of my coppery hues. Thank you for continuing to education us 💝
Thank you so much for this video. I am finally ready to make the switch to Henna!
Hello Kadija
I use Henna Sooq - Red Raj and Indigo and follow your 2 step henna dye process to cover my grey hairs and it works! 👍🏾🙏🏾
Awesome instructional video. Thank you!!
You have saved my life😁 I am allergic to ppd . my hair look like a snowball and I want my black hair back. thank you💕
Thank you soo much for the tip of 2nd application with Indigo!
You're so welcome!
I use this method for root touch ups once a month but I only leave it on for 2 hrs. Still works great.
Assalamu alaikum my respected sister I was told a little yogurt into my hennah is very good. I'm so happy I found your channel 👍
This is my first time To watch this channel thank you for sharing I learn a lot I always mix the powder together and I’m waiting for two hours and applying on my hair but today I learned a lot thank you so much again for sharing
Love this advice!
Thank you for your detailed video. I am so glad I found you.
Welcome!
Thank you so much for this video.
You are really amazing!! So helpful . Thank you so much.
I got my Henna and Indigo today. I can't wait to try it! I have really stubborn gray hair at the roots.
Yasss ❤️
Thanks for the video I have never done my grays twice I will do that the next time😉
Yesterday I made a mixture of pure henna and indigo. The ratio of henna to indigo was approximately 1:1. I added one spoon each of amla powder, cassia powder, neem powder and aloe vera powder to the mixture. I kept the mixture on my hair for about 3 hours and then rinsed it well with just water. Today I only put indigo and that only on the roots that have some stubborn grays that cannot be covered with chemical dye. I kept the indigo on my hair for about 20 minutes to half an hour. After that I only washed with water. The result is astonishing. Persistent grays are completely covered. Hair that was previously dyed with chemical dyes has now doubled in volume. And the color, the color is a cool natural coffee brown. Thanks for the very valuable tips
Thank you so much. We appreciate your feedback! 🫶
I do the 1 step process to color my greys. I do the henna and I’m loving the red color Red Raj gives my greys 😀
Great info, thank you so much for sharing. I'd like to add that I used to have very dry scalp and hair after henna treatment. I could see and feel that my hair is super healthy when wet. Unfortunately once I dry it up, my scalp would itch and hair became crunchy until recently when I discovered glycerine oil . I add it to the treatment during henna application and every other day to keep my hair and scalp well moisturised. I couldn't be happier!
Ps: Glycerine oil is a little sticky but keeps the hair so moisturised and soft. I'm not sure many people would appreciate the stickiness lol. Personally I don't mind because my hair is pretty short :-)
Do you leave it on or do you apply and rinse off after a while? Does it make hair look oily?
Thank you explained that very well.
Ok thanks, I finally get it!!! I think it will work this time! Let’s see👀👀👀👍🏽💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You go girl,very informative.
Thank you sharing I will try it with the Hanna first and then the Indigo
I find that if I use a 50:50 henna:indigo ratio for the first application, my greys do not get covered. I typically need almost 100% henna for the first application. Then on the second application, I do 75:25 indigo: henna to achieve a darker brown tone.
Your second mix of 75:25 mostly indigo ratio is what do. I have been doing this as my sole step. Recently, I have had to reapply the is within a week. I've thought that indigo makes the dark color. Do you apply your second application the same day or wait a few days? Seems Khadija says the second application should be only indigo. I think I will try this soon. I'd appreciate your feedback. Thank you
i am going to try this my next time...cos these grays are super super stubborn
I agree tht the 50:50 did nothing for me. I got a couple of copper strays then nothing. I now did Red Raj alone then after rinsing that out, added just indigo over that and frankly its like the indigo didnt take at all and i left that on overnight
@@foxlola1 hey, did you get round to trying this?
Make sure you don't make the indigo until you're ready to use it. In the video she makes them at the same time but you need to let the henna sit for 3 or 4 hours BEFORE mixing the indigo. Once you mix that into the henna use it IMMEDIATELY for the indigo to work.
Yep mine is definitely orange. Unintentional but….I like it!
Thank you my dear with the information,l have stubborn grey hair l will try that
Thanks for the great information
When i used to dye my hair darker i used henna first on my roots and then the henna and indygo mixture. It helped a lot cover all greys and colour was more intense 😊
What ratio of henna and indigo?
What ratio?
First just henna and then half henna half indigo. More henna means more reddisch. More indigo will make it darker. It's up to you how dark you want it to be
Does henna harm your roots or slow hair growth
?😊
@savinggift158 no it doesnt. Its opposit. Henna makes hair thicker and healthier 😊
Thank you i just got the henna
Hi Khadijah. Can you do a video on touching up the grey roots only? Also, I use a few different oils in my hair. Does this make the color fade quicker, and which oils are best to use to prevent fading before the 4 to 6 weeks of the next henna treatment? Thanks for this video 👍🏽. I will do the 2 step treatment on my next henna day.
Would like to know the answer to this too! @hennasooq
tried this method & it's first time I've got 100% coverage of my stubborn grey hairs mainly along front hairline which is obvious more noticeable. I've been using henna/Indigo trying to achieve black, in my light brown hair with 10% grey's. doing just one henna/Indigo application with higher % of Indigo will achieve dark brown hair fairly well (albeit greys tend to fade quickly)
But if you want pitch black, the key to achieving this -main difference from other methods - is DOING as hennasooq recommends, the henna/Indigo mix first then 100% Indigo IMMEDIATELY after rinsing out the combination henna/Indigo. I'm very glad I found this tutorial & now have a reliable source of information for henna related issues. Thankz heaps hennsooq
Welcome. Glad it worked out!
Thanks I needed this video
Your doing great. Your awesome and real..
Thank you
Thank you !
I just started watching your channel. Maybe everyone is different but I mix henna with apple cider vinegar and peppermint, lavender and rosemary essential oils and get perfect coverage of my grey hair the first time. My hair does grow back really fast but I still only do it once a month and my hair loves it.
Hi Kim, If I understand correctly, you mix all 4 together with the henna (apple cider vinegar, peppermint, lavender, and rosemary)? Please inform. Thanks
@@carolegray7980 Hi Carole! Yes ma’am! I mix henna with apple cider vinegar first and once it looks like a paste, I add in my lavender, peppermint and rosemary essential oil and let it sit overnight. Maybe you don’t have to let it sit overnight but I’d rather be safe than sorry 😆 I never mix it with water unless doing a tea when I just want to strengthen my strands. When I want coverage for my greys, I mix with apple cider vinegar
@@kimmurphy9094 Thanks for the info. I want to try your recipe for my first time. I just wanted to ask if you leave the mix in the fridge overnight or out on the counter. Thank you and have a blessed day!
So you don’t use indigo? Which color your grey hair turns out?
@@bettyannwashington2367 Hi! I just leave it out overnight. I make enough to cover my hair at that time so I don’t have to put it in the fridge once I’m done.
my roots are always burnt orange or light brown..Another great video Hun
Thank you it’s work perfectly
You're welcome!
Thank you very much. I can try again.
Always welcome
Thank you sister, I will try your suggestion tomorrow and see what happens,
Hello I brought some of your items a year ago and now I’m ready to get this gray out. I need to know what are the measurements you use so I can get this right because it’s going to be my very first time.
Thank you so much.
My hair came out a beautiful brown, I've gotten so many compliments and it did cover my grays except for the edges, otherwise, it was shiny and so pretty!
Oh wow! 🤩
Thankyou for your information
Welcome!
Thank for sharing 🙏 Im on it😊
You're welcome!
Hi Khadija. Learnt a lot from you. I have been using henna to cover my grey hair for awhile now. Lately I did a braid out with hair attachment. I noticed my hair became more brittle after loosening my hair. Left the attachment on my hair for about a month. My hair is naturally soft and a bit curly. Lost quite a bit of hairstrands while loosening it. How do I restore my hair besides using henna.?
Im definitely try this for my next app. Grey hair is hard.
Thank you 🙏
So I used henna for 4 hours and it was too copper. But as soon as I rinsed it out, I used the same leftover henna batch on the front part of my hair line for 30 extra minutes. Rinsed out then used indigo for two hours, On the parts where I did the second (30 min) henna, my hair is still dark. .. everything else, henna and indigo washed out and became very light. This was also the first time I did NOT use heat…and also the first time the color faded…So heat cap seems to be key for grey to black in my experience.
Thanks 😀💕
Thank you ⭐
great info`!!!
I use 200g of henna powder (only henna, i like the red tone), 500ml of water (normal temperature) and 50ml of vinager (you have a better dye release when the environment is more acid). Let it rest for 4 to 8 hours, depending on the weather temperature, away from light (cause light degrades the pigment) and coverd (cause oxygen also degrades the pigment). Then, leave it in my head for 3 to 4 hours. Always works very nicely. Never goes away, never fades.
I started using henna/indigo treatment because of Natural85 a few years ago because I trust when she recommends products. I don't mind the amount of time it takes to do this process. However, I stopped using b/c I have STUBBORN grey hair. I mean after doing this long process only to have the greys in the front still be there was soooo frustrating. I am going to try this process of adding indigo to the henna and then doing the indigo treatment. I am really hoping this works.
Great video beautiful 😍 🤩
Love you sis! Thanks for all the helpful tips.
This formula works
Hi! How long after using a protein treatment can i use henna treatment
In my experience, I have used henna right after mixing and it worked. The same happened with indigo. I tried also the henna leftover over a week and it worked perfectly on grey hair
What?? Really?? 😃
@@traceylennon1204
Shampoo your hair and try it
Same for me. I mix henna then use it immediately, a day before I use it, a week before I use it & I've froze it for a week took it out of the freezer & still let it sit for a week & it still worked fine to cover my greys in every instance.
Same here. I put my left over in the freezer.
Must smell really nice
Brown tone for me..for my greys!!
I tried doing a second indigo after the first process😲😲😲😲😲 OMG it works. The greys are covered and it looks normal not having 2 different colors, I did not know that can be possible thank you Khadija😁 BTW always wear gloves, I didn't wear one now my hands look funny😂
Welcome! Yass gloves is a must.
I have ORS aloe shampoo which is a clarifying shampoo!
I've been trying to achieve black hair using henna and indigo a few times. It hasn't worked. It takes the henna but with the indigo all I get it coppery red on my greys. That's doing it separately and mixing them together, different consistency, adding different items, still not black. But I'll keep trying.
Thank you 🙏🏾
No problem 😊
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT AND PASSION. I AM BIG ON HENNA AND THE 2-STEP PROCESS TO GET BETTER GRAY COVERAGE EVERY 4-6 WEEKS. I ALSO FOLLOW UP WITH HENNA/AMLA GLOSSES AS I AM A BIG SWIMMER AND FREQUENTLY WASH MY HAIR AS THE SWIM CAP DOES NOT TOTALLY PREVENT THE CHLORINATED WATER FROM SEEPING THROUGH AND BOTH TEND TO CAUSE THE COPPERY/BRIGHT ORANGE TO PULL THROUGH. WOULD YOU ADVISE REPEATING THE HENNA & INDIGO MIX TO COVER THE GRAY; AND IF SO, AT WHAT LEVEL OF FREQUENCY? LASTLY, CAN INDIGO BE ADDED TO A HENNA/AMLA GLOSS TREATMENT? AND WHAT WOULD BE THE BENEFIT?

Darn. I missed the live!! I've waited all week and missed it. Smh
Hello Khadija, I have to say that I love your products, they feel so nice on my hair, they blend so easily and I love the shine on my hair but, I've been struggling a little bit with my mixing with indigo. Let me tell you that I have to make two steps. First step: I just use Red Raj (my favorite) with hot distilled water and I leave it for 24 hours, completely cover with plastic to not to let it dry; next day I apply it on my hair for 1 hour and henna works beatifuly, I mean: no gray hair and I get this orage color. Step two: Next day, I make 65% organic indigo(20 minutes), 20% of Red Raj(pre-24 hours) and 5% of Cassia with distilled water and insted of aloe vera I use flaxseed gel and I leave it for 3 hours on my hair and I don't kwon why but I don't get an uniform color 'coz some parts are dark and some like light brown chocolate. What do you recommend me to do? Thanks for your time.
I absolutely enjoy your videos. They are very informative and entertaining!! My question is, I do not have color in my hair but I have some medium blonde highlights. How can I get more blue or violet tones with my henna color if I do a one hour henna treatment? Please assist. Love, Love your channel. 💖
Henna only gives a red or orange color to the hair. It is not possible to get blue or violet using henna.
I didnt realize that I could cover grays in one step! I do two steps henna for an hour and indigo for an hour and it looks perfectly black.
Hi, did you ever do the 1 step process to cover the grey??? That doesn't work!!! That's why Khadia said in the video that the 2nd indigo application is necessary for covering grey hair.
@@jellybellyfun3288 Yes, after thinking about it, I try it years ago and you’re right it didn’t work. But the two step for one hour each is what also worked for me rather than three hours for henna and three hours for indigo.
@@MoonLightOnWater1 Thanks for your reply! Do you have really thick hair?
@@jellybellyfun3288 I have 4a texture and medium density hair…..I don’t see it as thick, cause it was much thicker years ago, but other’s see it as “full” and think my natural texture is 3b/c, but it isn’t.
@@MoonLightOnWater1 ok thank you
Hi Kadija.. Do you not recommend adding amla to the hennna because I would like to get a medium brown with VERY limited copper red tones
Yes...if u use a iron bowl it will enhance the brown color.. infact when i mix amla my hand also gets stained
Lovely lady, thank you for the video
Welcome!
What do you think about mixing lemon juice?
Janaki amma is inspiring so many to sing like her, but there will never be another like her
What I should do to get black or deep dark brown color, my hair is dyed lighy brown, Thank you
I just ordered henna from you, but I forgot the balm! Is there anything you recommend that I can pick up at the store.
Love Your videos
thank you so much!!
Mashallah thanks for this
You're welcome!
Hiiii!! 😀😀😀😀Thank you so much for this video!!! Question for you. What if the 2nd step organic indigo powder that you added salt and water to doesn't turn indigo color before you apply it on the hair??? 😥😭😭😭😭😭 Usually, the indigo powder turns indigo/bluish within 10 mins of mixing the indigo powder, salt and water, however, this time it remained green at the time of application on my hair. I didn't cover the mixture at all with plastic wrap to allow for dye release before applying it on my hair.🌐Will it still turn my hair black? Thank you so much if you can reply. 😊🙏
I was using hair colour for more than 10 years , now motivated to use henna , tried ur method by applying 4 weeks but the roots still seem not to be covered . Also tried 2 step , should i continue and will see results or go back to my hair colour
Hi Khadija, thank you for sharing your expertise with us! Can you use henna and indigo on keratin/brazilian treated hair?
Hello. Yes, you may do so since our products are safe with chemicals.
Does washing the hair with baking soda beforehand cleanse it thoroughly enough? I've been having the issue with a hendigo treatment fading at the roots in less than a week. And even with a recent two-step, the indigo has already started to fade at the roots in less than a week, though it does look a tad better than the hendigo result. But still, it's not very long and it's annoying.
yes that can help open your hair up for some people for sure. You may want to make sure you aren't using any products or cleansers that take color out as well. Indigo can be tough to bind for some and require a few layerings/applications.
Hello I would like to know, applied henna (lawsonia) on the hair, must it be covered with a cap?
😊🌈🦋🌺
I am glad that this can be separated and frozen, because that's a lot for my short hair. Looking forward to this recipe for dyeing my hair brown.
Thank you.
I have never used your brand the colour on the tub says auburn which is the colour I want to achieve but now I’m getting greys they go bright orange and They don’t darken or blend with time what should do ?
3:20 Wow!!! Only let it sit for 3 to 4 hours for henna powder mix? We usually let it sit for 6 hours before applying it on our hair. We also mix it with warm coffee water and keep it covered while it sits.
I bought my first pack last week but haven't received my package yet. My 3-5 days seem to be taking longer. I am trying this brand because I've been using henna and indigo for about 7 years but it is not working. I hope I get my order because I really want to try this brand.
Thank you for your video. Does cassia powder have the same advantages as henna?
Hello. Yes, it does.
Thank you for your amazing videos! I have noticed my hair smells really bad after I have dyed with henna and indigo. How do I remove this bad smell of henna/indigo?
Thank you
You can add essential oils to the henna and indigo mixtures to avoid the smell.
The higher quality henna and indigo don't require you to do a double even if you have stubborn and thick grey hair. Just do henna alone, and then indigo alone. Works well, if you use high-quality products. I haven't used Henna Sooq, but I use a different brand.
Thanks for the tips!
