Product Description
Glaze your hair strands
with our henna hair dyes, varnishing the outer-layer of your hair with a tone
of your choice.
What’s in it for you?
A beautiful henna, cassia and chamomile hair colour for
beautiful shades of strawberry blonde hair colour. Our 100% natural hair dye is
ideal if you have an existing hair dye allergy, are looking for a safer
alternative to synthetic hair dye or just want shiny, healthy hair.
What colour will your hair go?
Vénitien acts like a warm, honey-coloured glaze, adding
sun-kissed tones and shine to naturally blonde, light or white hair. It can
also be used to tint white hair golden red or to add warmth and shine to
previously lightened hair if you’re ditching the bleach. Vénitien will not
have an effect on brunette hair other than adding plenty of shine!
You
can make sure henna is the right choice for you by reading our FAQ.
How does it work?
Henna contains a pigment called lawsone that has an
affinity to the keratin in your hair. It adheres to the cuticle like a varnish,
adding a layer of sheer colour without changing your natural hair colour. This
will very gradually fade over time. Henna can be used to help bind other
materials to the hair like the blonde-enhancing chamomile and rhubarb in
Vénitien. This brick also contains cassia powder - often known as ‘neutral
henna’ for the similar way it attaches to the hair cuticle and its gloss-giving
effects. We add cocoa butter, which softens and aids slip through the hair, and
enables us to make a solid, self-preserving product.
What’s in it for the planet?
Synthetic hair dyes contain chemicals known as aromatic
amines that are not only associated with health risks, but may bioaccumulate in
our ecosystem. Hair salon wastewater has been found to contain colour molecules
unconsumed by the dye process, as well as mutagenic byproducts, that are not
believed to be effectively removed from our water systems. Choosing a
plant-based, ppd-free hair dye like Lush henna reduces the number of these
materials in circulation.
How to use:
Henna is a gloriously messy, hippy process - and the idea
is to get as much of it onto the hair as possible! Our essential bamboo henna
application brush is ideal for getting extra precision, and our
reusable Henna Hair Wrap is
perfect for wrapping your hair colour while it develops for redder results. Our
unique cocoa butter henna brick is designed to be enough for one head of
mid-length hair and melts down with hot water into a rich paste, which you
should apply generously. See our top tips for application
here.
How to store:
Your henna brick will arrive in a beautiful recycled paper
packaging, with designs inspired by intricate patterns of lace from the Italian
Renaissance. Keep your henna brick in its wrap in a cool, dry place, ready for
when you use it. Henna bricks are best used fresh and you can put any leftover
melted henna in your compost.
To
continue our commitment to reduce single use plastic, your henna will no longer
come with plastic gloves. Please protect your hands with your trusty reusable
rubber gloves.
