As someone with very fine naturally blonde(ish) who has used henna exclusively for 12 years (& didn't quite get the hang of it until a good 3-4 years in), I think I might know why you have such a hard time getting your roots to take. Henna needs heat to really cure & bring out those vibrant colors, so: - Use boiling water to mix the henna so it stays hot longer - Use a thick ceramic bowl for mixing, like the kind you might use for baking (again, something that's gonna retain heat longer) & cover it with a towel while it cures to trap heat in - Let it cure in the bowl for no less than 2 hrs (but no more than 4) before you put it on I know it sounds like a lot of hassle but it 100% is not once you're in the habit. My hair is so uniformly red now that I've even fooled anesthesiologists who nervously asked me if I ever had issues coming out of general anesthesia because "that is often an issue for redheads". Give it a shot!

Henna is so interesting because everyone seems to have differing experiences. I’ve used henna since 2009 as well and I always mix my henna (Jamila, body art quality) the night before I’m dyeing my hair so it sits for like nine hours before I use it and the colour deposit is perfect, I have never used heat in any form. I’ve always heard that you shouldn’t put boiling water on it because it can ruin the pigment. I always just use a little lemon because it’s said to help with the dye release.

It's a gamechanger! also not dyeing all the hair everytime if possible saves a lot of time :3 (haven't had any issues with a patchy result or anything..)

@@kcschomas if the rest of your hair is a light copper color (bleached) i'm not sure how uniform the results would get with henna, since it can't really lighten your natural hair, it just covers or merges with your own tones. i never bleached my hair so i get a nice dark red that gets lighter on my ends (due to sunlight and general damage i guess^^). if you're looking for a really nice and orange-y copper with henna you need light hair to begin with (like rachel who is a blonde naturally). with dark hair you usually get more of a burgundy result that only looks orange/copper when direct sunlight hits it in my experience, not sure if that's something you would enjoy if you're used to the results of chemical hair dye...

Heya!! at the risk of adding to the ton of advice you may already have had to plow through, I’ll just say this. Henna meant for body art is treated in a way to enhance the dark (near black) colour that’s preferred in henna tattoos. For hair, please opt for an organic henna hair mask-it should be ground henna leaves, free from chemicals. It’ll still give you the same rich red, coz that’s the colour of natural henna. And...a metal pan (cast iron) is actually advisable-it makes the colour richer! And, with that, I’ll rest my case. Absolutely love your channel. 💕💕 -from India 🇮🇳

Your hair is so gorgeous! I'm middle eastern and have been using henna all my life, a good trick is to mix it with conditioner and hot water (instead of yoghurt), it'll leave your hair way softer! And sitting under the sun or under direct heat helps to speed the process. 30 mins to 1 hour should be enough to dye your hair, but leaving it for longer than that will help strengthen your hair so it's better if you've got the time!

Creams are a pretty standard way to go to moisturize hair, though some extra research will be required if you want a cream that will also keep your hair healthy, which also goes a long way.

@Fokshee I feel you so much... I only brush them before going in the shower. Or I look homeless 😹

As someone who does henna for like...20 years probably I can give small tips : - remove your bathroom rug and put a very old and ugly towel instead. And I remove any towel or washcloth of the area to avoid being tempted to grab it, just in case 😂😂 - do your hair dye wearing only panties, black being the better choice, so when you're done, you can get into the shower to rinse the henna that fell into your skin and avoid to have orange spots that will stay for days in the worst case scenario. Prepare black clothes for after the shower. For the upper body, best would be a tank top stretchable enough to be put on by the legs to avoid any risk of putting henna on it, because dry henna crumbs get everywhere.... - like said in the video, the longer the henna stays on your head, the better it dyes your hair and stays afterwards. I leave it on for at least 2 hours. - rinse your hair in a bucket. Henna is very difficult to rinse and it uses a lot of water. I found that using a bucket is way less messier, more efficient and eco-friendly. The biggest issues would be if you're scared of putting your head in the water and you'll probably have a bit of henna in your ears...but it doesn't stay. I fill up and empty my bucket twice and then finish with the shower head. - Everyone does whatever they want, but I always bought henna or natural hair dye that recommend avoiding shampoo at all cost for 18 to 24h, so the color stays better on your hair. I found it to be true but maybe I'm influenced. To get rid of any henna crumbs, put some conditonner or hair mask and leave it on your hair for 5 mn at least. And I'll end up saying it's not a real tips but I'm very lazy when it comes to take care of my hair so I never miss the occasion to put any oil or essential oil or any product that is good for the hair because it will stay on for at least 2 hours :) Anyways, loved the video and (and the fabulous hair color 😍😍😍) the content of the channel all together, very nice feeling of vintage and a lot of fun that I love 😍😍😍😍. And please excuse my english it's not my native language.

Always love your videos, thank you! Just thought I’d share (re: “no tears” kid shampoo) that one of my friend’s sisters thought that “no tears” shampoo meant that if she put it in her eyes, she would never cry again...

I love that we're seeing all three versions of Rachel in this one video

Rachel: “Now you can wrap your head like a bowl of guacamole that you’re bringing to a friend’s party knowing full well its gonna turn brown” Me: “But You added lemon!” My favorite thing about this video is all the similies!

I've been using henna for 5 years now and I love it! I'm a natural brunette and my hair comes out as auburn with the henna. Thanks to henna, I can get away with looking like I just got out high school and fool everyone into thinking that I am not a millennial.

Rachel Maksy lore

As someone with naturally curly hair, and has never used curlers, watching her brush it out STRESSED me out. I just... the horror... the frizz that dry brushing my hair causes.

You are one of the KZreadrs who inspired me in 2020 to begin (re)growing my hair out so I can do awesome vintage and braided hairstyles--I did have to give up the fake ginger life because it was wrecking my scalp after 5 years, but I'm learning to appreciate my natural hair color. Thank you for all the content during the dumpster fire of the past year, and onward to better days!

You aesthetic is EVERYTHING. You inspire me to be myself, and to enjoy fashion. Thank you for your content!

Rachel: I started doing it this way because it kind of mimics the curling iron... me: barrel? Rachel: SHAFT me: oh

“are all of those chemicals good for my hair? probably not. should i go visit a salon? probably yes. will i do so? absolutely not” is maybe the most me thing anyone has ever said and i legit snorted

*has natural curls and no intention of dyeing my hair... ...still watches 20+ min video on hair routine because it’s Rachel* 😂💕

I really like how the bangs turned out, actually! They're perkier when you curl them, and the "sexy cool rachel" vibes are definitely there :^)

I love that Editing Rachel™ now gets an entire screen for her snarky shenanigans! And the handwritten, (digitally written? digitally-by-hand-written?), annotations are absolutely choice. So glad to have you back

As a hairstylist who is a natural light blonde, and had my hair colored red for 5 years, I thoroughly support your Henna journey ;) remember what you put in when you mix will affect the final color... I always wanted my more red than orange, I mixed in red wine, warm water and even some redirect dye... I never had issues with it clinging to the roots ( I have other colors that won’t stick like Elumen). Those overtone color conditioners ( or other color conditioners) work like a charm when the glow goes of the hair, and prolonge the color... maybe you could even get away with only coloring you roots and using overtone on your lenghts... I have a tip for your rollers... if you hate those plastic clips ( in my hair they always left with marks from the plastic) just cut them outs use a bit of cabbage and stick it through the hole - so next time you just tie the fabric and bye bye to those pesky marks on the roots ;) And I always support my clients cutting their own bangsand try to teach them doing it on their own....... and I only have one tip.... if you switch up where you cut, and start with a little at a time, it should work better.... I love that you cut them with thinning shears, it gives a softer tip... but other than that... cut on the underside of the fingers, that gives you more control over where you cut and how short it gets! If you want more tips, I can give you one more.... start with a small section about an inch wide, right where your part line is, or if you switch it up, tight in the middle.... let that section fall down and find out where you want the shortest length to fall, and cut either with your thinning shears, or point cut vertical with the tip of a normal pair of shears.... that gives you a guide to work from.... now you take a section of your sidebangs and do the same thing... if you do one side at a time you can take the cut side and the uncut side, pull it out right in front of you face, meeting in the middle, and that gives you a guide for the other sidebang.... finally you just connect the to guides through the rest of your bang, one side at a time.. A pro tip - always cut less off than you think in the first go.... as you discovered, it’s easier to cut more later ;)

Also, as you take weight/length off hair, it tends to lighten/spring up and look shorter. Especially if cut wet. I had a low forehead when younger. If I measured to top of my brow, from my hairline, I would end up with a fringe like moustache halfway up my forehead😬🙄😒😢!! My bangs and I usually looked liked the younger daughter on 'Father Knows Best'. LMBO In Beauty school, I learned to start farther back on my hairline, and cut to about middle of eye, or longer. 🤗

I have a ‘2 head’ ( as in my forehead is 2 fingers wide) and to combat that while having ‘real bangs’ I took the very front section ( about 1 cm width ) and cut up to the hairline... that gave me the illusion of a higher forehead and thus a better look ;)

@sabinahertzum9728

@@reneekh3599 - its about what you are aiming for... henna is NOT a demi permanent color, it’s even more permanent than any chemical permanent color... The difference between henna and regular color is that a normal color opens the cuticle of the hair slightly before depositing color, while henna only deposits - but the henna particles are not really penetrating, they are sitting in the cuticle and staining the hair.... So while henna still fades, it can’t really be removed.... So if you at any time in the near future are thinking of changing up your color, then DONT do henna.... the only option after henna is going darker.... But if you are committed to the red and willing to experiment a bit with the color - go ahead... Henna is an organic product - so while it will go red, it’s not like looking in a color swatch book... you never know exactly what hue it will come out as.... and as I said above, what you mix in will affect the color.... lemon is great for amping up the orange for example.... red wine is great for going burgundy, and coffee is great for deepening the color.... You do need the warm water to mix it in, because that is what really activated the henna particles.... The reason for using a color on the roots is because the henna doesn’t penetrate or open the cuticle, so some people have a hard time getting henna to stick to new growth....

I don’t work in a salon anymore, but I’m a cosmetologist and I’ve never seen anyone add yogurt to henna and that is so smart!! Part of why I don’t work in a salon anymore is because I developed a really bad allergy to PPD which then evolved to being allergic to almost all hair dye. So to anyone trying this very cool idea, do a patch test 24 hours before trying a new hair color.

your hairs so gorgous im actually tearing up like STOP BEING A VINTAGE MOVIE QUEEN 😡 edit: THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING OFFFF her hair looks like sleeping beautys except even prettier 🌸

just adding this as another voucher for henna: been dyeing my hair with it for 8 years. i also use box dye first to lift my roots bc my hair is naturally medium brown, but i just use a nondescript dark blonde for that, bc i like my red to be a shade or two darker than rachel’s. i prepare my henna with only warm water (apparently letting it simmer can destroy the pigments, so i’m always careful abt that), then i use one of those electric hand mixers to make it real smooth bc i does tend to clump. then i just let it sit for a bit and periodically test it by putting a little on my hand and waiting a couple minutes-if it leaves a very orange stain, it’s good to go. i apply it to dry hair just to make it easier to see where i’m putting it, wrap it and sleep in it. then wash in the morning and voilà. that has never damaged my hair, on the contrary. HOWEVER, i can’t stress enough that it is permanent. like “forever” type of permanent. no bleach will get rid of it and it *will* destroy your hair to try it. believe me, i’ve tried. oh, and to me henna just smells like herbal tea. ☺️ i’ve definitely smelled worse hair things. lol

To dry themselves. Hence all the rubbing against your carpet/chairs etc

Long time henna user here with a tip: I usually do my initial rinse-out in the kitchen sink (stainless steel, ya know). Once it’s mostly out, I move to the shower to make sure I got everything. Saves you from a mess in the tub! Also, I have a couple old bath towels reserved to cover the floor as I find they protect it better than newspaper. Just roll it up and throw it in the laundry machine when you’re done!

I tried your method of curling and omg. I always thought i could never have curly hair for more than 1 hour, but with the old school rollers it worked! I can't believe i've always just thought i needed to use a curling iron, which didn't really work for me anyways. Thank you so much for sharing your routine! My vintage dreams have come true.

The “whole ass hair routine” joke caught me by surprise, so I laughed with a mouth full of pretzels and nearly choked. 😂
