Hairdresser reacts to henna hair color!
video description
2. Mixing henna, I add vinegar to my henna mix and make it a little more liquid to ease the spreading of product.
3. I use 3 different shades on my hair to offer a natural variation in hair color to more closely resemble hair of different shades for a blended effect.
4. Anyone using henna cannot flip flop back and forth. Most of us love the natural red tones it offers our hair or have natiral red hair that is sporting a few greys we are just trying to blend in. This is not going for the huge change or shock value or bright colors you are usually looking for with your own work. We want the more muted and natural look.
5. After I mix a batch of henna I can freeze the rest in cubes and each time I need to touch up roots two cubes of each in a bowl sitting out overnight is all that is needed. I mix henna batches about 2 - 3 times per year.
6. The color difference was not that great for you because I think you were mistaken in application. Dry hair is always best and add a 1/4 cup of white vinegar to your mix. It helps speed up the process of mix to use.
7. If clients are trying to flip back and forth between the two types of dye, box and henna or bleach. they are asking for trouble. Henna is for those who are going to stick with henna as their source for adding rich tones or to cover greys.

Henna pigment goes in-between the scales of the hair and is like a mortar in-between bricks, it acts as a filler, so it makes the hair thicker, shinier and more resistant to breakage. It also builds-up on itself over time, the more you do henna, the deeper the color will be, and will last longer to the point that it could become permanent on some hair. It doesn't cause any damage to the hair unless there is additives to it (for example some black henna have oxidative agents that makes then act like chemical dyes, to be able to get the raven black color, otherwise it conditions the hair beautifully (some people actually do neutral henna as a haircare. So if someone is committed to a color and doesn't care about lifting some tone up, this is an incredible, damage-free alternative. This is in general greatly recommended for very long hair and curly hairs, as you want to keep your locks strong because the turn-over on the hair can take ages.
And I would add that you are totally wrong when it comes to creating nuances with henna. It's like for chemical dyes, depending on the mix ratio of red henna, neutral henna and indigo powder etc. you can create various color from venetian blond, strawberry blond to red, chocolate brown, black etc.

Clicked on this video to learn more from a professional standpoint about my parents homecountry's traditions when it comes to hair coloring, so it was very disappointing to see this video and the attitude. It missed the largest part of henna users, not just demographically but their know-how. I mean, even I know that supply and ingredient is very key here, and best to be familiar to regions aswell. Its like knowing wine. A long list geared to marketing towards vegan and hypernatural consumers isn't going to be as informative as actually having knowledge of the product itself, since it is an herb first and foremost.
I know that from a chemical standpoint hair dyes are designed in a way that targets a very precise result and thus they are a completely different class/family/category of knowledge and useage for hairdying, but there is no need to be this dismissive of the unknown just because you've learned to apprechiate the work that goes into chemical dyes. It actually is possible to learn to apprechiate Henna aswell, oncce you learn more about it, too.

As a natural curly redhead who has some white hair, I use 100% natural henna (with no metals) because it is the only thing that coats the white hairs and doesn't wash out after a few weeks. I CANNOT find a dye (at home or from a salon) that stays in my hair and covers the white! I have literally spent thousands at salons from professionals who swear they know how to color red hair and they just destroy my hair and then it washes out a month later. Henna looks like my natural color, doesn't wash out or fade, and when I reapply, it layers over previous applications flawlessly so it looks natural. AND my hair is soft, shiny, and healthy. I've been using it for 10 years now and will never go back.

My mom used henna a lot.
Last time (more recently) we were told at the store henna doesn't work very well if at all on grey hair.
Her hair turned bright red i swear
Anyway when I've talked to my mom about why she uses henna instead of literally any other haircolour things she says it's because it's more natural and better for the hair
I personally only ever used it once cuz we had some and she let me try (maybe when i was like 7 or 8) it definitely smells different from other types of haircolour.
From what I remember it smells better but at the same time some haircolour dyes smell alright too tho it's def better than bleach

I've been using henna for years and i looooove it. I've tried different color mixes until i found the perfect one for me and i wouldn't change that for any hair dye. My hair is so healthy and shiny, and actually lighter than my natural color, and i don't make it complicated with coffee or any additives. Also it covers my many grey hairs.
It looks much more like a natural color than any hair dye and i don't know anyone who went back to chemical dye after trying this.
I think it's a pity professionals don't learn how to use it because it can be so easy to use and give great results.

As Indian this video bothered me. We use henna a lot, I have great memories of making henna designs on my hands and watching my mom dye her hair with henna. She never had any problems with it. In our culture and probably Arabic culture too, theres a literally a henna ceremony where the bride gets a henna design on her hands. Watching him call it poopy mud well that wasnt a great feeling. Henna is best used on darker hair colors and was traditionally used by Asians and Africans, who usually have dark hair. Their hair is obviously going to take it differently.

Brad literally goes out of his way to research so many things and be inclusive to so many people. and the one time he just does something out of pure curiosity, y'all flood the comments with disapproval. talking about his attitude and how you expected him to be uneducated. Instead of just informing him and ultimately informing many others that read the comments. Like can y'all not just teach without shade, expecting someone to be perfect will lead to nothing but disappointment. NOT TO MENTION half of y'all are contradicting each other on the subject.

I had treated my hair with henna for years and I must admit it does give a beautiful shiny vibrant red that no artificial color can create. It's probably not seen in the camera but it's stunning irl. The color is not wearing off ever. However when you use it all the time it dries your hair badly. Once I got tired of being redhead it became a nightmare to change it. Also, it acts unpredictably when you try to cover it, you can end up with ugly green shade. The only way to get rid of henna is to cut it all off.

I use henna dye on my hair, I have natural dark hair with red tones, and the henna brings it out, it also isn't as damaging as a lot of other color treatments, just make sure you condition after, henna good henna does not have a lot of chemicals in it that are harmful, also, henna does not face like regular hair dyes like demi and even certain permanent dyes so if you want really nice natural red hair henna is the way to go. Mine is black but in the sunlight you can tell its a very deep red

Using Henna on hair make hair stronger that why it's react super weird when u try using chemical after using henna on hairs especially bleaching would be prblm, but if u want to stick to natural henna is best, but switching to chemical might prblm to ur hairs as henna protecting ur hair, if u wanna switch to chemical wait few months till ur new hair grows then its easy to apply chemicals.

the 3rd video is fake. henna doesnt give such color
in India, just a decade back, most women used henna. whether to improve hair s overall health or to cover greys.
one of the reasons why Indian women hv such thick n long hair. its bcuz of our traditional practices!
. n natural products r always more beneficial than chemicals anyway

My mom used a light copper brown henna on me at 12 years old but it was NOTHING like this. It was bigen henna from Walmart and it looked terrific. Stunk nasty and washed out easy as hell (especially in warm water) but it was my first experience with red hair. I ended up switching to permanent dye at 13 or so and had auburn hair for 5 years

I would say I honestly prefer henna because its more friendly to the environment, although my experience with henna is that it turns your hair reddish (mind you, they told me it would be black) so that was a bummer. I would love to have different colors of henna because I LOOOVED the experience even tho it wasn't the color I wanted.
