How to Henna Long African American Hair, part 1

[MsMathBeauty]

@TheMakeupvirgin.... Adding orange juice or lemon juice is too acidic for hair.

This is pretty good! I love henna, my mom been doing it for me since i was 13. i do it once a month and i have curly afro hair. Henna is in my culture and tradition dating back to the pharaohs and i dont think you need all those ingredients in there. What we do is buy henna thats red, add olive oil and some vingear and water and thats it. keep it as natural as possible. your meant to leave it in for 4hrs or more or you can do it at night and wash it out in the morning..the longer the better :)

my hair is naturally black...can i use henna to achieve a brownish color?

[aeRalization]

u didnt use any water in your henna?

[TheMakeupvirgin]

@aeRalization water causes the red color to fade to yellowish-orange. So the best way is to use orange juice or lemon juice in your henna.

@TheMakeupvirgin Is it true that henna makes your hair grow longer?

Why do we need to let the henna paste sit for nine hours? I'm going to henna my (black) hair for the first time and the pack says that I can directly apply it onto my hair. Anyway, thanks for all parts of your henna tutorial. Yours are among the most informative, useful and amazing henna videos.

[TheMakeupvirgin]

True henna has to release its color slowly, this is why you allow it to sit in a warm place covered with plastic. When it has gone from green to brown it can be applied to your hair. Remember to cover you hair with plastic to keep the henna moist it will harden if you dont cover it and hard henna is not as easily rinsed out as soft clay like henna. Use lots of cheap conditioner after you rinse the henna from your hair. Have fun!

[todo5000]

[flee2008]

what is henna and where do u get it from?

[berklia]

why the cinnamon?

[TheMakeupvirgin]

Some people say cinnamon adds more red color, some even say red wine adds color. The cinnamon makes your hair smell soooo nice...

This video didn't play for me right now, but I read your info., and this is a lot of work! And Time-consuming. But I plan to do it because I've heard good things regarding healthy hair and covering gray. So, hopefully, part 2 will play for me. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I hear you on how much henna is needed...300 grams is impressive! My hair is pretty long and takes a little more 200 grams right now. I hope to get to your length one day! :)

[TheMakeupvirgin]

LOL...Yeah, My daughter thought she smelled Peach cobbler, I guess that was the cinnamon.
