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!

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.

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 😊

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 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!

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

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!

I mix my henna with warm beet juice instead of water, and I get a beautiful deep copper /auburn red

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!

In Somalia we use left over black coffee, red tea and result are perfect

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’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!

[RVC]

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.

[caontiemcneal]

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 🙏🏾

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! 👍🏾🙏🏾

[gopony]

I use this method for root touch ups once a month but I only leave it on for 2 hrs. Still works great.

[sunflower]

I first use only henna to cover my hair for 3 hours. Then, after washing it off, I use indigo for another 3 hours. This gets me fantastic coverage and a black color of hair.

[JonPaul]

This one of the dopest channels ever. Much appreciated!!

[Luming-dirf]

Finally someone who knows what they're talking about. Thank you so much. All others make it sound too easy.

[fabricesery]

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 :-)
