Product Description
Reformulated
(again) with your feedback! We’ve increased the cocoa butter levels again, so
you can get back to the colour you love.
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?
Our darkest indigo, henna and noni fruit brick takes light
brown hair a shade darker or adds cooler tones and gloss to warm brunette hair.
This 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?
Noir adds beautiful cool-brown hues to brunette hair and
delivers plenty of shine! You can build cooler tones with further applications.
To glaze blonde, white or twinkly grey hair with glossy brown hues, you’ll need
an initial base coat of our Rouge henna brick. Got a burning question? 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, 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 to create brown shades, like indigo and noni fruit - a technique
historically made famous by the Iranians. Our addition is cocoa butter which
softens and aids slip through the hair as you apply and enables us to make a
solid, self-preserving product.
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. 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.
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 store:
Your henna brick will arrive in a beautiful recycled paper
packaging, with designs inspired by the organic, floral henna designs
traditionally found in Middle Eastern and Asian skin art.
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.
