Fresh Moroccan Henna Powder

I have been buying from HennaSooq for a couple years now and have ALWAYS been MORE than pleased with your products. This henna was grainy, it didn’t mix well and it left my hair extremely dry. I’m not new to the henna game or using this particular powder. I truly believe something was wrong with this batch. I will definitely buy again because I love the company but I thought you should know

I love this henna for creating dark chocolatey browns. I mix the dry powders-60% indigo, 35% Moroccan henna and 5% cassia obovata—w/hot water from the tap and I apply the mix immediately to my hair. I don’t dye release it. I don’t wait. I only mix as much as I can apply to my hair within 20 minutes. I then wrap my hair in Saran Wrap to keep it moist and I sit under a bonnet dryer for 20-30 mins. Then I cover the hair wrapped in plastic with a wool winter cap to keep the heat in. I leave it on for 2 1/2 hours and the mix dye releases right there on my hair. This dyes my gray hair a gorgeous dark chocolate color. I love it! I would highly recommend this henna if you are looking to create browns and blacks in one step. It releases a nice coppery color that gives the indigo something to adhere to but it’s not so red that it overpowers the indigo in any way. You don’t get any red poking out from underneath the brown or black after a couple of shampoos. And this method, mixing the dry powders thoroughly (without adding acid to the henna, which indigo does not like), adding hot tap water and applying immediately (indigo can only permanently bond with hair within the first 20 to 30 minutes after it is mixed with water. After that, it’s only a temporary dye. Waiting for indigo to dye release 30 minutes and then applying it to hair ensures that it’s going to be volatile, unstable and that it will wash out. You need to get indigo on your hair as soon as you mix it with water. Let it dye release on your hair.), is the way to go. I’ve tried acidifying the Henna and letting indigo dye release for 20 to 30 minutes before applying it. It does not work out well. Unreliable. Trust me, try it this way if you want to create beautiful brunette colors. You will love the color. And this is a much simpler process.

Best henna around. My thin strands love it. My hair looks healthy and is strong.

The color is nice but it is very grainy. I naturally have long, curly (3b/3c) hair, that is dark brown with many grey streaks. I have tried all of the henna's from Henna Sooq multiple times over the years. I have hennaed my hair at least two dozen times. My favorite henna is Red Raj because it dyes my hair a deep red color, covers my greys, and is easy to wash out. Rajasthani is my second favorite. Moroccan henna is a nice color, but it is a nightmare to wash out. It takes at least 3 or 4 separate washes before I can completely remove the thousands of grainy particles from my hair. I have been using it mixed with a pack of Rajasthani because Red Raj was out of stock. I normally use a packet of Rajasthani with a packet of Red Raj, and it washes out in a single wash. I am giving this product 3 stars purely because the challenges I face when washing it out of my hair due to the grainy texture.

HS Reply: We apologize, this batch for Moroccan henna didn't have the hand sifting it typically would and this mainly due to COVDI19 and short staff in Morocco, because not as many workers could assist. We definitely have let them know and that this won't happen again. We will improve the sift of this powder.

First time user, the powder was grainy and after washing my hair (3) times, I continued to find particles on my scalp. I am experiencing issues with color that may be due to my resistant greys. However I am not one to give up so I plan to reapply Indigo alone to hopefully eliminate this awful penny-red color.
