 Brad we gotta go come on. It's if we're about to be live. Come on. Let's go Come on. Why are you always like this? You're living always pulling me. It's like sit down. We're live in three seconds. I was like shopping and you guys took my way from Chanel and I was literally shopping and I was already recording. You guys What is up beautiful and thank you for being here today. Oh girl Okay, so we're watching some henna videos and if you don't know what henna is then that is understandable because honestly I don't know that much about it either because I have never in my life used it. Would probably not recommend it exactly but we're gonna see what would happen in these videos because I have actually never watched somebody color their hair with henna before. This is totally new to me probably new to a lot of you. It's basically a natural way of coloring your hair. It uses plant extracts to color your hair. We're gonna learn more about it in the actual way of coloring your hair with it today and I will talk to you more about my opinion on it in a second. But why don't we just do it. Let's get it started. Let's watch some people color their hair with henna and let's see how it goes. Let's do it. All right. Our first video is by a girl named plunder bunny. I love it. Love the uniqueness in that name. This is called dyeing my hair red with henna. Perfect. Let's watch it. Greetings boys girls and gender rebels. I'm Penny under us. Gender rebels? Yes. That's me. For a hair adventure specifically a henna hair adventure. Now I've been dyeing my hair my whole life but since about age five the very first time I dyed my hair was actually with henna. They begged my mom to allow me to dye my hair. Yes I live for this girl. And that's all natural so what am I doing? This is literally me. You guys can see behind the scenes of me when I'm not on camera. This is what I asked like. I'm just like okay so that is henna. That is henna color which she hasn't known at all. So henna itself is just a plant. It is a leaf that when dried deposits it. It looks like matcha and I love matcha so this is getting me excited. Ridiculous red dye. Henna itself is only red. Now I know what a lot of you are thinking what I've seen like black henna and brown henna and blonde henna. What are you talking about? Henna itself started as just red but then they started adding for example the plant indigo which is it's also just a plant and when it's dried it leaves deposit a ridiculous bright bright blue color. So they can make it into all different colors now. So she's mixing with this water hot water. It can result rather catastrophic occurrences especially the ones that have metals and stuff. This is the issue with henna and this is why a lot of hair stylists don't like it. When you color your hair with henna and then you go into a salon and you try and get you know your hair lightened or bleached or whatever sometimes it reacts really weird. I've had times where the foils will literally explode like they will become so large they'll almost explode on you which is so concerning but most of the time you ask the client you're like what's going on why is your hair doing this because this is not normal and they're like oh I use henna before and you're like oh so it really gets a bad rep in the hair industry because it's always like an issue for us to try and take it out. You can't color over it. It's just always a problem if you don't know how to deal with it. We're not taught how to use henna in hair school period so it's quite an interesting thing. Those on previously dyed hair can just absolutely break your hair and turn it like green. This is crazy. That's a hair color. It looks like green mud. However I could be wrong because I haven't experimented on this. This seems like so much work. I'm curious to know why these people decide to use henna instead of using hair color like regular demi permanent hair color because henna does not lift your hair. It is basically a demi permanent color. It only deposits color on top of your hair color so you're not going to have to lift it past the color you're at. You can only go darker. You can't go lighter with henna or you can change the tone of your hair color. So henna starts off this ridiculous bright green color and it actually smells very strongly of matcha. So oh I love matcha. You want to have a little bit of acidity mixed in with water. The acidity can be in the form of lemons or limes or vinegar, fresh brewed coffee or fresh brewed tea and I opted for the easiest option in my house which was fresh brewed coffee. You put coffee in with it? Anything that's acidic. This is mind-blowing. This is so strange. You just have to keep mixing the next step is actually letting the henna cure overnight. What? Hold up. So you have to make coffee, mix the s*** up, leave it overnight, then apply it to your hair and I'm pretty sure you have to wait a long time with it on your head. So this is a lot of work to literally not have damage in your hair even though like demi permanent hair color never damages your hair because it's not lifting at all. It's just a positive color. So I think I don't quite understand yet why people go with henna. These people probably don't have a lot of knowledge about real hair color because if they did I have no clue why they're using henna. That might just be me being ignorant and not really understanding this whole thing but that's my opinion. I don't know. But let's keep watching. Let's see. Let's see if we get a little more knowledge about this. So I left mine to actually cure overnight but as long as you leave for two hours it's fine. Okay. It gives you more color if you leave overnight. Okay. Wow. So you just like basically put mud on your head and mush it in. And you have a lot of hair slash are lazy. Spend a long time searching for your hair. Oh my god. Also look at those. Those are some. With henna as with all hair dye more is better. Sorry. I can't quite pay attention right now. I am very gay. However, there's some big things on our chests. Anyway, back to the hair. So we're putting this literally poopy mud on our hair and this is going to color it apparently. Red. Make sense to me. Wait. What? Something else to note about henna? It does actually take a few days to cure and that's after you've washed it out. So. Y'all are nuts. I'm sorry. You are henna girls. I don't know about this man. I don't know. This is a whole lot. Your hair has to cure. What? So you first have to mix it for three hours with coffee or lemon or whatever and then you have to let it sit overnight and then you have to put it on your head and it takes hours to sit in and then you have to let it cure till the color shows up. What happens to regular hair color? I want to know. Five hours is about the minimum amount of time that you want to do it. If you can sleep with it in your hair overnight that would be ideal. Also can we talk about the mess? I want to have this stuff stains. This just in. This is stressing me out. Remind me to never ever touch henna. Ever. Her white bathrooms. Oh. I'm scared for her. Ms. Blunder Bunny. Your chest is wild man. This is what I look like as a female. Just like in busting out of my shirt. Five hours and it still turned out ridiculously beautifully. So even if you don't have like a several day window to reserve for henna it should work out just fine. And yeah this was the end result. I am ridiculously happy with it. I think that the color is beautiful. You can see died at the laser because at about. Sorry I'm gathering my thoughts here. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. I'm gonna be honest Blunder Bunny. It doesn't look that different. And for that much work I would expect it to look like whoa. Like vibrant and gorgeous and soft and flowy and shiny. But it kind of just looks like it colored some spots. Some spots no. Some spots are like gray. Some spots are like orange. It looks very uneven. I'm gonna be honest. I just know for a fact if you use like permanent hair color it would be so vibrant and your hair would be so soft. And like reds in permanent hair color are just the prettiest thing ever. Oh like a nice red. There's nothing that feels more special to me. Like a nice ruby deep red. It's really pretty. So I don't know. For me it's that was not worth the effort. But hey we have a couple more videos to watch. Let's see if anybody else convinces me of this henna hair color. But I'm thinking probably not. Okay thank you Blunder Bunny. I'm sorry that I ripped your hair shreds. Love you so much. Live your extra life. All right. Okay so the next video is by Prey's on honor trolls. Another name I can't read. It's not just a weekly occurrence now. Okay this is called how to turn white or gray hair into black natural no chemicals hair dye step by step. Great. So we're mixing the same matcha situation again this muddy matcha which just looks so appetizing to me. I love my matcha. Any of my matcha lovers out there like with a girl. I don't know. Okay so this woman has a lot of gray hair and if you don't already know gray hair is very hard to cover because basically white hair is unpigmented hair. There's nothing inside of it. So you have to replace all the primary colors within the strand in order to get a really pigmented nice even coating on the hair follicle. Basically she's gonna have to fill the haircut in a sort of way with think she's gonna do orange and then she has to go over that with black. That probably doesn't make any sense to you guys who aren't hair colorists but to those of you who are that's what's going on. That actually kind of looks a little bit like hair color like really gross green. I don't understand how that turns orange. That's so like weird to me. So she's basically filling the gray with orange. Wow. It does look kind of fun though. It's like playing with mud. Like I kind of like that. Okay. Okay. So yeah so she filled the hair with orange like I said to give it pigment back. Wow that is very orange. All right so we're now putting indigo on top of the orange in order to turn all of her hair black which seems like this is gonna work. She just filled the hair and now she's gonna deposit more black tones onto it so pretty nifty. I mean it's pretty cool that you can do this all with natural plants. Oh my god that stuff looks so bizarre though. Weird man. Wow it's dark. Science man. It's cool. Wow that looks actually pretty good. I'm excited to see what the outcome of this one is. Whoa. Okay it completely covered her gray hair which is pretty cool that a plant can do that. Like that's pretty impressive. But here's the thing. If you're not a colorist you probably wouldn't notice this but with henna you you're not choosing the types of tones that go in the dark color. You're not choosing like hey I want some warmth in there. I want a little bit of cool in there. I want a little bit of red. I want a little bit of this whatever. That's how you formulate hair colors in a professional setting. Like my hair like this is not just blonde like you know as a colorist we don't just call it blonde we call it like an ashy blonde which is you know a color that has more blue tones inside the color mixture. That way it turns your hair more white gray instead of like yellowy white. We mix in more purple and blue tones or one of the other in order to make blonde hair more ash colored. That's because purple cancels out yellow. Basically you can't do that with henna. You get kind of like a one size fits all thing and to me this looks super inky and if you don't know what inky is either this is a very discreet. This is a very um technical video I'm filming today. If you don't know what inky means it's literally like paper with ink on it like it just looks very dense and like there's no shine to it. There's no quality. There's no like I don't know. There's no lust to it. It just looks kind of like black was just put on the hair. It just doesn't look like professional to me. Anyways it does cover gray it's kind of cool. We have one more to watch this one. I saw the thumbnail and her hair looks pretty cool so Crystal Collins is gonna dye her hair red with henna and hopefully this might be the last one and the best one so let's watch. Love it. Love that. Love that. I've got my shirt that I don't really care about even though it's a Dr. Who shirt. Shamey. Dr. Who will be not be happy about this. Okay we're coloring. We're going in. We're doing it honey. Let's see if this is finally a good henna job. So we are going in with that henna again it looks like muddy and that's fine whatever you're into mad whatever you're into. I mean doesn't wear it and so is this girl apparently. I just really want to see the outcome of this. I don't even care. We've learned enough about henna today. I just want to know what happens to her hair. It looks a little more red than other people's. I heard five girl. I heard five somewhere else. Five hours is about you want to do it. Okay so we finally have it revealed. Oh wow. I just washed this out of my hair. You get right afterwards and it should be like a t-shirt. Whoa okay. This is how it looks and I am very excited because this is the color I've been going for for like. Okay that looked really red. I don't know if her settings on our camera are like correct true to color because that is so red but again she definitely missed spots like she says and it looks a little like weirdly weird variations of color going on but whoa. This is how it looks on her. I want to see it in the sun. Show me in the sun. Show me in the sun. Whoa. Okay one kind of very pretty. I'm not gonna lie that looks very nice. You're still not getting the vibrancy you would have gotten with salon hair color. You're just not and you're probably not gonna ever and also she didn't even pick that color like she just wanted red and it just gives her whatever red reacts with her hair. She said she gets a different color every time which is so weird and like aren't you a little scared of that like is that a little like I don't know. All right Crystal thank you for that. It was a little quick little video. I just wanted to see something that was like really bright and vibrant with henna and honestly look decent look decent. So I think what I learned today is that henna is f***ing weird man and I will not be using it anytime soon. I'm basically less convinced than I was before watching that it's a good thing to use your hair. I mean I have to say not a good idea would not recommend just use a demi permanent color. It's not gonna damage your hair at all. It just deposits color. It doesn't lift. The thing that breaks your hair off is lifting. It's lifting. I just don't know what the point of henna is and um I don't know and all you henna lovers out there come for me. Come for me honey. I'm ready. Not my thing and if it's your thing go for it. Live your extra henna life if you want to. I don't know. I don't care but anyways you guys don't forget to follow Exmondo on Instagram.
