I began my Henna hair color journey in December with RedRaj. I had to switch to Moroccan Henna shortly afterward, due to supply issues. I'm loving that Moroccan Henna takes less time for dye release, and the color is comparable. I'm still getting used to using Henna for my hair, I'm a complete mess with it, but I love it! My hair feels amazing, looks shinier and feels healthier.
I am almost 100% white from my front hairline to my crown, so my outgrowth is usually pretty obvious. Not gonna lie, doing a root touch-up is tricky. I have been using 75/25 (Henna/Indigo), but this combo just isn't quite dark enough for my roots, and I'm afraid to go any darker than the level I'm at now. My roots turn out coppery and the outgrowth from last time usually becomes a closer match to the rest of my hair color. I usually have to go back over my roots with Indigo - and I hate that. By this time in the process I'm ready to be done. I'm chalking these re-do's up to me being new at this and still trying to find my "recipe." Regardless, the outcome makes the challenges worth it.
Another thing to note is that regular hair dye usually fades over time, and because my hair is white, the ends lighten before the mid-lengths. With Henna, that has not been an issue for me. The only time I've done all over color is when I started with RedRaj and again when I switched to Moroccan. The rest of the time, I've been coloring my roots and some of the outgrowth.
Despite the learning curve, I'm all about this. I've been changing a lot of my beauty and skin care over to products with natural ingredients, so the addition of Henna hair color to my regimen has met that need wonderfully. I highly recommend HennaSooq products and spending time on the videos and how-to's because they help so much. I am a very happy & satisfied client!
