Hair color and it'll have everything that you need to get started.

And so detailed and then definitely watch this video on how to apply it. So that way you get the best color results. First thing: first, when you're going to color your hair with henna, the question is: should i apply it on to clean or dirty hair? It varies amongst people, some people don't care. Some people do professionally. Speaking from my own experience in the salon, i definitely recommend pre-washing and ideally clarifying the type of clarifier that i like to use. Most often was a soap nut, hair wash. It was easy to use it really clarified and opened up the hair strands to really receive the color so much better. This is really important for those who have stubborn grays hard to color hair and really just want to open everything up to get the best. As the positive, so the best deposit will also be the longest lasting color treatment for you as well, and henna. Hair coloring is done about every four to six weeks and if you wanted to a root touch-up in between, you definitely can do so in between as needed. And if you don't have a clarifier on hand, you can definitely choose from the other. Hair washes and shampoo bars that we carry to wash your hair before you're, doing your hair down hair coloring treatment, and now that your hair is washed, you don't have to dry. Your hair actually leave your hair slightly damp because henna and aromatic hair care treatments go on so much easier on damp hair strands, so keep your hair down and get ready to apply the henna hair coloring treatment that you have prepared to color your hair with next Step is to section your hair. Do four sections in your hair like such, like the lines i just drew with my finger section, the hair and do a section at a time. This is really good for those who have a lot of hair. If your hair is short, you probably don't need to do that. You could just definitely just apply it and go from there, but as soon as you have your hair, sectioned and you're ready to go, don't forget, you have to use our henna care bone. We have this amazing henna carrot balm that will line your hairline, it's natural. It'S not vaseline, i don't recommend vaseline, don't use vaseline and use the henna care balm to line all your hairline and on your ears to avoid coloring. If you do color it by accident, just wipe it away, you know make sure to have some paper towel handy. So that you can just wipe away the paste if, by any chance it does stain, don't worry, it will go away in a couple of days and a handy little tip is if you are really annoyed by it, and some mishap of henna hair coloring happens somewhere On your skin, where you don't want it, you can use baby wipes to gently exfoliate and remove the color it'll help a little bit, but henna is pretty cold. It does stain when applying bisections start at the front and then move towards the back. You know, typically, a lot of colors will start at the front for the most part, and i found to allow it to have the most amount of dyeing time on this areas that are kind of stubborn. What happens to be usually like the edges and sometimes the crown area so definitely do by sections and make sure that you do put on a good amount. Don'T have your paste too thin, where it's dripping, because you need that moisture. You don't want your mixture to dry out for sure. If you want really good color results, you definitely have to make sure to really saturate really well on those proper areas and then um from there. Once you have covered all of your hair with the henna hair color treatment, massage it in give your hair a really good massage. You want to feel cool all over your scalp. That way, you know that you've gotten everywhere and you know if you're using a hair dye brush. You know, that's a tip. You can use a hair dye brush, but you can go back over it with your hands with gloves, of course, because it can stain definitely go back through it, massage it and use your hands. I love using my hands personally and giving it a nice massage. It feels so good guys it's seriously. It really does feel good and just really make sure you've gone all over and then heavily saturate the edges and anywhere, where there's stubborn hair, because literally i've seen hundreds of times where curls, especially or actually even straight hair, sometimes just hair. It wants to be wild and it pops out. You may not realize that it's actually lifting out of the dye um, so you really got ta saturate the areas that are really stubborn, make sure it stays moist and wet that really helps a lot. If it's you know damp and it doesn't dry out, because when it dries out, it gets cakey and muddy. I actually feel it's so hard on the hair as well when it's so dry and it makes it hard to wash out so once you know that you have had it very well, you know saturated it's nice and damp. Then you can use um like a shower cap um. You know that you can use and wrap it up really well, maybe even like to put on a bonnet over that or um like a scarf or something to really wrap it up and keep it nice and warm as well. I have a tip for those of you who are coloring your hair and have low porosity hair. You may want to use a heat cap, something to really get some more heat going on in there, because if your hair is more open, it'll also receive the color. Much better you'll get better penetration as well. I definitely found that to be the case for low porosity. You need to give it a little bit more heat a little bit more push to really get that stubborn hair colored really well. That really helps a lot make sure to have your extra towels all around. You know old t-shirt when you know when you, of course, before you get started, but definitely have it all extra towels and paper towel in case it does drip some and now, let's jump into the good part, the good part where we see how i applied henna Hair coloring treatments on different hair types and textures. So before i started her hair was already clean, so i did spritz it with more damp water and then i am applying the henna hair color from the beginning of her. You know her hairline all the way. Moving towards like the back and getting it all in between, but i didn't do sections per se, because her hair is a bit on the thinner side. So i didn't have to do sections per say on her hair, and then i definitely will lift it all up up of the hair kind of creating like a bit of a bun on top when i'm coloring the hair and then ensuring that all the edges are Colored really well, and then i used two shower caps to put on to her hair. Her hair was freshly washed already and i just detangled it a little bit more so that way make the application go on so much easier and again i started at the front and worked all the way to the back. I didn't really section per se with like clips and whatnot, because i didn't really need to and then just applying it through thoroughly throughout her hair and then wrapping it up almost like a bit of a bun and putting two shower caps over that as well. So when applying henna on locks, i ideally do like to use a very finely sifted. Henna powder, usually the jamila them and the indian henna powders are really finely sifted and it makes it very easy to wash out for this particular client. She has used henna before and that was hannah and indigo that we used to color her hair and she's very familiar with you know, coloring her her hair with hannah and indigo before previously, and she decided that she was just gon na wrap it up. Leave it on for three to four hours and wash it out at home herself. So her hair is freshly washed and slightly damp still and we're applying a mix of henna and indigo. And i did section her hair off because she does have a lot of hair. In those sections, as i am coloring them, i basically like to put them on top of the hair and kind of make it a bit like a bun or a little bit of a crown type thing that way. It stays out of my way as i'm working on other sections and then from there, i'm just applying it making sure to get it in really well massaging it there at the end and then fully making a full crown. So tell me a little bit about how you came to know about henna and aerobatic hair care, youtube um, i think, being on this natural hair journey. I was just looking for something that was natural and without all the chemicals i've had breakage over the years with using chemicals um. My journey started back in 2013 and that's when i did my big chop and then over the years just trying new things and um. Last year i think it was probably may or june i was like you know what i want to definitely do arabic, hair care and then that's when i went on youtube and um. I found curly proverbs and um. You know she was a you know, supporter of henna and um, and that's how i found him all right. What'S your your hair type, my hair type is 4a 4b, okay, and maybe oh, maybe 4c somewhere right here. If you were to tell anybody like any advice about hannah and arabic, is there any thing that you would share that either you wish you knew or they would you really feel like it's important that they know, but just do your research. I mean with anything that you put on your body or in your body. Just do your research before you. Do it because everything's not for everybody and you just want to make sure you're using the purest products out there. So i would just say: do your research? I'Ve always felt with some of the video and information that's out there, that people do get confused against information overload. Yes and then sometimes some people think that one way might work for them and it doesn't always like you know, work the same way. It might work for somebody else, but i feel like with those adjustments, and you can really have a lot of success like i definitely for me personally. I would definitely just see more colors and stylists like because i feel like if they start educating people, then it will be more well known because the people that are, we trust and look to to do. You know similar to like what you do and that's why? I'M here i traveled multi-states to get here for my visit with you today. So yes, awesome all right, so we're gon na get into it. So definitely did detangle her hair further. It'S really nice and damp, and i just wanted to make sure that it was fully detangled and then i made all her hair into sections and then i started at the front and started moving towards the back by section. Slowly and again, you can see making the crown on top of the hair, to get the hair out of the way so that i can work on different sections and then towards the end. I fully massage it all in at the very very end and make sure all the edges and all the areas are fully colored and double wrapped with the shower cap. So tell me a little bit about your hair journey or how you came to find out what hannah and ayurvedic hair care um. I am a bit of a youtube junkie, um, and so i saw some videos with curly proverbs and i've been following uh. Naturally, for quite some time there was a, i think, a hair challenge or a bundle or something that was for sale at the time. So let me look into it, so i was all over your site and trying to figure out. You know what would work for me and i i just kind of felt like i had been guessing for a long time. You know i'm moving back to this area and i said well, let me see if i can get an appointment and i did so here. I am so you're you're. Definitely some of your hair goals like what what do you want to achieve? I definitely feel like some of the things i've done to my hair um coloring, it pretty consistently uh. You know with harsh color coloring agents, um lots of heat. I haven't had a relaxer uh since oh four, so it's been a while um, but the coloring and the heat just wreaked havoc on the hair. So i'm looking forward to getting some thickness back because it feels like it's thinned out quite a bit. Having my hair be healthy, uh and then growing to you know great lengths again at one point, my hair was mid-back and i loved it. I want to be able to do that again. Well, no, we definitely need to get those goals. I really feel like this is going to work well for you. I just feel like this just treatments and consistency is going to be like huge, just jump into it perfect. So as i started to detangle her hair, i also put the henna care balm, as you can see in the video all around her edges and on her ears, so that way didn't color everywhere her hair, i didn't really need to section. I was able to go through it and do my own sections and thoroughly color hair, because she didn't have as much hair as some clients do and usually i use my best judgment in that and then put on as a crown bun it up to the top Of the head and make sure that good saturation with the henna hair, coloring treatment and getting the edges really well done, wrapped up and good to go so coloring her hair. I got her edges really well saturated with the henna care balm that i'm coloring all over her hair. By section i'm making my own sections, i didn't have to clip it down by section because she didn't have a whole lot of hair and then just thoroughly saturating. The gray hair and the edges to make sure to get it fully penetrated in the best best color results. You see, i massaged it in really well and then i'm going to wrap it up with two shower caps, so there's no drips anywhere and she will leave it on for three to four hours. What brought you to find out and discover hannah and arabic hair care? Well, my very good friend um had started using it a few months ago and she kept raving about it and i was having you know some challenges with my hair. I'Ve been natural now, since about 2010 2011. post-menopausal, i started having receding hairline um, getting that hormonal v up in my temple. My crown hair is very thin and i also have like three different curl patterns in my hair, okay, um, but challenge pretty much with the crown okay. So when i talked to my friend and she had told me about the results that she was having with henna, i think well, okay, let me you know, take a look and i started doing a little bit of research um, so i've been experimenting with different things: Um with henna some of your products um for about the past four weeks, okay, um i'm starting to see a response with my hair, okay, okay um. So now i just want to see if i can totally get away from chemicals or as much uh away from chemicals as i can and just go to natural route. Was there any, like particular, like first product that you used as far as when it comes to henna? Was it hannah right away or was it like a non-coloring herb? I used cassia, oh okay, okay, uh! Look my hair loved it; okay, absolutely loved it: okay! Okay! Okay, did you use like a mask or do more like a diy, i use the the mask the mask. Oh yeah, like the casters curls yeah, that's a good one! Yeah! That'S my favorite one. Do you usually do that mask like like on a certain type of regimen like have you decided like how like how often you want to do it? I wash my hair every week, okay um! So if i do a mask um then that following week, i do um a moisture, okay, a deep conditioner kind of thing. So at best i will say on a monthly basis. I will do two masks and two moisture treatments. I just wrote an alternative yeah yeah yeah. Oh, that sounds good, and how do you see like the henna hair color coming into that like fold? Will that just extend it to a six week plan um? I want the henna because i want to get away from, like i said chemical dyeing like right now i have um i've been using a rinse um. So if i can get the deep black color that i want from henna um, but i'm half okay with that - and i will probably do that, like maybe every other month - okay, um or probably just do a root. Touch-Up! Okay, you know so that when my hair yeah, when my gray starts to come in, i don't have all these colors in my hair. This has dark, hair and light hair and that's it. She came in with freshly washed hair and it was slightly damp. So i took it out of the twist that she had it in and detangled it really. Well then, i applied the henna care balm to all the edges in her ears, and then i started to apply all the henna and indigo hair coloring treatment to all of her hair and pulled up the hair to the top of the hair. You know would be out of my way as i worked on new sections and i kept massaging it in really really well to get and penetrate those areas that were gray and then we wrapped it up and she's going to leave it on for three to four Hours, what can i do for you all right, so tell me about your hair. How long have you been using henna in arabic? Oh boy, um gosh, maybe um, probably since maybe 12 2012 - maybe i don't know yeah, it's been. It'S been a really long time. Okay, and how did you first learn about black hannah once um? I wanted to color my hair without using that ppd chemical? That'S really that was really it and my hair is kind of. I always thought it was just weak, but it's it and maybe it kind of is, but the henna makes it like super. I always call it like super super superhero strength, hair because it feels that's because it feels like when i leave and then watch when i wash it out. It'S like oh wow, that's like somebody else. It'S so strong. It feels like it could take a brush. Just breaking through it, it just really feels so so so strong and it's it's. It'S awesome the way it feels and it lasts. It lasts a pretty long time too. What like hair type, would you say you have oh the receipt for a right? Okay, so combination yeah a lot. I feel like a lot of people, do ask me about like their hair type. They get questions like that, but sometimes people don't realize they actually have more than one type of hair right and mine is about six. It'S about six. Going on yeah it's in spot, so it's like 3c around the perimeter and then the top is like some other kind of combination, which i think a lot of people have. This crown thing where it's um thicker and, like a whole, different uh thing going on. So a lot of people do the four parting, they always say pardon four, i'm not i'm a five. I have to do five because this needs to be treated. It'S totally. That'S what i learned in my little my hair journey. This needs to be treated differently than everything else. I didn't think about it at all, because people do four and i'll do the four, but this is the spine has to be. It needs its own thing and how often do you feel you have to do? Um? Your hair, i i'm like i i'm kind of putting myself on a six to eight week schedule and is there anything if you had to tell anybody about just henna in general, like in the whole experience of henna? Is there anything that you wish you might have known or any tidbit um? I i left out youtube what i said in my journey and researching a lot of people. Um are having there's a lot of uh uh information out there. That'S kind of um negative towards henna and i think people um aren't uh. They get these things in their head and they do the stuff it just throw all these oil. It'S not necessary. Really, the basic mix is warm water henna, let it let it be. Yeah. Um you get deep conditioned after that's what i would say, because these people doing these combinations of and i'm watching them and they're in their kitchen and they're doing like oil and coconut, and this and i'm going, you don't need it. Actually, it may block keep your hair from absorbing all the good stuff, exactly yeah, so some people, i do over almost overthink the recipe and it's too much yeah and i get i get that they are scared. It might dry. I get that their hair might be dry and it may be just you know, deep condition right after um and and you know, i think everybody will be fine, i mean definitely for me, i mean i told you i was doing coconut milk, oh yeah, and this Is fine? Everyone can choose the recipe that looks like them when it comes to color. Keeping it simple, simple, simple is the best. Is the best easy right, that's what they did in the uh, the back of the uh day back in the day right, yeah cleopatra! That'S what they were doing yeah they didn't have all this stuff. So i did her edges with the henna care balm and i detangled, and then i started applying the henna and indigo hair coloring treatment. I got it all over her hair. Did my own sections pulled up the hair to the top of the hair as needed to get everything out of my way and applied it really well and thoroughly. So that way, she'd get good, color and good penetration and then massage it in really well. This time i did make it like a little thicker than last time, then, for you, i feel like it's thicker, so does it feel heavier to you it does. It does feel heavier and i did want to tell when people are doing their hair and if you're doing it on your own, definitely give yourself like a good massage like to make sure that everything got in and make sure you go over and touch up. The edges right, i'm good, even no, i'm loving him, i'm big on hannah. I just am so happy to come here because i don't have to mess up my kitchen and i don't have to kind of all i got ta do is wash it out four hours or go to sleep and do it in the morning yeah yeah. What is your plan actually? Do you think? Last time, last time i came, i i just kind of watched him that was my plan for tonight. Watch a movie me and my day, hair my date, my date hannah and we said we eat we watch. But anyway i just i like. I like the whole, like i said, super superhero, hair and um the scalp. You know because i don't have like a. I feel sorry for people when i see that they get itchy and, like you know, but this will like help that all this this on your scalp will help with the itchy. What else you do because you're the expert? Yes, i mean it definitely soothes the scalp soothing, and you know if any itchiness or any scalp issues, that's all going to be gone yeah. This is great. People really should jump on this yeah other than that, like the hair, color benefits and the coverage that you get raised is just really just healing it's very healing yeah and it forces you to slow down and take time for yourself. No, that's something i've read about. I'M sometimes i notice that when the grays on the edges, because it can be really stubborn - sometimes i feel like if it dries out too much, then you won't get the color the color, because it's just basically dried out. So if you keep it like damp and a little bit wet see, i didn't know that i actually didn't. I know that yeah it has to stay damp. Okay, i think yeah. So i should just pull the pull the plastic like further down since mine comes so far, but luckily you're going to have some so you're going to take some with you to do a little touch-up. I am just touching this so lucky i get to come here. I'M sorry i i just am i'm just so happy about this whole. You are doing my hair with anna and i get to go and i get to go home and just wash it out. I look forward to this. I'M so dark, like nervous as i come in here in traffic. Like i can't be late, i can't be late. I got ta get it. I got ta get the stuff in my hair, like people don't know, and it's just so easy um under under yeah yeah. I'Ve got this weird thing about my ears. Maybe it's because i was born with those holes like why and it washed out really really well. It was. It was so funny because it was like ash is going to be my henna cat and it was it. It didn't stain at all. No because it's black, it's perfect now.
