Rouge Henna

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.

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. 

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.

Got a burning question? Find out if henna is the right choice for you by reading our FAQ.

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.

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.
