Hey guys, it's your girl Vanessa here, welcome back to another video. I do apologize about my voice guys, I'm down with a cold but I'm otherwise fine. So today's video is basically about how I dyed my hair. I finally, finally tried Henna. So in today's video I will be showing you basically how I tried it for the first time and what my thoughts are. So I'll suggest that you keep on watching. So we're going to start first of all by making the Henna. So I bought this from Amazon, they came in a pack of two with Henna and Indigo. So I'm using about a tablespoon of Henna just to dye the front of my hair. Now I actually happened to have made a lot because I do not actually need all of it. Now I'm using coffee here to mix the Henna. But apparently you can also use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. So let me know if you've tried Henna before and what you've used to dye sort of to mix the Henna with. But black coffee just work fine really. I just use instant coffee and that's pretty much it. So I'm just popping that in and just stirring until I get like a nice kind of thick consistency. So not too thick, I'll show you guys a consistency in a bit. Now I decided to add one of my DIY oils because I just didn't know whether this was going to be drying on my hair. So I just thought I would add some oil to this just to help with moisture and also not making like the end sort of the edges kind of rough. Because I don't know, I wasn't sure how this was going to react. So I just thought I will add this and it worked absolutely fine. So you're supposed to let this sit for about three hours or overnight before you apply. So in this part of the video guys, I'm showing you how I'm applying it. So after setting around for a little bit, you can see the colour is a bit different. So it has got slightly darker in colour. So I decided to transfer a little bit of that into this container. So I could use it to dye my hair and then the rest I popped in the freezer. So that next time I want to use this, I won't have to make it again. I don't know whether it's going to work because it's frozen but I'll try and let you guys know if it works or if you try this before, let me know if it worked. So essentially these are what my grays look like. You can see I've got so much grays like it's crazy. Now I'm going to dye just the front of my hair guys. I'm not going to do like the rest of my hair although I do have some grays inside my hair as well but I'm not too bothered by those so I'll probably just leave it alone. So I'm just sort of focusing just on the front of my hair. Now if you're using Hainar, I would suggest that you use gloves just because I found that it did stain. So first of all when I was stirring it, some of it actually happened to touch my finger and it just stained my hand essentially. So it's better if you use some help gloves just to prevent that. So I'm just working this on my edges. Now you are supposed to apply Hainar on clean hair. So what I've done, I went and I shampooed just the front of my hair just so I could get rid of all the oils and dirt and all of that before actually going in with the Hainar. Now I do not want to shampoo my whole hair because it's not a wash day for me. I just wanted to just get rid of the grays. So you can see that I'm done with my hair. So I just want to do it. So I'm just going to do it with my hair. So I just want to do it with my hair. So I just want to do it with my hair. So at this point guys, I have finished applying the Hainar and this is what it looks like. Now I must say it felt really good working this through my hair. It was very nice and smooth. I don't know if it's because I mixed it with some oil but it felt really nice on the hair and I really really loved it. So I'm just going to time my hair and pop it in this plastic bag on just for heat. It's just also to allow it to do its job really. So I left it for about three hours. Again you can leave this overnight guys. So this one looks like three hours later. Again you can see that the Hainar has sort of slightly intensified in color I think. So I'm just going to go ahead and rinse this off with just warm water. Now it's suggest that you don't shampoo your hair guys because the Hainar is still oxidizing on the hair. That's for my research. So this one looks like after I've rinsed it off guys and I must say I love this color. Like literally when I saw this I was like oh god I should have just done my whole hair and probably just left it this color because I actually do love the blonde sort of. Not blonde it's ginger isn't it? Like that gingerly color that you get after using the Hainar. So I'm going to go ahead now and make the in to go. So I'm using the in to go powder like I said guys these two came together. I will see if I can find a link for you guys in case you want to get it. Let me know in the comments section down below. So again I make too much than I needed and again I just had to store it. So for this you're supposed to mix of just warm water. Although there are some that suggest that you need to add a bit of salt. So I'm going to say that initially I just mixed it with warm water like this and the dye didn't really take up really well. I'll show you guys later in a little in a few minutes essentially. So I felt like it didn't really take up the my hair didn't take up to dye really well. So I just mixed it with this essentially. So I applied it to my hair. I think I left it for like four to five hours and then when I reached it off it wasn't quite as dark as I wanted it to be essentially. So there are other people that suggest that you do add a bit of salt because it just helps with you know your hair actually taking the darker color quicker. So I'll show you guys anyways as the video goes. Now I must say I absolutely love this color. I think one day I will probably just use Henna on my hair without the indigo just so I can have this color guys. I don't know who you think I think it looks very nice. So again I'm using my gloves here guys to work this on my hair. Now I don't think this actually stains. Yeah I don't think it stains so you can use your hands if you want to. I mean without the gloves but it's better to use gloves to be honest because if you've got nails it can get stuck in it. So essentially it's just the same thing and I'm just working it through my edges again just making sure that I cover every strand of hair with this indigo. So this is what it looks like after I finish applying it guys. This is my first application. I also think that I made the indigo a bit lighter in consistency so I don't know if that's also why it didn't quite darken my hair as much as I want today. But anyways this is what it looked like the first time that I've done it. Now I let this sit in my hair for about 4 hours. I'm not mistaken and I went ahead and went to stay with just warm water and this is my results after the first application. To be honest it's not bad but you can still see I do have some strands that are still ginger and I was looking for like a nice dark color. So yeah I wasn't quite happy with this and I just decided to make the indigo again and this time I had a bit of salt and also not make it quite as light as I did before and I applied it again and this is what I have. Now this one guys I was really tired it was late at night and I just didn't want to have to wait around again so I went to sleep with this on my hair and this is what it looks like in the morning. Now the one thing I would say about this process is that it can be a bit lengthy but I love love love the results. Thank you so much guys for those of you who actually suggested this. I really really appreciate it. So this one my hair looks like in the morning. You can see the indigo has dried on my hair and also it's got darker. You can tell that my hair is definitely darker as well but there's still some bits that are looking sort of you know ginger-y kind of color and that's fine anyway so I'm just going to go ahead and raise this off again with just warm water and conditioner. So this is what it looks like guys after raising it you can see on my face that it worked this time away. I was literally like so happy. Initially my hair is looking really nice like it really took up the dye although I still have some bits that are you know not quite as dark as I would have liked it to be but I'm satisfied with this result to be honest and my hair didn't feel hard at all. It was very nice and soft and yeah I just I just puffed it really. I don't know what I have in try this you know it's such a long time but yeah it's absolutely great and it works and it's something that I will definitely try again. So this is it for me today guys I do hope that you've enjoyed watching the video and if you did please please give me a thumbs up.
