I put henna over my chemically died hair and it made it so much healthier than before! About 6 months after using henna, I put blonde highlights over the henna just to see how it would react and what it would look like. And you're so right!! Chemicals ain't got nothing on henna lol it didn't change the color, probably made it a little more orangey (which I love anyways lol). But henna is in my hair to stay, I love it so much
My hair is red too, what color was the henna?Did it work with your hair color? How often did you use? Did you use before or after washing with shampoo? I saw some henna here at a local middle eastern store and was really scared to try it?
I have been combining henna and chemical dyes forever! I have light brown hair and i like it to be a bit lighter copper/strawberry blonde shade, so i dye my roots with chemical hair dye. I was also bleaching it in the past and putting henna over it, works great. Hanna can only help your damaged hair and give it moisture and protection. Only be careful to always use pure henna and not the pre-prepped mixtures that have metals and who knows what. Anyway, i do my henna mix (henna, amla, cassia and shikakai) to even out my color and to refresh it and give it shine. The best with henna is that my hair is not damaged and since i have learned to manipulate it, i'm not stuck with the same shade that is getting deeper. I love it! My hair has the most beautiful shade, it looks so natural and shinny!
@@Ana-em9rx i don’t have any white at the root. The mix doesn’t really cover everything in the same color, i look like i have some highlights from the sun.
@@carolinalopez8862 hi :) I put my henna right after I bleached my hair. It’s basically a herb, like putting a tea bag on it. It will only stain your hair, can’t damage it. Just make sure you use pure quality 100% (Lawsonia inermis). Don’t use pre-mixed henna or henna that sells under different colors like burgundy henna etc. Pure henna can only be orange, how deep it’s gonna be depends on what your hair color currently is.
I did a small Henan infused with olive oil and cloves and Rosemary and let me share. After 1 use I noticed a huge difference in the best way. # 1 my cuticles were smoother. Like the ph was balanced in my hair. I am relaxed .thx 4 the share
Very cool! Would love to see you discuss henna on chemically relaxed or permed hair and what the outcomes are. A great topic + discussion to add to your list :)
My dream is also to get the word out how henna and natural products are so awesome for your hair and body! I have been using henna and cassia for almost 40 years. I started using "hennalucent" in sunset color in the early eighties... Egyptian Henna powder and finally now I use Light Mountain. I would love to try your products. I have searched high and low for any salon who would help with the application and then I could go home and remove it after a few hours myself, I haven't found one yet in Southern California. The hair stylists that cut my hair are always surprised when I let them know I use henna. They say " but your hair isn't orange!".....Thank you!
I gave up on maintaining blonde and Olaplex, so I went back to Henna and my hair is still long and strong and loving the drink. As long as I don't change my mind again. My mum was a hairdresser even she just wouldn't even let me put it down the kitchen sink. I'm like chill, it's just a plant. That irrational panic and lack of understanding.
Thank you for this! I have been debating the switch, I cut and color at home already. I’ll still do a patch test of course, but thank you for putting this info out and being open about more natural hair care! ❤
It only melts your hair and makes the crazy stuff happen when you use lightener/bleach OVER the henna. You need to let it fade first and maybe grow out. But henna over light color or bleach is great.

Ive done it before and ive got a master colorist certification from Pravana. So yep. It works

Definitely not a hair expert but i'm not sure how possible this would be unless the hait had been lifted to white or near white, since Indigo gives a kind of green hue when used over a natural blonde color, and raw henna itself is essentially orange.

What about coloring with henna over semi permanent dye. Black on black. I’m not trying to do anything drastic. Can I do a full henna with partial indigo treatment and continue on doing henna after that. I just did the semi permanent because it covers so well the gray. Can I now switch to henna and if so, do I have to wait to start it? Thank you for your help.
Yes. I’ve switched between henna and semi permanent color many times. I tend to use semi permanent color when I need to cover greys and don’t have time for henna.
What about trying to bleach hair AFTER henna? I tried to bleach my hair for a balayage after henna and was told to wait 1-2 years for the henna to get out my hair before bleaching. Is this true?

Hi ! I do keratin treatments on my hair - they have helped soo much my hair’s condition- and I would like to henna my hair now .. Which one should I do first ? The henna or the keratin or it doesn’t matter? My hair stylist said she will not touch my hair if I color it with henna
Do you know anyone in metro Detroit I could go to for henna dye? 😢pls answer asap. I don’t trust myself to know how to do this. I have balayage hair and it’s thin and brittle and I want to repair and thicken my hair
Hello. We don't have anyone in Detroit but we will be having salon services in Columbia, Maryland this coming September. You better watch out for that!
My natural hair is dark blonde with golden strawberry hightlights. I colored it with herbal dye 2 shades up but it got very organe red. I will color my har back to dark ash blonde to get the red out. Over time my hair starts to get brassy again. Can I use a dark ash blonde henna color to tone it when I need it and only use the herbal hair die for my roots that have a little grey?
I am debating if I should apply some lightbrown henna to my previously dyed and bleached hair, I'm trying to grow my dark brown hair out and am at 2 inches roots, but I only want something light so it don't chance my regrowth color
I have light blonde hair from dying with chemicals and want to darken my hair to a brown hue. Can I achieve this by gradually going a shade darker each time I henna?
Hello Hennasooq, I used Brazilian blow out on my hair several time, the last one I did was about 6 months ago! Now I've decided not to use any chemical hair color or Brazilian blow out! can I still use a brown color henna on my hair as I like to use natural hair color. Thanks
I used Henna to dye my elderly mom's hair because her hair is very sparse and it almost looks like she is bald. So I stopped using box dyes on her and used Henna. Much more affordable. I just ordered an Exothermic Perm kit for her because curly hair will be much easier to control and have a less bald look. But the box says not to use on Henna dyed hair. Is this an issue?
hi there! ♡ i really hope you see this~ my hair is currently dyed with henna, am i able to bleach over the henna? i may have just completely spaced if you answered this, but for me again, i’m not using henna over bleach hair, rather i’m wanting to use bleach over the henna. i hope that makes sense? am i able to do this without my hair ‘melting’ off? thank you so much in advance! ♡♡
No, none of this makes sense. Go for it. I had used henna for more than a decade, but wanted a change, so causally went for a bleach and a different hair colour. My hair didn't react strangely or melt away like people say it would 😅
I have complete grey hair. I dye my hair black, currently with box dye. I've used henna and indigo for many years I know the process well. However I want to dye my hair a lighter shade of brown with henna. What can I do to lighten my dyed black hair to match my roots which will end up with the lighter brown color?
Hello. We’re sorry we don’t offer a light brown tone as it’s not possible with henna since it dyes reddish tones and even with indigo it makes more of a reddish brown to medium brown and darker etc… There may be other options found in this really good book called Natural Hair Coloring by Christine Shahin. www.amazon.com/shop/hennasooq
Hi, I love you content about henna. I wonder if you can tell me what would be the best henna color to cover my grays. I usually use color number 7, because I have blonde gold highlights
Hello. All of our henna hair dye products cover grey. What you purchase depends on what hair color you want. Have you decided which tone you’d like to achieve?
I used henna for years, thought i would try a black shampoo ,haven't got it here with me , after about 2weeks i realise my hair is breaking ,i want to go back to the henna but I'm very nervous about it .
Hi! So i want to ask clear things out. I have henna-ed my hair for about 3 months ago. But now, I want to dye my hair. It means that i want to dye my hair over henna. Will that cause any chemical reaction or is it safe to do so?
Hello. Our products are safe with chemical dyes and treatments so you wouldn’t have to wait but 1-2 weeks after as long as the hair feels back to normal after the coloring and not feeling dry. You can go back to dyes but if you decides to go lighter it’ll be very difficult to remove henna and/or indigo.
Hi, I have a question. Three day ago a salon stylist over processed my hair with lifting the black henna dye out my hair through the oxidation process and then put dye color in. It looks ginger or like a reddish strawberry color. I actually don’t like it at all. It’s not what i like at all. I really want to switch back to a black or natural black henna. Can I do that and will it work and go back to being black?
Hello! Yes, you may do so. We recommend these products to start with: hennasooq.com/collections/black-henna-hair-dye. We have a complete guide that you can follow here 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/.

Long shot for a reply on a year old video but.... I used henna but struggled to keep going due to cost of henna and also how messy it was. But. I miss it so much. I got black roots, to dark red then lighter red on the ends (bleached) so question is, should I henna over my whole hair and risk my ombre, or just henna my ends with rouge...I may walk into Lush and see what the staff thinks. Thanks
Hi I put a box dye dark and lovely on my virgin hair and I really dislike the color. How long do I need to wait before doing an henna hair dye treatment?
Hello. Our products are safe with chemical dyes and treatments so you wouldn’t have to wait but 1-2 weeks after as long as the hair feels back to normal after the coloring and not feeling dry.
Hi Hennasooq, does henna cause split ends? I recently began using henna. I do a henna mask every 4--6 weeks. My ends are so split, and the more I trim, the more spit ends I get. I'm thinking that it's the henna causing it because I did not use any new products
Are you moisturizing your hair really well? Do you use aloe? Sometimes hair doesn't agree with aloe vera. If you can, put vegetable glycerin in your henna mix to help condition it.
Hi! Definitely watch our last Ask Henna Sooq! We talk about Henna and hair damage, along with how to prevent it! ruclips.net/video/qTG2K8w-NgE/видео.html
Okay here my story goes i had a natural hair then i colored my hair not from the roots only the endings after 3 years i put henna on my hair after 2 years again I did ombre to my hair not all if it again , so my hair is disaster😂I can’t combed it’s so dry and burned what i want now to put henna again will it be disaster to my hair if i put henna on it ?
Because henna seals the hair shaft and olaplex is supposed to penetrate the hair shaft to repair the bonds in the shaft, I suggest that you use olaplex first. I use them both and I use olaplex when I haven't used henna in a while but i pause olaplex when my hair is freshly hennad.
Actually that's not true.. I commented on olaplex and they responded that it can be used on all hair.. Henna bonds with the keratin in your hair ...olaplex repairs the bonds
Hi there. I have level 5.5 hair and have about 30% white hair sorinkled on the forehead hairline and my crown. I do chemically colour my hair reddish brown/mahogany for years now (no ammonia though). I do want to switch to henna, as I want to completely get rid of the chemicals and I know I can get a similar colour with henna, to what I chemically dye my hair with. My question is: how will the transition go? If I start using henna will there be a demarcation line? I mean, will my regrowth look different to the lengtgs? Can I do anything to minimise this? Also, will my white hair have a different colour to the rest of my dark hair? Thank you so much x
Hello. For color change to chemicals you should seek out a professional colorist who can assess your hair and help you manage it. There may be two tones. It’s hard to say without seeing your hair and knowing your hair directly.
Yes I did on my hair, I did keratine straightening One month before trying henna for the first time. Like three months ago and my hair has never been happier with me.
My hair is so dry n frizzy due to henna I used in grey hair..also it affect my curly hair...my wavy n curly is frizzy now..it destroy my wavy hair ...what to do plz tell me
Hi! I definitely recommend watching our last Ask Henna Sooq, we talk about henna and dryness/breakage and how to prevent it. ruclips.net/video/qTG2K8w-NgE/видео.html We also have a video coming up on how henna affects curls and what to do about it!
I stumbled over your videos and I am so glad and thankful you put all the time and effort into making these videos. I wanna go back to my natural hair journey. My hair is bleach blonde right now (almost white) and I am sick of it. I wanna go back to natural hair dyes (I used Henna in the past and I loved it) and let my hair just do it's thing. I want to go for a red, but knowing it is white blonde it will get bright orange which I don't want, so I learned I could mix it up with Cassia and take out the orange tones. I want to get a rich a bit darker red. If anyone of you has some advice let me know.

Hi, i got my hair coloured global with blonde highlights. Now i want to switch over to Heena to cover my grey hair. Can I apply Heena over chemically coloured hair??? Will it make my hair more dry??
I have an allergy making it u likely for me to ever use wild colors in my hair ever again. Problem is my bangs are dyed and faded to an awful color. I was thinking of doing a henna dye but my desire is for it to be charcoal grey. Is it possible to somehow make black henna lighter like a dark grey?
When I google that question it said it was ok as long as I use 100% hanna with no added chemicals as it could react with the ones in the chemical dyes. But you said it was ok Mmm... Not sure what to do now 🤔
I want color but don’t want to loose my curl pattern like henna does over time I tried Hibiscus 🌺 powder but the color didn’t stay so can you tell me how to use it and thanks
Hi, I’ve dyed my hair 5 months ago with black henna from roots to ends, and now I’ve tried dying my whole head red with chemical hair dye and only my roots have turned red, not my ends. They are still black and cannot go red at all.. I am now thinking will dying my ends with red henna right now be safe after using chemical dye? Or should I just go to the salon for them to remove the dye completely and start over with this process ?
Hello! Our henna and all of our products are without metallic salts, or additives and are tested against heavy metals so it's safe to use after using chemical hair dye.
Like. Love. Yes. Please. I went to cosmetology school but love natural hair care for myself and want to find ways to put that into my practice to offer more to people!
Hi @HennaSooq do any of your videos talk about using chemical dye or something like a frost and glow kit AFTER using henna? I applied a red/burgundy henna to my hair about a year ago during quarantine and now want to switch it up for something lighter? I read to wait a year if you’ve used henna but not sure if it is safe as I haven’t cut off any of the previously henna-treated hair. What should I do? 😬
Hello. I don't have a video sorry as I don't do chemical treatments myself. I only cover chemical due jobs usually that someone else has done. You can do a strand test to be sure first.
@@HennaSooq Okay I see, thank you for your reply! What can I expect when I do a strand test? I keep hearing crazy stories about hair potentially going into flames LOL (for a little more clarification I used boxed Vatika Henna, so exercising a little more caution as I am not sure whether this is pure henna or not)
@@kylaparis7360 Usually it's honestly not something like that. Just a small patch test and see how it turns out or if you're nervous, use hair from your brush as well.
@kylaparis7360 I used to use henna and then got chemical colour on my hair. It didn't change anything. The stylist, did a patch test to see if the hair bleached normally, which it did, so she went about with the highlighting and dyeing.
Hello. With our henna hair dye products, you may do so but it’ll be quite hard to remove. If there is indigo in your henna, it may leave a green tint. We hope this helps!
Hi, I'm from Bangladesh. I have gray hair issues and use chemical-based hair colors to cover them. But now I wanna switch to henna. Is that cover the gray hair?

Does henna have to dye your hair? i already dyed my hair a colour I like but wanted to use henna for more growth and such but I don't want it to change my current hair colour. is there plain henna that doesn't dye hair?
U can use cassia! It's a different plant than henna but is refferd to as "colorless henna". It has the healing abilities that henna does but doesn't deposit color!
How can I create a golden brown henna color with natural highlights Lightbrown Can lemon juice lighten henna treated hair? I want to try henna I’m afraid that with every application it just gets darker and darker does that happen how to avoid it ?
I am truuuuuly confused because this is the exact opposite of what happened to me... my hair came out very damaged and i am trying to figure out how to bring it back without having to literally cut it all off.
what happened? I am here bcz my hair is extremely damaged after chemical dye, and I want to know if i can use heena a week later . also i relaxed my hair hence the reason my hair could have damaged strands are so brittle , esp where the dye iver processed
Hi, I found your channel, I wish I had this info back when I was a 13 yr old using henna! I am 25 and looking to go back to my vibrant red. I have used permanent dye before (dark brown over medium brown natural hair), should I try fading it before using henna to achieve a brighter colour? Also I am curious, I like using demi permanent clear glosses (ammonia free) would this be safe to use over hair that has been treated with henna? Thank you!
Hey! You've mentioned permanent dye in your comment how is it different from temporary dye? It would be very kind of you if you could explain. Because for maintaining any kind of hair colours it is said not to wash your hair more than twice a week. I have very little to no knowledge about hair dyes hence I'm asking.
This is not a myth in my expeirence. I tried a two-step henna + indigo on my black mother's relaxed hair several years ago (she also had remnants of box dye on her hair) and not only would it not cover the grey (the paste would not stay put to cover the grey strands like the rest of her non-grey hair) but afterwards, my mother experienced massive hair breakage. She wasn't happy about it because I'm the one who convinced her to try henna in the first place, not knowing the risk on processed hair :(. I had used Henna Sooq powders at the time.
It can really fortify the hair. If you strengthen the hair to much, it breaks. It's why people should start with a gloss. Put the henna in a conditioner and start there. Even after a hardcore henna treatment, you should always deep condition
Hmm 🤔 I want to sally beauty supply to buy some but they kinda scared me off it. I feel like they were pressuring me to buy a more expensive product. So I left lol
Hi Khadija, I know I'm off topic but can you talk about how to incorporate chebe along with henna? How often, can they be used together in the same treatment...tks ❤

I've really been debating on dying my hair black with chemicals now, the indigo has not been lasting as long as I've wanted it to or making it a true black color the way I want... but I still want to continue to use my henna!! What do you suggest I do?😭
hiya. just bumped into your video looking for ways to treat my damaged bleached hair. my hair just turned gray after bleaching. its like the color or my grandma's hair 😢. any idea on how soon can i use the hena to cover the grey hair? really really appreciate it..
My hair is chemically treated with medium golden brown. My roots are brown but now also have much gray. Can I use henna with a coppery tint to evenly cover my roots as well as add that copper tint to the dyed portion of my hair?
You better not color with peroxide or amonia after using henna, unless you want green vomit colored hair. When I was in cosmetology school I witnessed this occur and the instructor reminded the student we are to ask if they have henna in their hair before applying chemicals. I don't recall how they fixed her hair.
I have dark brown hair and hsve dyed my bang both purple and blue 50/50 and want to dye my hair with henna, black indigo and red on the one side of my bang. Will it get red over the old bleached hair or green? And what color of green? I dont mind green 🤔 but im scared how do you know the henna dont have fake ingrediants that will make your hair go on fire?
I had put henna on my grey hair for 9 years every month .n now it damage my hair so badly ...weightless...frizzy and dry ...I don't what to use now ...color is also bad .....henna ruins hair after long run ..at 1st it makes hair strong n healthy ...after many years it damage 💔 😢
The way you use the word "chemicals" is absurd. Henna is a chemical. Water is a chemical. What you MEAN is "artificial hair dye". This wording is so bad.
My son is a chemist and he always says the same thing, they are so picky lol. However what he says is true, with artificial hair dyes what they mean is ARTIFICIAL chemicals or synthetic chemicals.
I put henna over my chemically died hair and it made it so much healthier than before! About 6 months after using henna, I put blonde highlights over the henna just to see how it would react and what it would look like. And you're so right!! Chemicals ain't got nothing on henna lol it didn't change the color, probably made it a little more orangey (which I love anyways lol). But henna is in my hair to stay, I love it so much
same! i bleached it and then put henna it looked so much healthier. i have been using henna ever since, like 4 months now
I usually use black box day to color my hair. I want to use henna to strengthen my hair. Will it lighten my hair color or damage my hair at all?
My hair is red too, what color was the henna?Did it work with your hair color? How often did you use? Did you use before or after washing with shampoo?

Hello. We don't have anyone in Detroit but we will be having salon services in Columbia, Maryland this coming September. You better watch out for that!
What about cassia on grey hair? Will that have an effect?
Hi...
Henna and what should be mixed together to get a nice silky lasting color??
Thank.yoj
My natural hair is dark blonde with golden strawberry hightlights. I colored it with herbal dye 2 shades up but it got very organe red. I will color my har back to dark ash blonde to get the red out. Over time my hair starts to get brassy again. Can I use a dark ash blonde henna color to tone it when I need it and only use the herbal hair die for my roots that have a little grey?
I am debating if I should apply some lightbrown henna to my previously dyed and bleached hair, I'm trying to grow my dark brown hair out and am at 2 inches roots, but I only want something light so it don't chance my regrowth color
What did you end up doing? I’m on the same boat
can i use henna on my colored hair and roots ? will my hair colour differ from roots to ends ?
Yes, you can. If the roots are darker than the ends, henna will leave a darker colour at the roots, nothing strangely odd
I have light blonde hair from dying with chemicals and want to darken my hair to a brown hue. Can I achieve this by gradually going a shade darker each time I henna?
Hello! Yes, you can achieve this tone with several applications.
Hello Hennasooq, I used Brazilian blow out on my hair several time, the last one I did was about 6 months ago! Now I've decided not to use any chemical hair color or Brazilian blow out! can I still use a brown color henna on my hair as I like to use natural hair color. Thanks
Hello! Yes, you may do so.
@@HennaSooq Thank you
I bleached over henna. It just lifts very orange 😂
Like stated, it's only an issue if its fake henna with weird metallic salts.
How do you know if its fake??
I used Henna to dye my elderly mom's hair because her hair is very sparse and it almost looks like she is bald. So I stopped using box dyes on her and used Henna. Much more affordable. I just ordered an Exothermic Perm kit for her because curly hair will be much easier to control and have a less bald look. But the box says not to use on Henna dyed hair. Is this an issue?
hi there! ♡
i really hope you see this~
my hair is currently dyed with henna, am i able to bleach over the henna? i may have just completely spaced if you answered this, but for me again, i’m not using henna over bleach hair, rather i’m wanting to use bleach over the henna. i hope that makes sense?
am i able to do this without my hair ‘melting’ off?
thank you so much in advance! ♡♡
No your hair will melt off
U can but it is going to be really hard to remove
No, none of this makes sense. Go for it. I had used henna for more than a decade, but wanted a change, so causally went for a bleach and a different hair colour. My hair didn't react strangely or melt away like people say it would 😅
Hi khadija, I use henna and indigo to cover my white hair, can I use olaplex and protein treatment also?
I have complete grey hair. I dye my hair black, currently with box dye. I've used henna and indigo for many years I know the process well. However I want to dye my hair a lighter shade of brown with henna. What can I do to lighten my dyed black hair to match my roots which will end up with the lighter brown color?
Hello. We’re sorry we don’t offer a light brown tone as it’s not possible with henna since it dyes reddish tones and even with indigo it makes more of a reddish brown to medium brown and darker etc… There may be other options found in this really good book called Natural Hair Coloring by Christine Shahin. www.amazon.com/shop/hennasooq
Rainbow brand henna has a light brown shade.
Hi, I love you content about henna. I wonder if you can tell me what would be the best henna color to cover my grays. I usually use color number 7, because I have blonde gold highlights
Hello. All of our henna hair dye products cover grey. What you purchase depends on what hair color you want. Have you decided which tone you’d like to achieve?
I used henna for years, thought i would try a black shampoo ,haven't got it here with me , after about 2weeks i realise my hair is breaking ,i want to go back to the henna but I'm very nervous about it .
Take a leap of faith again. We recommend our products since they are safe and all natural: hennasooq.com/collections/henna-hair-dye
Hi! So i want to ask clear things out. I have henna-ed my hair for about 3 months ago. But now, I want to dye my hair. It means that i want to dye my hair over henna. Will that cause any chemical reaction or is it safe to do so?
And i do not choose to bleach it, just to dye without bleach.
You can only bleach out henna, otherwise the red will always come through
Hello. Our products are safe with chemical dyes and treatments so you wouldn’t have to wait but 1-2 weeks after as long as the hair feels back to normal after the coloring and not feeling dry. You can go back to dyes but if you decides to go lighter it’ll be very difficult to remove henna and/or indigo.
Hi, I have a question. Three day ago a salon stylist over processed my hair with lifting the black henna dye out my hair through the oxidation process and then put dye color in. It looks ginger or like a reddish strawberry color. I actually don’t like it at all. It’s not what i like at all. I really want to switch back to a black or natural black henna. Can I do that and will it work and go back to being black?
Hello! Yes, you may do so. We recommend these products to start with: hennasooq.com/collections/black-henna-hair-dye. We have a complete guide that you can follow here 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/.

Long shot for a reply on a year old video but....
I used henna but struggled to keep going due to cost of henna and also how messy it was. But. I miss it so much. I got black roots, to dark red then lighter red on the ends (bleached) so question is, should I henna over my whole hair and risk my ombre, or just henna my ends with rouge...I may walk into Lush and see what the staff thinks. Thanks
Hi I put a box dye dark and lovely on my virgin hair and I really dislike the color. How long do I need to wait before doing an henna hair dye treatment?
I’m looking for this too. I read from different places you should wait 6-8 weeks before putting henna over chemical dyed hair.
Hello. Our products are safe with chemical dyes and treatments so you wouldn’t have to wait but 1-2 weeks after as long as the hair feels back to normal after the coloring and not feeling dry.
I have dark purple hair, can I apply black henna on top? Thank you ❤
Hello. With our products, it is safe to do so.
Hi Hennasooq, does henna cause split ends? I recently began using henna. I do a henna mask every 4--6 weeks. My ends are so split, and the more I trim, the more spit ends I get. I'm thinking that it's the henna causing it because I did not use any new products
Are you moisturizing your hair really well? Do you use aloe? Sometimes hair doesn't agree with aloe vera. If you can, put vegetable glycerin in your henna mix to help condition it.
@@NerdyMaiden thank you so much. I will try the glycerin
Hi! Definitely watch our last Ask Henna Sooq! We talk about Henna and hair damage, along with how to prevent it! ruclips.net/video/qTG2K8w-NgE/видео.html

Can you colour brown over cassia on blonde hair?
Hello. Yes, you may do so.
Can I put henna on eye brows? If so how to get dark stain as I have black eye brows?? Please reply 🌷
Yes you can do so and just avoid getting it into your eyes. Apply the same way you would on hair.
Thank you ☺️
Okay here my story goes i had a natural hair then i colored my hair not from the roots only the endings after 3 years i put henna on my hair after 2 years again I did ombre to my hair not all if it again , so my hair is disaster😂I can’t combed it’s so dry and burned what i want now to put henna again will it be disaster to my hair if i put henna on it ?
Wondering how Henna will work with Olaplex 3 as it’s really great in my hair but wanting to cover my greys.
Because henna seals the hair shaft and olaplex is supposed to penetrate the hair shaft to repair the bonds in the shaft, I suggest that you use olaplex first. I use them both and I use olaplex when I haven't used henna in a while but i pause olaplex when my hair is freshly hennad.
@@NerdyMaiden thanks!
Actually that's not true.. I commented on olaplex and they responded that it can be used on all hair.. Henna bonds with the keratin in your hair ...olaplex repairs the bonds
Hi there. I have level 5.5 hair and have about 30% white hair sorinkled on the forehead hairline and my crown. I do chemically colour my hair reddish brown/mahogany for years now (no ammonia though). I do want to switch to henna, as I want to completely get rid of the chemicals and I know I can get a similar colour with henna, to what I chemically dye my hair with. My question is: how will the transition go? If I start using henna will there be a demarcation line? I mean, will my regrowth look different to the lengtgs? Can I do anything to minimise this? Also, will my white hair have a different colour to the rest of my dark hair? Thank you so much x
Hello. For color change to chemicals you should seek out a professional colorist who can assess your hair and help you manage it. There may be two tones. It’s hard to say without seeing your hair and knowing your hair directly.
Hey, in my country we have senna dried leaves and it is used as laxatives ,is it the same as the senna powder you use for hair or not.??
Hi
Henna is different from senna.
Can use henna on protein/keratine treated hair ?
Yes I did on my hair, I did keratine straightening One month before trying henna for the first time. Like three months ago and my hair has never been happier with me.
can i put henna on brasilian keratin straightening traitement?

My hair is so dry n frizzy due to henna I used in grey hair..also it affect my curly hair...my wavy n curly is frizzy now..it destroy my wavy hair ...what to do plz tell me
Do a deep conditioner. A very deep conditioner will help restore the life of your hair.
Hi! I definitely recommend watching our last Ask Henna Sooq, we talk about henna and dryness/breakage and how to prevent it. ruclips.net/video/qTG2K8w-NgE/видео.html We also have a video coming up on how henna affects curls and what to do about it!
I stumbled over your videos and I am so glad and thankful you put all the time and effort into making these videos. I wanna go back to my natural hair journey. My hair is bleach blonde right now (almost white) and I am sick of it. I wanna go back to natural hair dyes (I used Henna in the past and I loved it) and let my hair just do it's thing. I want to go for a red, but knowing it is white blonde it will get bright orange which I don't want, so I learned I could mix it up with Cassia and take out the orange tones. I want to get a rich a bit darker red. If anyone of you has some advice let me know.

Hi, i got my hair coloured global with blonde highlights. Now i want to switch over to Heena to cover my grey hair. Can I apply Heena over chemically coloured hair??? Will it make my hair more dry??
I also face the same problem, did you try it?
I have an allergy making it u likely for me to ever use wild colors in my hair ever again. Problem is my bangs are dyed and faded to an awful color. I was thinking of doing a henna dye but my desire is for it to be charcoal grey. Is it possible to somehow make black henna lighter like a dark grey?
maybe cassia indigo mix?
When I google that question it said it was ok as long as I use 100% hanna with no added chemicals as it could react with the ones in the chemical dyes. But you said it was ok
Mmm... Not sure what to do now 🤔
I want color but don’t want to loose my curl pattern like henna does over time I tried Hibiscus 🌺 powder but the color didn’t stay so can you tell me how to use it and thanks
Yes hibiscus isn't permanent. Henna is and you can use and add amla to your recipe to maintain curls or use zizyphus powder as well
@@HennaSooq Thank you 🙏🏽
Do Henna powders with sodium picramate damage the hair?
Hi, I’ve dyed my hair 5 months ago with black henna from roots to ends, and now I’ve tried dying my whole head red with chemical hair dye and only my roots have turned red, not my ends. They are still black and cannot go red at all.. I am now thinking will dying my ends with red henna right now be safe after using chemical dye? Or should I just go to the salon for them to remove the dye completely and start over with this process ?
Hello! Our henna and all of our products are without metallic salts, or additives and are tested against heavy metals so it's safe to use after using chemical hair dye.
Can i use henna 100% natural here in morocco on m'y hair ( over chemically straight with keratin ad protein chemical process)

Hi from Argentina. Does using Hamla will make dark my blonde bleached hair?
What about if you use chemicals over heena
bleach makes hennaed hair green so beware of that

Can you perm hair that has henna on it? Last time I had henna was last year.
Yes with our brand it's safe.
Hi @HennaSooq do any of your videos talk about using chemical dye or something like a frost and glow kit AFTER using henna? I applied a red/burgundy henna to my hair about a year ago during quarantine and now want to switch it up for something lighter? I read to wait a year if you’ve used henna but not sure if it is safe as I haven’t cut off any of the previously henna-treated hair. What should I do? 😬
Hello. I don't have a video sorry as I don't do chemical treatments myself. I only cover chemical due jobs usually that someone else has done. You can do a strand test to be sure first.
@@HennaSooq Okay I see, thank you for your reply! What can I expect when I do a strand test? I keep hearing crazy stories about hair potentially going into flames LOL (for a little more clarification I used boxed Vatika Henna, so exercising a little more caution as I am not sure whether this is pure henna or not)
@@kylaparis7360 Usually it's honestly not something like that. Just a small patch test and see how it turns out or if you're nervous, use hair from your brush as well.
So did you try? I want to chemically color my hair too
@kylaparis7360 I used to use henna and then got chemical colour on my hair. It didn't change anything. The stylist, did a patch test to see if the hair bleached normally, which it did, so she went about with the highlighting and dyeing.
Is it ok if i apply hair colour after applying henna?
Hello. Since our products are safe with all chemical dyes and treatments it will be safe to do so.
Can you bleach hair after using henna?
Hello. With our henna hair dye products, you may do so but it’ll be quite hard to remove. If there is indigo in your henna, it may leave a green tint. We hope this helps!

Does henna have to dye your hair? i already dyed my hair a colour I like but wanted to use henna for more growth and such but I don't want it to change my current hair colour. is there plain henna that doesn't dye hair?
U can use cassia! It's a different plant than henna but is refferd to as "colorless henna". It has the healing abilities that henna does but doesn't deposit color!

Hello sorry, we don’t have experience with lightening henna. You may have to wait for it to grow out. We don’t typically remove or lighten henna.
I am truuuuuly confused because this is the exact opposite of what happened to me... my hair came out very damaged and i am trying to figure out how to bring it back without having to literally cut it all off.
what happened? I am here bcz my hair is extremely damaged after chemical dye, and I want to know if i can use heena a week later . also i relaxed my hair hence the reason my hair could have damaged strands are so brittle , esp where the dye iver processed
Hi, I found your channel, I wish I had this info back when I was a 13 yr old using henna! I am 25 and looking to go back to my vibrant red. I have used permanent dye before (dark brown over medium brown natural hair), should I try fading it before using henna to achieve a brighter colour?
Also I am curious, I like using demi permanent clear glosses (ammonia free) would this be safe to use over hair that has been treated with henna?
Thank you!
Hey! You've mentioned permanent dye in your comment how is it different from temporary dye? It would be very kind of you if you could explain. Because for maintaining any kind of hair colours it is said not to wash your hair more than twice a week. I have very little to no knowledge about hair dyes hence I'm asking.
Hello. Since our products are safe with all chemical dyes and treatments it will be safe to do so.

Hello. Our products are safe with all chemical dyes and treatments it will be safe to do so.
This is not a myth in my expeirence. I tried a two-step henna + indigo on my black mother's relaxed hair several years ago (she also had remnants of box dye on her hair) and not only would it not cover the grey (the paste would not stay put to cover the grey strands like the rest of her non-grey hair) but afterwards, my mother experienced massive hair breakage. She wasn't happy about it because I'm the one who convinced her to try henna in the first place, not knowing the risk on processed hair :(. I had used Henna Sooq powders at the time.
It can really fortify the hair. If you strengthen the hair to much, it breaks. It's why people should start with a gloss. Put the henna in a conditioner and start there.
Even after a hardcore henna treatment, you should always deep condition
Hmm 🤔 I want to sally beauty supply to buy some but they kinda scared me off it. I feel like they were pressuring me to buy a more expensive product. So I left lol

My hair is chemically treated with medium golden brown. My roots are brown but now also have much gray. Can I use henna with a coppery tint to evenly cover my roots as well as add that copper tint to the dyed portion of my hair?
I would love to know this answer because I’m going through something similar
You better not color with peroxide or amonia after using henna, unless you want green vomit colored hair. When I was in cosmetology school I witnessed this occur and the instructor reminded the student we are to ask if they have henna in their hair before applying chemicals. I don't recall how they fixed her hair.
I have dark brown hair and hsve dyed my bang both purple and blue 50/50 and want to dye my hair with henna, black indigo and red on the one side of my bang. Will it get red over the old bleached hair or green? And what color of green? I dont mind green 🤔 but im scared how do you know the henna dont have fake ingrediants that will make your hair go on fire?
Thank you
Henna is so healthy untill hair dressers hates it 🤣
Noce
I had put henna on my grey hair for 9 years every month .n now it damage my hair so badly ...weightless...frizzy and dry ...I don't what to use now ...color is also bad .....henna ruins hair after long run ..at 1st it makes hair strong n healthy ...after many years it damage 💔 😢
The way you use the word "chemicals" is absurd. Henna is a chemical. Water is a chemical. What you MEAN is "artificial hair dye". This wording is so bad.
My son is a chemist and he always says the same thing, they are so picky lol. However what he says is true, with artificial hair dyes what they mean is ARTIFICIAL chemicals or synthetic chemicals.
thank you
