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?
Try this beautiful henna and hibiscus brick to turn blonde
or red hair a vibrant shade of copper, or add spicy red hair colour tones to
darker hair. Our 100% natural hair dye is ideal if you have a hair dye allergy,
are looking for a safer alternative to synthetic hair dye or just want glossy,
healthy hair with plenty of body.
What colour will your hair go?
Rouge will give fiery copper hues to blonde and red hair,
warm red henna tones to brunettes and adds a subtle, glossy warmth to very dark
heads of hair. Use over greying hair for a warm, twinkly highlights effect, or
as an essential base before applying Lush's Noir, Brun or Marron henna hair dye
to fair, white or greying hair.
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 like the hibiscus in Rouge, which brings added depth and vibrancy to your
colour. We add cocoa butter because it 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, 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.
What’s in it for the planet?
A majority of 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, inspired by the angular henna designs traditionally found in North
African 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 some trusty reusable
rubber gloves.
