Red Raj

I purchased Rajasthani for myself and Red Raj for my daughter, based on other reviews. In the past when I've used different brands of henna, I never received the color change I was looking for. For me, I received the same results with this henna. My gray hair is now a rusty orange color, not the total burgundy that I was going for. My daughter's hair was lighter than mine. The Red Raj only turned the tips of her ends a reddish color, while the hair shaft is darker. We both have African American 4c, low porosity hair. I used the tea only method which may not work for our hair type. I will continue to use henna for the other benefits that it has, but my daughter doesn't want to use henna anymore. I hope I can find a better way to color so she won't go back to chemicals. It would also help if reviewer's hair type was revealed so we could make a more informed choice.

HS Reply: Thank you for purchasing our products and for your review. Gray hairs require several applications to build the tone up to Burgundy. It takes several applications and won't color it exactly Burgundy the exact first time. Henna is a plant based dye and not a chemical color. I'd highly recommend you call us or set up a one on one consultation with Khadija so we can see how henna can work better for you. The main key with henna is being consistent. One application alone won't be enough as it has to build and layer to deepen in tone. What is the tea method only? We have a lot of clients with your hair type and texture that Khadija has colored in the hair salon. We really hope you'll reach out to us directly for further assistance. Your name wasn't left so we have no one of knowing who you are. Thank you again.

The first time I used henna it was not from Hennasooq and I felt some type of way about the results...feeling very sensitive, itchy and tingly. After that, researched more about henna from website called Sunrise something which in turn into a love affair. Then stumbled across hennasooq...let me just say, from then on it became pure bliss!

I can't say enough good things about Red Raj.
Prior to finding Henna Sooq through serendipity, I'd been using henna from other sources that didn't contain as much pigment and in hindsight was probably not vetted the way this has been.
I follow Khadija on Instagram and have seen her walking the talk of finding quality ingredients and purchasing them from hardworking people who have been doing the work for generations. Henna Sooq is continuing the tradition and doing a fine job of it!
The results I see from these humble packets of plants is awesome. Beautiful color payoff that doesn't really fade all that much even after 6-8 weeks; much, MUCH less hair strand breakage on brushes, combs or gathered from the shower grate during weekly tub-scrubs.
I had given up on color-treating my hair, because red dyes are so high maintenance, and the colorists in salons would have to use a ton of bleach, lighteners and whatever else comes out of those bottles and buckets to strip my natural dark brown color out to deposit it. Not only was my hair fried afterwards, I developed eczema on my scalp several years ago which made putting anything chemical on my skin a big no-no. I hadn't tried any kind of color treatment until early this year after reading about Ayurvedic beauty and Moroccan and middle eastern beauty traditions. This led me to give henna a try, for both the color and the additional benefits.
Red Raj outperforms the salon treatments I paid out the wazoo for and leaves my hair and scalp better than they were before applying. I mix the powder with Bragg's apple cider vinegar and a bit of lemon juice (not too much!) to help it deposit that color. It shows up so well on my hair, and it looks awesome in natural light! I receive so many compliments about my hair's color and how healthy it looks, and each time I tell that person it's henna they're flabbergasted. Then I send them here to see for themselves. ; )

Beautiful henna and fresh product!

Fast shipping! I only use Henna sooq. Gorgeous, rich tones. I mix mine with decaf black tea and add amla powder at the end. I leave it on for 4-8 hrs. Love it!
