Hairdresser Reacts To Henna Hair Color!

Call Me Agent M: Don't worry. We straight females pay attention to the chest too.

Matt Da Potato: Americans: Omg look at this natural hair dye! Arabs who are doing it for thousands of years:

I'm V: As someone with curly/kinky hair all dyes have messed up my curl pattern so henna is a great alternative! It might take some time but if you're scared of messing up your curl pattern try henna

lila alaoui: Henna is a long process..., but at the end of the day you will not suffer from hair loss, and henna works for who wants dark shades

L McCormack: Brad, darling, please, update this. It is perfectly possible to get all natural tones with the proper combination of indigo, woad, henna and the correct choice of acidic liquid to tone it . Cassia italica is very like henna but nearly clear and makes a good clear coat to keep the rest from coming off so soon. Henna , plain or in mixtures with indigo and woad wears off up the colour scale from warm black to palest yellow if not reapplied and without the hard line of demarcation as with chemical dyes. it also effectively covers even a hard line of demarcation. If you want it out, simply apply warm mineral oil, wrap in plastic for about twenty minutes and shampoo it. The video you chose with the black woman is ... well... shit. Indigo wears off faster than henna, if you do it the way shown there, you do the indigo first. You remarked on not getting the same colour every time. This is an amateur mistake, comes of using a dodgy or irregular supply. Henna is properly Lawsonia inermis. It grows in the toes the Atlas mountains ( and many other places well) The colour comes of Lawsones, how much or little in the plant dictates the shade. Very little will yield yellows, more to oranges and strawberry blondes, more to full reds and the heaviest lot will give deep, bloody reds to maroon with no other additives. The key to getting same shade is quality supply, pure and simple. The mineral content in the water supply also plays in here. Those who know use distilled water. How does it work? It is a clear vegetable coating that builds up on hair, adheres to each shaft, fills and smooths , adds astonishing weight an shine. The colour isn't all one shade, it has all the subtle tones and highlights because the stuff is clear so the natural variations in the underlying hair come through. Do that with dye, my love, I dare you! Result: No damage plus all that protection equals omfg gorgeous! It's wonderful for flyaway hair older folk have. it also effectively covers grey as no other dyes Id ever found will. It is a godsend for chemically damaged hair. Yes, labour intensive. The reason is that the deposit is slow and the hair must be kept wet the entire time. Indian ladies often wrap it up and sleep with it for deepest deposit and richest colour. That way is incredibly messy that way and I don't even want to know what the sheets look like after! I can't stand my head wet for more than four to six hours but I simply do it again in a day or two and then follow with the Cassia italica to keep it from wearing off as soon. As said above, it wears off by coming up through the shades, as bleach will do from dark to light. The difference is there is no damage though the hair loses weight as it comes off. This is why we use the Cassia italica, to slow that process. This is also why we leave it as long as possible or do it more than once over a few days , to build up a deeper layer, yes? No, it will not lighten hair at all. but used on black hair, one gets a stunning fire in bright light in addition to weight and shine. think black hair in a dim hall that has recessd lighting. As the head passes under the light, a firey nimbus comes into being... To gt browns or tone for cooler shade, one learns to add indigo and/or woad. It takes a bit of experimentation to achieve the correct shade. Assuming colour matching to the natural colour, it is then a matter of mixing the correct weight of henna to indigo and/or woad to one compound product. The only time we do the blue first and then the red is to get black and it's never cold black is always warmish. using an acidic liquid like lemon or coffee assist the deposit of the colour. The choice of acidic will also contribute to warmer or cooler tones. I only ever use a tablespoon of white vinegar, have arrived at the perfect shade of cold, medium dark brown for my skin tone through my mix of indigo and henna alone. How long does it last? That depends on the same factors as regular dye with addition of how deep is the layer to begin with and if Cassia italica is used over it to slow the process. Assuming a two hour application and no Cassia italica, one will begin to see colour shift in two to three weeks on average. It doesn't leave a hard line though, unless the hair was very light to begins with AND the colour used was very dark. The line softens as the stuff wears off. You described bad things happening like the hair catching fire and attribute them to henna. NOT possible. What your clients used were preparations that include henna but clearly have metals in them as well as heaven only knows what else. Trivia for you: Lucille Ball's hair was a light, golden blonde. She used a bright red Persian henna for that signature colour. She was once a Pall Mall girl, one can still see her as a blonde in those old ads. have fun looking and please, dear, beautiful boy, update this video if you haven't done yet.

Sophia Schmidt: I want to trust someone as much as plunder bunny trusts the straps on her top

Autumn Deneault: This bothers me so much. I have never once used henna, but I also know that there is an entire culture behind it and there are so many reasons why people use it. Bleach and color damage the hair a lot and in this case henna doesn't do that. It is easy and doesn't last forever and you don't need to grow your hair back in to get your natural color back. He was honestly really ignorant and close-minded in this video.

Tanvi Kumar: Most videos/content about henna or 'mehndi' (as we call it in India) is culturally tone-deaf, so his reaction was not a shocker. Yes, henna does not give you instantly light hair or drastic color transformation but it literally fills in the nooks and crannies of your damaged hair with earthy goodness and heals that over-processed fried hair from excessive chemical treatments. Please don't use henna if you want to play with your hair in terms of color. It won't give you the desired result and you'll shame it to everyone you talk hair with. Use it to heal your hair and when you want to give them a break.

Casie Randolph: I used henna for over a decade. I'm naturally blonde and I just loved the color I got and how healthy it made my hair. It literally strengthens your hair by bonding with the keratin proteins. My hair was so strong, shinny, bright, and it was very multidimensional. Everyone always assumed I was a natural redhead unlike with any demicolor I used prior. The only reason I stopped is just because I got tired of dying my hair and grew back out to my natural. Oh also henna doesn't deposit, it dyes by bonding with proteins.

Jade: For those who don’t know, henna isn’t this insane. I use it and it takes like 10 minutes to make the “concoction” and I don’t put acidic stuff it it, and you just need to put it on for 30 minutes to 4 hours which if you don’t want to only do 30 minutes. Then you just wash it out with water and don’t wash your hair for a couple days. That’s it. And it washes off fabric in the washer. Sooo uh. Yeah. It’s also healthier. It’s natural and doesn’t have PPDs, ammonia, alcohol, or other chemicals that are often in hair dyes. My mom is allergic to normal hair dyes so henna is a life saver.

Keshavee Nandan: I'm Indian and we used to grow henna plants in our backyard and grind henna leaves to make natural henna paste and use it on our hair. Henna is a plant abundantly grown in southern Asia so maybe it suits people in that region more. Reason why people prefer henna is because it's like a nutritional hair mask that deposits very natural colour which may not look good on Caucasian hair but looks BEAUTIFUL on Indian hair. My mom used henna just for the health benefits not for the colour when she was young n didn't have any grays. And no matter what chemical haircolor you use it'll always damage the hair in some way, just like every product does. Your hair can get damage even if u shampoo too much obv so it's not a shocker that people in regions where henna was used traditionally still prefer it over other manufactured hair dyes.

Yasmin: i'm Arabic and my grandma suffered from cancer, which means that my mom and i could possibly be carriers. Henna is amazing not only for the beautiful color it gives to black hair, it doesn't cause cancer and its very healthy. Ofc, i believe that henna works best on black hair, and other fruit combinations and rose petals can work for brown. Ive never personally used it in my hair since i have brown hair but my mom uses it and although it is a bit messy, her hair becomes so thick and healthy. This definitely isn't hate to ANYONE!!!!! i'm just informing the amazing benefits of Henna :) Have a good day luvs <3

Maille Gray: I wish you had done more research on henna... I've been dying my hear with henna for many years now after previously dying my hair for several years with chemical dyes. You CAN add different color variations with different strains of henna, for example I switch between a Rajasthani variation for more burgandy tones and a Red Raj variation for brighter red tones. You can also add red pigments like hibiscus to help boost the red and add coffee or darker pigments to have more brown tones. You can add all kinds of herbs to help strengthen or moisturize or whatever else have you. Also, yes, henna will look patchy for an overnight while the henna cures. These women are showing videos of the dye right after their hair dries while it is very bright orange. It looks a lot better 12 hours after drying while the henna does its thing. I've done both henna and chemical dyes and I am NEVER going back to chemical dye. If you want to educate yourself, check out Henna Sooq. They sell high quality henna of a variety of shades and have actual cultural and instructional information.

Tish Harris: I'm quite surprised by his attitude in this video. I've been using Henna since I was 15, and I'm 59 now. It's natural, easy to use (HINT: use the plastic bottles you buy at beauty salons with nozzles to apply it), and the results are lovely. It's GREEN MUD, and that's just fine with me!

missjoasia123: My physician uses henna in her hair and I thought she had highlights, it looks super good in person. In the light she has these deeper red highlights in between her black hair. Looks really good. And my mom’s cosmetologist uses henna to tint her eyebrows and they come out brown. My mom and I are Eastern European so henna is not in our culture but for eyebrows it looks amazing and soft compared to like girls using men’s beard dye in their brows. I’m just saying. The henna does look amazing in black hair.

Georgi: I literally was like “This editing god” Then realised he had a twin

Tori Sweat: I love the amount of support for Henna in the comments and sticking it to Brad educating him

Celine dd: Henna goes back to thousand of years it is actually one of the first haircolor changing things on this world.It is a cultural and traditional thing.

laure189: I used henna for years and it has always made my hair look healthy and gorgeous. But because of the effort and time it took, one day I switched to "normal" hair colouring and it completely DESTROYED my hair. I was so disappointed. I went back to henna shortly after. It's SO much better.

MySeasideRendezvous: My mom started dyeing her hair when grays started to come in. She used to either use box dye or get it done at the salón. Neither of those options gave her the look she wanted PLUS her hair got really damaged and started to feel like straw. She then started using henna and it just fills in her grays as really pretty red highlights and her hair is so soft and silky now. It’s so much better than before.

NotÜbercharged: Why does Brad's brother look more like Brad than Brad does lol

La_Luna: I love henna. I am also very surprised by Brad's negativity towards it. It will of course never compare to the many different tones you can create with chemical hair dye, and I get that he prefers that as part of being a hair artist. But henna is amazing for anyone who doesn't care anymore to lighten the hair colour up, and mainly want to boost their natural hair colour with a healthier alternative. I use henna by Radico on dark brown/black hair. And it gives my hair a warmer tone and my small amount of grey hairs turn into beautiful red/brown highlights.

LM: I have used Henna and Henna/Indigo mixes many times. I think the problem here is that hairdressers are taught it's the devil due to the horrible box mixes that were often sold advertised as Henna but diluted with allsorts of metallic compound crap. Two entirely different beasts. The real thing is amazing and does not damage your hair - it strengthens it.

Heather Sheppard: As a henna girl - the red tones do NOT FADE!!! your hair will literally be a beautiful shade of red until it grows out. You don’t have to touch it up at the salon every few weeks like with chemical dyes. And one box only costs $5, literally so amazing.

Kristy C: Demi permanent hair dye does indeed damage the hair over time, as do chemical colorant. Henna is a much better alternative to hair dyes, but only if you want very permanent results. You can achieve an inky blue black with henna and indigo. If you always prefer your hair to be black, it is definitely worth it to do the henna indigo 2 step process....

Diy_CaT: I'm very straight and I can't help but stare, Brad. Don't feel bad.

Adia Shmadia: Brad, the more you henna your hair, the more you learn your perfect formula to get the exact kind of color you want. Definitely worth it, definitely can choose what “tone” you want with research and experimentation :)

GlowingInHell: I literally forgot he had a twin and was so amazed by how well they did it. "It cant be split screen cause he's touching him..did they photoshop the face onto him? wow so seamless! wait" and was trying to hard to figure it out. Then I went back and rewatched from the beginning and was like "OH"

Katherine Allen: The henna I use can be used immediately, once it has cooled to warm and it only stays in for an hour with a bag on my head to trap the heat in. It works great, it leaves my hair shiny and healthy and she right, it smells like matcha.

TheGypsykueen: It took me a while to find the perfect tone for me. I use 50% henna + 40% Indigo + 10% Cassia(blonde)- all in one go. For moisture use strong hibiscus tea, lemon and tea of a very dark brown nutty tree. Can't remember the name. It turns out a lovely coppery red, healthy and shiny! I have a lot of salt and pepper already so it looks like natural highlights.

sheena moknik: is nobody gonna talk about how amazing his intro was

Sudipa Ganguly: Henna is actually used as a natural nourishing hair pack in many Indian regions, and yes also to get a decent brownish burgandy color also

Harini Duggirala: Love how he's shaming it even tho it's much better than chemical hair dye cuz it's literally just plants and is so much better for ur hair than hair dye

Ari M: Im coming for you lol. Your reaction was pretty ignorant. And I was looking forward to seeing your video on Henna. I have been using Henna for 4 years now and can't stop even when trying lol. The magic is does to my scalp and hair is worth the effort and I have found tricks to make it 1000× easier. I keep it on for 1 hour instead of overnight. It produces the same stain and I would only keep it on overnight if my hair is super dry for extra conditioning. You can make it in bulk and freeze the extra mud in zip lock bags in the correct amount for your roots or whatever amount you want. Just pull out and thaw for an hour or too. Good to go. I also had a skin issue on my scalp (extreme itchiness) and since I started using it the itchiness went away. It smoothes out my frizz, straightened my hair from wavy to straight, and also my hair is a bomb ass red that doesn't fade like demi/semi/permanent red dyes. There is an orange tint that washes out after a week and then it's a beautiful red that is very very very low maintenance. Like I said, I have tried to stop using it before a few times because I love my natural hair color and texture but the benefits of Henna always out way. Think a compliment a week on your furr. Anyways, it's not for everyone but when it is it is.

NorthMountainFairy: I colored my hair red for years and my fine hair was just so tiny on a ponytail. Since I switched to henna my hair is thicker and healthier than it’s been my entire life. I use just plain henna red. I mix it with hot tea, cover it and let it sit for *ONLY* *45* *MINUTES!!!!* Then I apply it and wear it for *ONLY* *ONE* *HOUR!!!* and I still get a red that shines in the sun while strengthening my hair. I love it more for its conditioning properties than its coloring properties. I will never color my hair any other way again. There is a reason women in India have been using henna forever. I know it is intimidating when you first consider it, but it’s absolutely doable after work one day and ready for work bright and early the next day. I’ve done it several times. You do not have to spend days preparing it and hours wearing it.

Elaaf Almalek: henna isnt just a natural way to "color hair" its actually really helps the hair get healthy

Shreya Chandra: Henna is a easier way to die your hair without damaging it, you make the henna leave it overnight, and apply, wait for 3 hours, then wash it! If you want it to be black you have to apply this other powder

Tini Langstrumpf: I dyed my hair red with Henna when I was a teenager and it was always very easy and my classmates got so used to it, that they thought I was a natural ginger. I don't know if I had a special Henna powder, but for me it was really easy. I just mixed the powder with hot water and let it cool down for like two hours and put it on for some time washed my hair and done. Really easy. My results were awesome everytime, but maybe that's also because I am naturally blond. What ever. I just wanted to share, that Henna can be really fun

Corinne Kimball: Henna can be a good option for people who are allergic to regular hair dyes.

pippi langstrumpf: I died my hair ginger with henna for years- and it worked perfectly fine. The henna would pick up the highlights and darker areas of my natural hair and it lasted me for about half a year and grew out smoothly. It also never damaged my hair at all, because all it contains is (in my case) organic plant. I always opted for it because there are hardly any colours that will give you natural looking ginger hair otherwise, and on there are only very few tutorials on youtube regarding that, that are all super difficult and use multiple products. Just wanna encourage you to try it- it ALWAYS worked perfectly on my hair, I also used red-wine instead of water, that intensifies the color! Have fun edit: my natural hair colour is a darker blonde that gets lighter in summer

Valerie24810: "those are some big things on her chest” Girl. GIRL. My back hurts just LOOKING at that.

WhisperHub: Henna is an ABSOLUTE lifesaver for me as it's the only way I can dye my hair as I'm allergic to all other hair dye. We're not talking a bit of hot scalp allergic...thankfully I got patch tested so only came out in massive hives in a small area. When you're going grey and have hair dye allergies, henna is a godsend! Also, it's not such a big hassle - takes 2 mins to mix...I then leave it covered in the fridge for a minimum 1 week as it develops the colour much closer to my natural colour. I have short hair so takes about 5 mins to apply, then I wait 90 mins and it's done. :)

Bryan Smith: Lush actually has a really nice henna line. Used it for years as it targets grey hair really well. Haha yeah the only way I’d change the hair is to cut it out! Never bleach before or after henna

Dayana Lemus: Started dying my hair with henna because I was tired of my scalp overreacting to bleaches and colors. Am doing it now as I watch this video. I was like, " I wonder if Brad mondo has done a video on henna." lol

Mishti Banerjee: Oh, here in India we have been using it for year's and it's definitely lot better than most chemical based hair colours...not to forget it works as natural conditioner too ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nicole Ryan: The straps on her shirt are working overtime. I applaud her confidence in them.

Rebecca Tafra: It might be something to do with the damage that colour production does to the environment? The amount of chemicals produced when making colours is pretty intense and a lot of those chemicals are hard to dispose of properly. So maybe they’re avoiding the use of chemical colours as well as protecting their hair? I mean, that’d be my reasoning if I used henna.

Shrutss iicy: As an Indian, I can say that henna literally do magic to my hair, it makes my hair more voluminous, shining and definitely more manageable. ☺ I used to use henna mixed with an egg, honey and few drops of tea tree oil, this mixture works for me the best.

Collections Never Complete: I had a severe allergic reaction to hair dye (professionally done) in 2016, it was developed over years of dying. I now use Lush henna bricks which are made with henna and cocoa butter and it doesn’t last that long but it is much safer as it doesn’t pierce the root like hair dye it just stains it

Todoroki: I think Brad was a bit rude in this video about henna and the names he called it because he could've found out what its actually for and looked further into it before making this video.

Emma Lancaster: “I’m very gay, however ...” needs to be on some frigging merch! Brad! Get onto that!

idk: Hi brad! I’m middle eastern and honestly a lot of women use this because it’s just a sure and traditional way of dyeing your hair. Also a lot of us have black hair and henna is sure way to change your hair tone (i also experienced semi-permanent hair on my black hair just doesnt do much) Also, a lot of women believe it keeps your hair from going gray early. It’s also because culturally before the invention of hairdye people used to use henna to dye graying hair

Heather G: My grandma's favorite hairstylist uses henna in her salon. Whenever my grandma went in to have her hair retouched it always looked like a very natural reddish brown. Henna is a beautiful dye used for many things, not just hair. Henna tattoos are gorgeous; some friends and I got them a few years ago. And henna has been around a lot longer than your chemical dyes. If you didn't learn about it, then maybe try educating yourself. The beauty industry is full of new and old techniques that work. It doesn't hurt to learn something new instead of bashing it because you don't understand it.

Daffy Duck: Henna does not work immediately. Apply it at regular intervals like once and twice every month. Gradually the colour comes up. Henna is a natural remedy for hairfall, dandruff, hair itch...it gives soothing feel to your hair. **Most important -- don't simply leave your hair after applying Henna. In India, where it is a very common thing, after applying Henna leave it for 2-3 hours or 4, then wash it. And before sleeping oil your hair well. Wash in the morning. After 2-3 days the colour will gradually come up. It's a herbal way...takes time..... without destroying anything. You do have to leave it overnight for it to give better results. It is advised to let the Henna soak in warm water or coffee water or things of your choice , in iron "karhai". You can add things in Henna but don't simply add whatever is said. Do proper research. There are various ways for applying it. Indeed it's bit ....bit messy but with time you will be able to handle the mess even if you have long hairs. Have a nice day.

Unknown: It’s actually really easy to use the reason some girls use it is because it has benefits and doesn’t ruin ur hair like dyes do

Rababah Amjad: Henna is and was used as a cultural way dyeing hair and skin. You’ve got to bare in mind that it was traditionally Arab/South Asian women who did this, and their hair would take the colour differently. It was also a way for them to cover greys, regardless of it being orange, it was a cultural tradition. Henna also has many health benefits too. From the look of it, many of these girls are not using pure natural henna but rather a processed version of it, which subsequently will result in a different finish.

ItsThatKidJax: I'm a natural red head(auburn) and the older I get the duller my natural hair gets. I've been using henna for 3+ years and It's so much better than red dye. It lasts and doesn't wash out. I only need to touch up the roots. I love that it's natual (if you buy correctly). It smells terrible for a few days but goes away. I get compliments all the time on my color. It's pretty damn close to my natural when I was young. It comes out bright red for the first few days but gets darker after it settles. They should've shown the hair a few days after the application for the true color. I highly recommend henna for natural read heads. It enhances your natural shade and doesn't look as fake

Daniella P: educating brad 2: also henna reacts differently in every persons hair depending on composition, previous dye and natural hair color. so for some ppl it will be extremely vibrant and for others it will even be a different shade of red

A M: Ok have tried everything. Starting from Henna, every kind of hair colour, straightening, smoothing, keratin. And trust me Henna is AMAZING on the hair. My hair stopped falling completely after I switched to henna post covid.

Blobby: Unlike chemical dyes, henna improves the condition of your hair by bonding to the keratin - it's like a natural protein treatment and also adds thickness and body to fine hair. It can be mixed with other herbs to create a huge range of colours, from fiery vibrant red, golden blonde (cassia) to ashy browns, and even black. Henna and other natural treatments are the future for hairdressers - customers are demanding natural, safe alternatives and shunning chemicals. These natural alternatives are difficult to apply, which means that there is a problem that the market can solve. Here is some more info for you - God bless you! http://www.hennaforhair.com/freebooks/

adee ha: My arab, african and asian sisters are cringing and dying on the floor rn. Henna is APPLIED in a certain way and MIXED in a certain way depending on what colour you want or the effect you want it to have on your hair. People applying henna the wrong way is making me have a mini stroke i cant even lie its been used for thousands of years and is very easy and simple to use. You just need to know what you're doing. Not everyone is into chemicsl hair dyes.

M.: Why does brad seem so against henna like we know you’re a hair stylist and a colorist but other ppl do it in other ways lmao it’s almost like he is kinda salty something other than store bought hair dye can color your hair lmao

sailor lean: I used henna to bring my hair from platinum blonde back to my natural deep brown colour and it worked so beautifully. It’s healthy and shiny, you can’t tell it’s been bleached twice and it hasn’t faded into an awkward ugly colour after nearly a year of growing it out

Aastha Singh: "People who go for henna probably don't have a lot of knowledge about real hair colour" Wow. I never thought a hairdresser could be so ignorant about hair colour.

Sheila R: I tried henna a few times ages ago, though I used a boxed preparation without all that faffing about with beverages. It tends to pull red quickly, no matter what color it's meant to be. The deal-breaker for my curly, frizz-prone hair is that henna swells the hair and creates more pouf. I use demi-permanent now, but the reason some choose henna is to avoid the heavy metals that dyes can deposit in hair. (As seen in the HBOmax Brittany Murphy docuseries, where some thought she'd been poisoned because of heavy metals in her hair shaft, which was from hair dye and not present in roots.)

MeatballSock: *Brad talking about her watermelons* Me when I saw the videos thumbnail: “those can’t be real, they just can’t be”

Maya D: I've been using henna on my naturally blonde hair for a few years now. We mix it with green tea, let the mix sit for 1-3 hours then it takes a couple hours to apply, then we let it sit on my head for 3-6 hours and rinse it out with just conditioner and the color deepens for 48 hours. It doesn't fade like the box dyes I've previously used and actually provides UV protection for my scalp which is a nice bonus. My hair gets compliments all the time with people always assuming it's my natural hair color. Personally, I'm never going back to box dyes. ‍♀️

Silvia Martinelli: Henna is absolutely amazing for your hair, I used to use henna a lot and my hair were shiny and so healthy! I have fine hair and they get destroyed when I use chemical colors, especially since they are dark and they need to be bleached to do anything. The problem is that it's so much work, and with 2 young kids and a job I simply stopped. Also, no, you can't make henna in all different colors, those are chemical dyes with some henna in it. Reactions with chemical dyes also happen when henna is not 100% natural

Deanna Pietrorazio: What I learned from this: if you want to color your hair, aren’t rich enough to go to a salon, and don’t want to break it with box dye, this is the way to go :)

MIG: I have a lot of Arab and Indian friends and love their culture. Also, I've dyed my hair with henna before and loved the outcome (the process less). What I try to say is: with all due respect (because of the reasons I just mentioned), I believe Brad was doing a video only on the technical part and outcome of coloring with henna, not about cultures. Which from a professional hair dresser's point of view is perfectly fine. He was not talking about the cultural reasons why people color the hair with henna. Most Western people use henna because they think that is the only way to not damage your hair while coloring. And he was only saying that, in his opinion, there are other (easier) ways with salon dye. He was not disrespectful at all towards any culture, he was just giving his opinion only on the technical part of 'henna hair color'.

Rima A: I find it hilarious how surprised he is that people dye there hair with henna because it’s soooo common in my culture. And not only women use it in their hair but men use it too especially in their beards lmao

Rukmini Das: Henna is also a conditioning treatment, it gets rid of scalp infections and dandruff, promotes hair growth if mixed with hibiscus powder. And it's all natural and FYI, if you let the mixture cure overning in a wrought iron bowl, the colour you grt is like a copper brown. I personally like to mix an egg into the cured henna before application that way my hair turns pillowy soft and very very smooth and shiny

Hidayah: You can make your hair either orange red, bright tomatoe red, or dark red depending on how much "mud" you put on, how long you let it sit and what other stuff you mix into the henna (like lemon juice or other essential oils). In the videos it might look dull but in real life I have only seen people with bright glowy hennas.

RocketMansDaughter: OK, so back in the day, I used to get henna hair color when I went to the salon with my mom. They did put coffee in my mixture, and it actually gave my hair a beautiful rich mahogany color. It was in the 70s, and I was probably 14 or 15. Jump ahead to the 80s, and henna was replaced with 'Cellophane', a similar product but with a lot more color options...I went for a burgundy/violet look, and had the sides of my hair cut VERY short, and the top longer (do a Google search on the 'pyramid cut'.) I started going gray early, but only in one streak on the right side of my head, of course, right where I part my hair...I just turned 60, but work in technology and I am NOT ready to give in to the gray! The good thing is that the streak is almost pure white, so I'm now thinking about making that whole section of hair white (removing the cool red violet that I use to cover the gray), and then doing a fashion color...purple, blue, your new berry color or even lime green because that's my favorite color. I would no longer have to cover the white roots, just reapply the fashion color as it fafades. Any thoughts on that plan?

Les Meyer: Brad. In my early days, I used henna for my brown hair. My husband used to mix and apply the henna. He would say it smelled like a barn. It made my hair so shiny and had a hue of auburn highlights. I used it for many years. Sometimes the henna was bought from India, The best!

njkvibe: Henna does not only avoid damages, it’s literally a treatment, makes your hair more and more strong, healthy....

Amalie R.: Oh! I use henna! Ive been dyeing for a long time now. Its actually a super good conditioner and can be really natural looking and everyone is always surprised when they find out I'm not a natural redhead haha (my freckles help with that too) it has a lot of pros and cons and I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but I LOVE it for me personally. Once you use it you cant really go lighter or use dye though, so it's a long term decision if your hair grows slow like mine. It blends naturally with my dirty blond roots and I touch it up every 6 months or so

katja Böhm: actually you can go a bit lighter with henna. tried it myself. I use hanna because is natural and not damaging me nor my hair. used regular colour before, my mom is a hairdresser, so i knew quiet a bit and she did too. and we both looooove henna. would love to see that it would be teached in hairschool. recommend. :)

Alyssa_the _Noodle: Henna is amazing. I use a copper tone henna to bring my highlights back to life. It’s shiny, and if you do it right your hair should be detoxed and healthy.

Yasmine D: PSA: I have very curly hair, and I don’t trust hair dyes to not damage my curls. So I do henna to cover my grays and giving my hair a nice tint of red. My heritage is Arab so my mom has been helping me with it quite a bit lol

AthenaRowe: Henna doesn't only color the hair, it has a lot of strengthening and thickening properties which permanent hair color doesn't.

sam4ati: Henna is also used to make designs on your hand for holidays! Some of henna is made in tubes and you can make designs on your hand. You wait until its dry and then wash it off. Now you are left with such a pretty designnnnnn!

Brooke: I'm going to try it soon because after like 20 years of dying my hair, I developed a horrible reaction to EVERY type of hair dye. My face swelled up like a balloon. So wish me the best!

Sarah Gray: I have used the henna hair dye from Lush and it is a lot easier than the way the woman in the video did it! And fun fact, Lucille Ball used henna to get her red hair. ☺️

Joanna Lareau: henna smells sooooo good and made my hair so soft and pretty when I was using it, but it was so hard to lift out when I decided to go back to my natural blonde

Amanda: People use henna because it literally never fades, unlike traditional red hair dye. And it makes your hair super strong and healthy! You just gotta get the body art quality so it’s just the pure leaf

megha bisht: For darker shade, instead of regular water you can use tea water and leave it for overnight. People opt for henna because it's natural and free of chemical. It conditions the hair to another level.

Brenda Costa de Lima: The reason why I decided to use henna instead of regular hair color, even if I still had to dye it blonde first for the color to be vibrant orange as I liked it. Orange hair color fades so quickly to a very meh color, I was tired of retouching it all the time. The thing about henna is: it never ever ever ever ever fades, it's forever and it's amazing because you do it once and tadah, you're a redhead forever <3 Not to mention my hair was never as soft and shiny as it was while I used henna. Love this thing, even if it is a lot of work.

Marie Baker: I've been using henna on my hair for over 10yrs. I started because I was getting rashes on my scalp from hair colour. Henna makes my hair so strong and healthy

Shahd Al Nuaimi: I use henna not just for colouring its good it makes the hair smoother stronger and shiny Talking about natural henna that only comes with in color(red) no additives

R: Henna, for us Arabs, is like a hair treatment not only for coloring (we add coconut powder and stuff).. and because the majority of us have dark hair henna doesn’t stain at all

Hamed Sadat: As an afghan we dye our hair with henna culturally because it existed long before dye. It is also really good for your hair and scalp.

Zelda Morgan: I used henna for a few years, trying to recapture my natural red when I was graying. Had some....interesting results sometimes. Just natural grey now. It wasbtoo much of a mess, for very uneven results

Bonnie Souter: An easier method for using henna is a "henna gloss" you basically mix a small amount of henna powder with conditioner for a kind of color enhancing conditioner/hair mask if you want to enhance any natural red tones in your hair while conditioning it. I do it occasionally, my hair is dark blonde so I don't need to leave it long to pick up a bit of red tint (usually 20 minutes). An interesting feature of henna is that about 3--4 days after treatment it goes darker and shinier (something to do with the henna oxidizing).

প্রতিবাদী মানুষ: I’ve used by taking the leaves from tree. Just water is fine for mixing. I made tattoo. The color stays around one month on skin. Fully natural. No side effect.

soupii: Brad: I am very gay however, there are some *big* things on her chest. Me: I see them too, Brad, see them.

Debbie CS: I’ve been using henna for a few years. I have my hairdresser do it because I don’t want to take the time. She makes it once I get there and it’s on my hair about the same time as the chemical color. It lasts on my hair about 4-5 months. I do it to cover my grays. I like henna because it’s non chemical.

Anna-Lena B: I used henna quite a lot when I was younger and it was super easy to use and apply. There is no way to mess it up. The one I used, you just mix it with hot water and that’s literally it. I’ve never had a hair dye give me such a natural ginger look and I loved it. I really did look like I was born a redhead

Monique Gebeline: Henna was the first ‘color’ I used in high school. It gave my hair the most beautiful shine and red highlights on my dark level 3 brown hair. I used to use the color ‘earth brown’ and it was $3 bucks God I’m old

oneplusnine: As long as I can remember my grand mother have had henna in her hair:))) I used it on my virgin dark hair twice and it turned so beautifulvinaceous/brown
