Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel. Today we are going on a journey together
we are going to dye my hair. If you guys have been watching me for a while, either
on one of my previous channels or on my vlog channel, you know that I have
probably had most natural hair colors under the sun. I have had extremely dark
hair that was borderline black; I have had platinum blonde hair; multiple levels
of brown in between, and I have ventured into the more unnatural colors when my
hair was blonde on bits and pieces of my hair. I don't think I ever dyed my entire
head of fun color. But I think out of all of the colors I've ever colored my hair,
my favorite of all time was red. Deep down inside I want to be a redhead so
badly. I have wanted that my entire life. This is my natural hair color
I haven't colored it for probably a few years now if I play in the Sun enough it
actually pulls a little bit red but I alas I'm not a redhead but today that
changes we are going to make new redhead so like I mentioned I have actually
colored my hair red in the past when my hair was red I could not take a shower
without it bleeding out a little bit and I think that's a pretty typical
experience for most people who are not natural redheads but there is one way to
get red hair and have it not fade over time and that way is coloring your hair
with henna it is considered probably one of the most permanent colors you can
color your hair and that's actually exactly why I wanted to give it a try
I want the red hair back but I don't want it to fade
that's where Hannah comes in for those of you who don't know henna is literally
just ground-up leaves henna comes from the plant called
lawsonia inermis I'm probably butchering that name but that's where it comes from
and it has been used for thousands of years for body art and to color your
hair it is not capable of lifting your hair color you will not be able to
bleach your hair with henna it can only deposit color so it essentially stains
your hair so you can't be super super dark brown and color your hair with
henna and be strawberry blonde that's not really how it works it can only
deposit color it can only stain your hair color but because of that it's
actually a really healthy way to color your hair and
I have never colored my hair with henna before so we are going to learn together
let's get started so the hemant that I'll be using today is by light Mountain
natural this is just in the color red you can identify it because of the Fox
on the front I personally got this henna off of Amazon and I really like that
because it comes in a three pack for like a grand total of about fifteen
dollars I recently saw one package of this particular henna brand at a health
food store and it was going for like eight bucks a package so I think I got a
pretty good deal this particular brand of henna is linked in the description
bar below if you want to go check it out but no matter what kind of henna you're
using no matter what brand make sure you read the ingredients label because you
only want one ingredient in your henna and that is pure henna this ingredient
box only has law so Nia inner mess in it which is pure henna leaf powder that is
exactly what you want if you are coloring your hair with just henna light
Mountain natural actually makes henna blends so depending on which box you
pick up from this particular company you might notice that it has henna in it as
well as indigo or cassia all of which are completely natural dyes that are
just prominent in nature and have been used for thousands of years to dye
clothing and skin and hair but in this case because I'm wanting a red
I just want henna and of course no matter what henna you're using make sure
you read the instructions instead of water as the mixing medium I will
actually be using tea this is because tea has a lower pH it's a little bit
more acidic and because it does have a lower pH than pure distilled water it
will actually give your hair a more golden hue versus a more burgundy hue
I'm going for the golden hair look so that's exactly what I want but if you do
want a more true red color or even a more burgundy or deep purplish tone I've
linked a couple recipes in the description bar below where you can
figure out how to achieve that when you're mixing up
Hanna I'm also squeezing the juice of a whole lemon into my tea just to add a
bit more acidity again for the golden tones that I'm aiming for then when I'm
ready to go I'm just going to mix my henna with the tea that I brewed the
consistency that I was aiming for was kind of a really thick pancake batter
consistency or like kind of stirred up yogurt and then when everything was all
mixed together I just covered it with some saran wrap and pressed it against
the surface of the henna mixture so that way no moisture could escape in order to
activate and actually dye your hair henna has to kind of sit and basically
cure for a couple hours I let my bowl sit for about three or four hours once
it was done I actually went upstairs and grabbed a little bit of leftover hair
from my hairbrush and just applied the henna to it and wrapped it in a bit of
saran wrap just to see kind of what color I was gonna end up with I let that
sit in a warm place for another two and a half or three hours and rinsed it up I
was pretty happy with the color that I was gonna be getting from my strand test
so I went ahead and started to get my battle station ready I laid down towels
everywhere because henna is notoriously messy and this particular henna
recommended you apply it on clean towel dried hair so I took a shower
i shampooed my hair and I dried it just a little bit i sectioned my hair off and
I applied some lotion to my hairline and around my ears and on my neck so that
way the henna wouldn't stain my skin in those areas and then I just started
painting it on whenever I dye my hair I like to focus
on the roots because I find that roots are kind of the hardest spot to get from
me so I started with the hardest spot which was basically at the nape of my
neck little by little I took tiny sections
and painted the roots for just a couple inches or so down the length of my hair
and basically repeated that process all over my head it's kind of hard to
describe so I just recommend watching this bit
when my roots were all done I was not about to paint the entire length of my
hair with that little brush so I just put on some gloves and I went to town
literally plopping it on the length of my hair and running it through with my
fingertips it was much faster this way and I recommend doing it that way
with the leftover henna that was left in the bowl I kind of massaged it through
my hair just to make sure everything was really supersaturated then I wrapped my
hair up on top of my head with a bit of saran wrap wrapped it up in a towel and
I actually just went to bed making sure that my pillow was covered with a towel
beforehand just in case I had any accidents all right so it is 10:30 in
the morning now I started the dyeing process at about 9:30 last night and
then I just went to bed I tried to sleep on it but it was so heavy and awkward on
my head to the egg I ended up getting a lot of neck pain as I was trying to
sleep throughout the night so I got up and took a shower and rinsed everything
out at about 12:30 or 1:00 o'clock in the morning so the henna was sitting on
my head in my hair completely saturating it for about three to four hours which
is plenty long enough to get color payout so so this is the color that I
ended up with after about eight or nine hours later the funny thing about henna
is that the full true color of the henna itself and how it will stain your hair
doesn't actually start to appear for at least a couple days after you dye it so
even right now it's a little bit orange in spots particularly up by my scalp
because I'm sure my scalp got stained a little bit the skin staining will fade
after a few days and at the same time the color will develop an even deeper
color so like I said this is a few hours after the dyeing process this is the
color that I've ended up with so far we're gonna check in in a couple days
and see what the color looks like then okay so this is a couple days after I
have colored my hair you can see that my roots are a little bit oily I have not
actually washed it with shampoo since I've colored it I have taken showers
since I've colored it I've rinsed everything out with a little bit of
conditioner and some just warm water but I haven't actually washed it with soap
yet just because I wanted to make sure that the color was settling as it should
and I'll probably actually take a shower tonight with shampoo and we'll see how
the color payout is tomorrow but so far I'm actually really really happy with
the color payout I love the color I have gotten so far and
roots are definitely a lot less orange which is fantastic I even colored my
eyebrows a little bit which might look a little bit orange because I actually did
them a day after I handed my hair so there's still a little bit more orange
here than there is compared to my scalp but now my eyebrows match my hair so I'm
happy with that we'll probably do one more update once I wash my hair so we
can kind of compare colors once everything is complete but this is after
three days of not washing it after henna in it and this is the color payoff okay
so I think this is the final update for my hair this is what it looks like after
I didn't wash it yesterday but the day before yesterday so it has been
shampooed my scalp is no longer a weird orange color and I honestly really
really like the color that I've ended up with it's a lot warmer but it still
looks pretty natural I've noticed barely any bleeding in the shower at all I
think what I have noticed is just a little bit coming out when I was like
shampooing it out for the first time and I haven't noticed it since which is
amazing my hair finally smells a little bit more neutral something that I didn't
expect when dyeing my hair with henna was that it smelled a little bit like a
barn for a little bit it now no longer smells like a barn which is amazing yeah
so this has been my henna experience my first time dyeing my hair with henna
like I said I'm really happy with the results you guys can feel free to follow
