🌺 Common Issues with Henna Hair Color

Henna is known for its natural and vibrant colors, but sometimes, common issues can arise. Let's explore some of these issues and find solutions.

1️⃣ Orange Roots and Fading Color

A frequently encountered problem is the occurrence of orange roots and color fading. If you're using Moroccan henna, it tends to have a shorter lifespan when frozen and reused. For the best color results, it's essential to use Moroccan henna as a fresh paste. Red Raj henna, on the other hand, provides a stronger and longer-lasting red color. However, if you want to enhance the red tint, try eliminating additional powders like cassia and focus solely on the Moroccan henna powder.

2️⃣ Moroccan Henna vs Red Raj Henna

While Moroccan henna gives a beautiful copper tint, the red intensity of Red Raj henna remains unparalleled. Moroccan henna powder is comparable, but the color payoff of Red Raj is higher. We understand the demand for Red Raj henna, and we are working diligently to ensure it's back in stock soon. Stay tuned!

3️⃣ Using Additional Powders or Ingredients

When experimenting with powders like alma, omelette, or cassia, it's crucial to consider your desired color outcome. If you're looking for more red tones, it's recommended to use Red Raj henna without adding any additional ingredients. Adjusting the measurements and diluting the henna mixture too much can affect the color intensity. Therefore, be mindful of the proportions you use.

🔝 Tips for Achieving Vibrant Red Henna Color

To achieve a vibrant red henna color, here are a few key tips to consider:

1️⃣ Fresh Moroccan Henna and Freezing

When using Moroccan henna, it's important to use it fresh as a paste for the best color results. Freezing Moroccan henna weakens its strength, so it's advisable to use the entire mixture at once.

2️⃣ Red Raj Henna for Intense Color

If your goal is to obtain a highly intense red color, Red Raj henna is your go-to choice. It produces a striking red shade that is incomparable. For extraordinary results, stick with Red Raj henna.

3️⃣ Eliminating Cassia and Using Indigo as a Toner

If you want to intensify the red tones achieved with Moroccan henna, consider eliminating the cassia powder from your recipe. Instead, use Indigo as a toner to darken the roots and create a uniform color throughout your hair.

⬇ Dealing with Orange Roots and Lighter Hair

Orange roots and lighter hair can pose a challenge when using henna. Here are some solutions to address this issue:

1️⃣ Roots Catching up with the Length

As roots tend to be lighter, especially in the case of gray hair, they may require extra attention. Focus on treating the roots separately to allow them to catch up with the rest of the hair. Try a root touch-up using a darker recipe or a brown henna mixture to achieve a more uniform color.

2️⃣ Root Touch-Up with Darker Recipes

To prevent or tone down orange roots, consider applying a darker recipe directly to the roots. This will help blend the lighter hair with the rest of the hair, giving a more desirable result. Use specialized recipes that target root touch-ups for optimal outcomes.

3️⃣ Using Indigo to Tone Down the Orange

In instances where the roots turn out too orange, using Indigo shortly after the henna treatment can be effective. Applying Indigo to the roots, or even the entire hair, within 2-3 days of the henna treatment helps neutralize the orange tones, resulting in a more balanced color.

🥥 The Effect of Coconut Milk on Henna Color

Coconut milk can potentially dilute the henna color. In combination with henna, coconut milk, yogurt, and other heavy ingredients, the resulting color may not be as vibrant as anticipated. If you want to achieve consistent and reliable results with Henna Kisses, it's best to stick to the original recipe without adding coconut milk. This will ensure you maintain that beloved reddish tint.
