Marron

I wanted a natural product that I could do myself since the salons are closed because of Covid. I thought this would be a great time to try red. Like the other reviews, it's messy & heavy. I kept it on my mousy brown w/blond highlights (and gray!). It turned out a bright orange but I tried not to panic as everyone said it continues to change. Sure enough, after 2 days it settled into a fun red head. The best part is my naturally wavy/curly hair still curls up great! When getting chemical highlights I always lose my curls for several weeks. This left my hair feeling healthy and shiny!

I have been using Lush for years now so I thought why not give Lush Henna a try. I bought the Caca Maroon and here is my take on it. So I got the 6 pieces Maroon block and ended up using 1/3 of it. I have shoulder length, black hair with few grey strands. I did everything according to the instructions and applied it just like I was asked to. But when it came to the rinsing off part - it was a big problem. I wasn't able to rinse off as quickly as the regular henna powder. This was too greasy and all that cocoa butter made it too difficult to wash off the dried henna and ground coffee ..even with the shampoo. I also lost a bit of hair which isn't that common when you use henna. In fact, henna is supposed to prevent hair fall and dandruff. As for the stain, since I have used Red Henna before ..the Indigo in Caca Maroon covered up my few grey strands with coppery brownish colour instead of bright orange. And overall my hair turned slightly auburn in colour that you can only see in bright sunlight. So not too disappointed about the colouring part. Also, the smell isn't all that great unless you are into those aromatic incense sticks. Then again, you don't smell like grass/dried leaves like you would with regular henna. So would I buy it again for 40 bucks (including taxes and shipping)? Probably not.

I have naturally dirty blonde hair, but I have been getting it highlighted chemically light blonde for a year or two now. I was tired of using harsh chemicals and thought why not try out henna! I used this on my blonde hair and it turned out awesome!!!! I was so surprised how bright it got actually. It was almost an orange color but it looked good. What I really like about it was that it looked natural as well. It did not all turn out one color. I think it did damage the ends of my hair a bit bc it was very hot, but overall it is a great product for a good price.

Henna helped my hair to grow

I was 45 when I first used this product on my dark brown hair with grey streaks in it. As someone who had never dyed her hair, I was looking for a gentle, natural way to turn my greys into reddish highlights. This product delivered! Just be prepared for the work and mess, and it will be fine. I used Vaseline on my ears and hairline, wore an old T-shirt, draped an old towel over my shoulders, and kept a roll of paper towels nearby to wipe up drips from hard surfaces. I wrapped my head in plastic cling wrap for about 4 hours before washing out using just conditioner. The results were lovely! My greys turned a coppery color, which "settled" a bit after about a week, and the rest of my dark hair took on a subtle auburn sheen. Wish I could post photos, but I see no way to do so.

I've been using Henna for 10 years since I was introduced through Lush. I always know when I need to reapply because I start getting more tangles, my hair starts to look flat and frizzy and feels rough, and my white hairs pop up. I've tried other brands, but in spite of seeming cheaper at first they end up costing more when you get only 100 grams and the lush bars are more than 300 grams Henna! Plus I like this color, it ads a reddish shine to my hair without going so far to orange that it becomes too obvious.

I dye my hair every month with this! Now, it's not as dark as I want it to be, so I just mix it with caca brun, about 2:1 (marron:brun). I grate it with a food processor and mix it with what looks like too much hot water. They call it "caca" because it looks like poop. You want diarrhea texture. Lmao. Yes, it's messy as hell, but even when it drips on my skin, it doesn't stain longer than it takes to shower the stuff out of my hair. I wrap it in plastic wrap, pop on a beanie, and let it sit for about 4 hours. It may leak a bit from time to time, due to the heat from the beanie. Just wipe it away with a baby wipe. Again, it really won't stain. I use conditioner to wash it out because the slipperiness gets out the grittiness better than shampoo. Sometimes it takes a couple of conditionings to get it all out. A scalp scrubber helps, too. I don't wash for at least 3 days after rinsing. It'll be lighter and more orangey than you want at first, but let it develop for at least 24 hours before you truly judge it.

I was a bleach blonde for years, and sick of it. I started growing my hair out, which is naturally a weird light brownish red color. I used half a block of Maron and a quarter block of Rouge henna and then slept with it on overnight. I was worried my ends would be way too light, but I woke up to this awesome red color & I couldn't be happier! To top it off, my hair feels really soft and looks way shinier. I will definitely keep using this product!

Breathtaking color, left my hair that was pretty damaged at the ends in great condition. Rinse out is something else but totally worth it

I love the color that this product produced! My hair is naturally a dirty blonde with subtle red tones and I figured this was a way to naturally exaggerate the red. It made a very minor color change for me. It's not super noticeable but that's what I wanted. Unless you have light hair this isn't really going to be a dye, it's a hair tint. I personally only wanted a tint so I love it, but I definitely don't think it would work for everyone. The price/time/effort isn't worth it for anyone with dark hair that's looking for a major change in my opinion.
