Can henna dye my super dark brown almost black hair,brown or red ?

I apply oil to my ears, neck and hairline before applying the henna. It helps prevent staining 👍

I have been using henna for probably 4 or 5 years. I’m a natural red/auburn haired person. I was always called a redhead, but now I have white hairs which drives me nuts so I use henna. I actually put it on my damp hair and that works very well, because otherwise my hair is too dry since it’s coarse and wavy/curly. I don’t usually wait to put it on. I mix it with some coffee and filtered water, a couple tsp. apple cider vinegar with “the mother” and that’s it. I cover my hair with a plastic shopping bag to keep it moist and use an alligator clip to close it behind my head. I typically leave it in 2 hours, some times more but not longer than 3. I wash out with conditioner, then don’t wash again for 4 to 5 days. It will run slightly each time you wash it. If you have gray or white, it needs to be done once a month usually. Don’t make it runny. It should be thick but smooth, it may drip a bit, just wipe with a paper towel. I use natural red by the Henna Guys, but today I’m using auburn mixed with natural red which makes me nervous. My hair looks more red than hers, because it’s my natural color. Either way, people compliment it. If you have normally straight, non frizzy hair, it will stay like that. If you have my texture, you’ll still need products that fight frizz. It doesn’t take it away. I do feel like the products I use shorten the life of the henna, but I don’t want frizzy hair. If you use it for a while, you’ll get the hang of it. I forgot to mention that I use gloves and just slap some on each section and only do the roots. I’ve only ever done the whole head once. Use a comb with a tail to section hair. Don’t mix in metal bowls. Use glass and a spatula. That’s about all I can offer anyone from my own experience. Good luck!

Great video. I will say that henna doesn't HAVE to be an all day thing. I have been using henna for a decade. I make a year's worth of henna at a time and package and freeze it. Every third Friday when I leave for work I pop a frozen batch in the fridge to thaw. In the evening when I get home I shower and wash my hair. Apply henna to my roots, wrap in plastic. Then I have dinner and watch a movie. After two hours I rinse, condition and then brow dry. My hair grows so fast and I am so gray I have to do it every three weeks. So I have it down pat.

The most perfect video about henna .. Thank u .. U r awesome with every way.. But only one thing as an half arabian and we r so so used to henna as a traditional .. Just ii know that it will b so hard to let it dry on head on air instead u cover it up .. But actually this is the right original way to let it be uncovered .. Henna it doesn't work as hair dye about heating although the chemical hair dye happens with oxidation process need to be done on air too .. Just henna is still a grass .. Let it dry uncovered will stain stronger and deeper watery don't achive stable color in henna.. Exactly as the drawing on skin with henna if u just leave it dry on air will works and if it still wet on skin it won't stick and will fade for sure .. And don't b afraid how harder it will be .. But it will b washed anyway .. Just patient anyway the whole henna taking 4 to 5 days to be perfectly done .. Just make them more six .. Not big deal 😆👯

The hair need to be dry or it doesn’t matter ? Btw thank you for this video ☺️🙏

gonna try it. but Im a bit nervous

Interesting. I've been coloring my hair with henna for more that 10 years now and I've always done it on "dirty" hair. Plus, I've never wrapped it with anything.

I used this once years ago and never ever again. Yours is beautiful, I love it but mine came out a very weird rusty brassy color and I couldn't ever get rid of it, it took months so never ever again, I wish it wasn't like that because I love the idea that it's all natural and I don't think anything else is really natural, some may not be as bad as others but still not really natural. I would say that the next best thing to henna for being all natural is one called naturgin but I'm not totally sure even with that one.

If I've previously used other "chemical" hair dyes is there something I have to do to prep my hair before using Henna?

So I am a bit confused on what to follow, and what to avoid if I dont way too red results

Personally, I have found lemon creates a much brighter red. Heat activates the henna color. If you don't use heat, you might need to wear it many, many hours, but I've never tried it that way. I always use warm or hot water to get the color process started before applying.

Love your hair color here -- so vibrant and stunning, and really enjoyed this video! I have a question for you --- I have some leftover Lush Caca Noir & Brun. I loved the way they made my hair feel, but I am looking at some Henna Color Lab and also Light Mountain and wondering if I can mix a shade from one of these brands with my Lush dyes... in hopes of getting the conditioning benefit from the Lush Caca (lol) but also to get more of the color I am going for? I don't want to waste that Caca but don't want to go through the hassle as I didn't love the color they produced. My hair is medium-dark brown with some residual warmer tones from my last Caca Brun use as well as natural highlights from the sun. I want a cooler shade, knowing the light auburn hue in my ends will still shine through whatever I layer on top. Do you think this will work or should I avoid mixing henna products?

@lainamarie91

In my own personal experience, Noir gave a dark brown with a slight cool tone. I would definitely do a test section of hair first if you're unsure about the results. I don't see there being a problem with mixing hennas in general, it's just harder to know how it will turn out on your hair.
