Marron Henna

Henna, indigo, hibiscus and coffee combine to give sumptuous chestnut-brown colour with glints of red. 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.

Marron adds rich burgundy henna tones to brunette hair or depth to redheads. To glaze blonde, white or twinkly grey hair with warm auburn brown hues, you’ll need an initial base coat of our Rouge henna brick. If you desire the reddest version of Marron, be sure to use our reusable Henna Hair Wrap throughout the development process.

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 indigo, hibiscus and coffee in this brick, which create warm shades of brown - 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 self-preserving product.

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 some trusty reusable rubber gloves.
