Ahhhh!! I finally got darker color on my gray hair! This time I added more indigo to my mix and wow!! I was surprised with the color that I got, YAYYY! 😍 I hope you enjoy watching this video, friends!! ❤️
Instead of conditioning, you can use a bit of apple cider vinegar and argan oil. It does not disrupt the henna and your hair will feel soft and detangled
@@elmirathierichen7182I just heard from a henna vendor and they instructed me to wash out the henna with clarifying shampoo and conditioner and then apply the Indigo. This goes against everything I've read that you should let the henna sit for awhile. But their analysis was that the rinsing only of henna leaves a henna residue which the Indigo Vines to and then washes out. This goes against everything I've read elsewhere but it does make some sense. I haven't tried it yet, I'm procrastinating, but will do so probably in the next week
You're so right about the conditioner washing the henna color out. I've experienced this and I'm glad you spoke about it. henna is very drying so I'm concerned especially about my curly hair getting dry and breaking without the conditioner. So I found the fix to be to oil your hair lightly after washing out the henna. Just let it sit for two days or so and then you can wash and condition.
First time henna user...tired of regular chemical products. I did follow your instructions and after I rinsed it with water only... I am very happy with the results. I can't wait to see how it will look after shampoo it. Thank you Rose!
Fantastic! I came here to descale my Nespresso machine and found this hair video! I purchased indigo and henna last month and have been nervous to actually do it, but this video is so perfect! Just ordered hibiscus powder and will try this weekend. Thanks for the very helpful videos! So happy I found your channel today! ☺️♥️👏🏼👏🏼
Your final hair color is very beautiful, I will try your recipe for covering my gray hair. I totally agree with you about the use of the conditioner: I skip it almost for 2-3 day after henna. For achieve hair without fizzy, try to add a pair of sugar tablespoon, directly into henna paste. It works very well like a conditioner.
Hi Marta, this is Michele and I have grey hair. To my understanding, i can mix the indigo powder with henna instead of waiting later to use the indigo? Please Marta can you text me back make it clear to me? Thanks a lot.
Ive never heard of henna or indigo before, but thats great theres natural options for hair coloring! I am so sorry you got an allergic reaction from the other product :( personally, I like the look of gray hair but its cool to see you helping others with how to do this
I use Rainbow henna that is pre- mixed with indigo. I boil water and steep a tea bag . After I make the tea I add a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of olive oil.. then, I mix it. I use a china/ ceramic/ glass bowl and non- metal spoon . I use a brush small brow comb to apply to the hairline and I mix the rest in my hair. I do my hair wet and slightly,. towel dried first. I also keep Visine/ Bausch and Lomb eye wash available in case I get it in my eyes. Do not inhale henna. Powders cause lung problems I have asthma so, I use a face mask and ventilation before mixing the henna. I keep my Albuterol pump handy. Women in the Middle East, India, Shri Lanka, etc use lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar. Rainbow has a shampoo and conditioner .
Great video , Could u kindly clarify my query , if I am not wrong u started aiming for 60% indigo and 40% henna , But henna combination ( 24 gm henna ,12 hibiscus ,3 gm amla = total =39 gm) is 39 gm And indigo is measured to 36gm ( instead of 60 gm indigo which would make upto 60% ) . So that part is bit confusing , please correct me if I am wrong . The combination as made in the video Henna 24 gm , hibiscus 12gm amla 3 gm , indigo 36 gm would add upto 75gm That leaves henna at 32% and indigo at 48%
I’m so sorry for the confusion I should’ve explained how I do my measurements. 😅 So I was aiming for 75 grams of the total paste so I first took out 5% for the Aloe Vera powder and that was around 3.75 but I made it 3 to make it easier to remember. Now take (75-3=72) then I took 17% from the 72 (72x17%= 12.24) again I made it 12 to keep it simple. So now I had 60 grams left so I did 40% henna which was 24 and 60%indigo which was 36. I’m not sure if this the right way to do it but that’s how I usually do it.
The best is to oil your hair after washing the application. That would help the hair to get stuck to the colour, atleast for a few days. Keep your hair oiled for a day and then shampoo it. As oiling can also condition your hair.
Hi, thank you for your very helpful henna coloring videos! I'm curious if you find any noticeable differences between the one step or two step process? I have been trying the one step process and find that the color doesn't last too long on my grays. I love the idea of saving a lot of hours with the one step process but wonder if the 2 step process might last longer on my grays. Thanks!
I appreciate your video. I have used henna and indigo about 5 times, but I always apply the henna and indigo separately. My hair is normally light brown mostly grey. I don't want my hair too dark. How long would you suggest I keep it on my hair. I usually leave it on for about 20 minutes.
I heard you talk about not adding any acids to the henna because indigo doesn't like it. Does adding acid in the henna while it is dye releasing actually inhibit the indigo from working when we add it later and mix the two together? It seems like all the henna sites tell us to add acid while dye releasing and don't say it inhibits the indigo from working.
Hello, Andrea, you can definitely add little bit of acid to your henna to release it’s dye and that should be fine. Just make sure when you mix the indigo later on to use only warm water and let it set 10 minutes at least for dye release then mix it with you henna. I’m just new to indigo and I’m always trying to be extra careful but more than one source said that it should be fine. I haven’t tried it yet myself to be honest but if you do please let me how it went.
Hi Rose Is this receipe only for gray touch up or we can color the whole entire hair to make it dark burgundy color? Also you had Hanna sits for 12 hours then you add indigo on it? After you add indigo to the henna did you let it sit for 10 minutes or you apply it to your hair right a way? For this receipe how much amla can we use? Can we use this amount of ingredient for hair little bit under the shoulder or less if less how less? What brand of Henna and indigo do you use? Thank you
@RoseBaby Does the henna mixture stain your skin around your hairline? I couldn’t tell bc of the way your hair falls. I like to wear my hair back, so I would have a hard time hiding a stain on my forehead. How do you avoid staining your skin?
Really amazing video.. I also color hair with indigo and henna but do you oil your hair before washing and do you have children too but you look too pretty
I followed your steps and it did not work. To cover the tough grey hair mixing henna ad indigo will not work. Henna should be applied first followed by indigo
I’m very sorry to hear that. Some stubborn gray hair needs a second application so, right now you can follow it up with just indigo paste because your hair already has some henna in it, you don’t need to do henna again so just do an indigo paste and apply it to your hair. Hopefully that will work.

Very helpful 👌
I'm going to try this. I usually do a two step process but I'll try this for my roots

You should try 75% Indigo and 25% Henna. I think that will work perfect for you.
Do you use it at once? And how many days does it stay with yu
@@najibikram9950 I do a 2-step process. 1st step is 75% Indigo and 25% Henna. 2nd step is only Indigo. I get a dark brown color using these two steps.
Thank u habibti i gave henna in my hair right now and i will try not to shampoo or condition it till tomorrow
Your hair color came out great

Great information, will this work on a beard 🧔♂️ ?
Yes, absolutely.
your hair so amazing thanks for sharing
You’re very sweet! Thank YOU for watching! 🫶🏻
Thank you for this well informed video an the tips made all the difference 👍 😊
I thought henna and indigo dont work well together, so I always do them separately. I'll try doing it together next time. Thank you.
Did u try . Did it work ? I think it depends on hair porosity too . I have very few grays so prefer to cover it with color stick
How you manage your frizzy hair...do you straighten them? Cos my hair became so Dry and frizzy after henna
I will do my roots like this but How often would you do the length of your hair for a touchup
Very well explained 👏🏻thanks ur voice is good 😊

Are you speaking Arabic your accent familiar to me.
Hi Marwa, very good guess! I do speak Arabic and English is my second language.
Can we add aloe Vera jel from the plant?
Yes, you can do that.
Very helpful thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Hi Rose
Is this receipe only for gray touch up or we can color the whole entire hair to make it dark burgundy color?
Also you had Hanna sits for 12 hours then you add indigo on it?
After you add indigo to the henna did you let it sit for 10 minutes or you apply it to your hair right a way?

Can we use this amount of ingredient for hair little bit under the shoulder or less if less how less?
What brand of Henna and indigo do you use?
Thank you
Did you ever get a reply elsewhere?
Did you mix the henna and indigo together??
Indigo powder and henna powder of any company will work in 1 step process, I did 2 step process and it gave good result plzz reply for 1 step process
@RoseBaby Does the henna mixture stain your skin around your hairline? I couldn’t tell bc of the way your hair falls. I like to wear my hair back, so I would have a hard time hiding a stain on my forehead. How do you avoid staining your skin?
Apply vaseline on your hairline and once you apply the henna on your hair you can easily wipe it off of your forehead and around the hairline
Use Vaseline on the skin . It won’t take up the dye if use don the hairline
I used to think indigo henna too, isn't that so, what are its ingredients, then, and the difference between it and henna?
can you use Aloe vera plant or does it have to be powder Aloe Vera?
Sure, you can use the fresh Aloe Vera gel that would also work.
I mix my henna with tea & coffee so can I add indigo is that ok
For how long we should put henna on our hair how much time
I usually like to leave it on my hair for 3 to 4 hours.
Is henna and indigo of same quantity?
Woww great mam 🙏🙏🙏
The fierest one
Why do some henna products say it's ready to apply in 2-4 hours?
Nice video.
Can I use plain water than distill water.
You can store rain water too. Try to collect it after it has rained for a while
Really amazing video.. I also color hair with indigo and henna but do you oil your hair before washing and do you have children too but you look too pretty
I put oil on my hair after a week, like the second or third wash. You’re sweet!I have a 9 year old boy 👦
@@RoseBaby thanks dear..♥️ but you don’t look like a mother of 9 year old..so young ♥️❤️😘gauri
Thank you for this
Fantastic share 💕💕💕
Thank YOU for watching!! ❤️❤️
Plzz tell me the measurement with table spoon, I don't understand with gram.
I love that shirt
Thank you! 🤗
Indigo is very expensive, when I use more it is getting over , and when I use less it is coming as dark red color instead of black
Oil the hair next day in order to luck the Color into your hair
How often do you do root touch ups ? How often fulll hair?
I got rid of a microwaved water red mark on my upper chest with aloe vera .
For how long you kept the indigo??
Indigo has a very fast dye release so I only let it set for 10 minutes.
So bonita 😍
Hi where did you put the hibiscus, henna, and indigo?
Henna
Where can I buy indigo
I usually get it from Amazon.
Nice voice
How long hanna and indigo hair lost
If you listen to Henna experts here on RUclips leaving the henna overnight for the dye release is really not necessary
I don’t wait that long my dye release. I don’t leave on that long either it tends to break my hair. So 1 hour to half hour . 2 at most
Can you share who the henna experts if you don’t mind? It’s hard to know who REAL experts are nowadays on anything. Thanks.
@@nathaliegibson1032 see Henna Sooq!
Does henna dry out your hair?
Adding aloe vera powder to the mix really helps with the dryness. You can also add cassia powder, it also adds some moisture effects.
At what age is it normal to have grrey hair?
Grey can happen at any time, even in teenagers.
I followed your steps and it did not work. To cover the tough grey hair mixing henna ad indigo will not work. Henna should be applied first followed by indigo
I’m very sorry to hear that. Some stubborn gray hair needs a second application so, right now you can follow it up with just indigo paste because your hair already has some henna in it, you don’t need to do henna again so just do an indigo paste and apply it to your hair. Hopefully that will work.
Did you try to just apply Indigo like she said, if so did it work?
gorgy
💐💐💐💐💐💙
Where is the indigo you said !?
Hello
You said you been trying it for years and you still haven’t perfected it , what 😮
Ur hair is red not black
Nice video but she repeat same thing again n again
Good but very long vidio.
How long it stays before next retouch?
