Brun Henna

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?
Indigo, henna, noni fruit and coffee combine to create a cool-toned hazel brown henna glaze with oodles of gloss. 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?
Brun adds beautiful cool hazel tones to brunette hair, adding body and incredible shine! You can build cooler tones with further applications. To glaze blonde, white or twinkly grey hair with dazzling 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, coffee 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 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.
