LUSH henna hair dye

[mcc]

Has anyone used the LUSH henna hair dye?  My roots are growing in but my hair is dyed a great chestnut with red undertones that would work well with the Caca Maroon Mama.  Any experience?

I have used it before. I loved, loved, loved it. The process was messy and it smells a bit, but my hair was so shiny after and I loved the color. I would keep doing it but I'm naturally blonde and couldn't keep up with the maintenance. I don't recommend doing it if you're going to lighten your hair (go back to blonde)...my hair turned teal.

Thank you! I'm going to just darken and redden my hair. It's naturally a medium ashy brown. I'll try it, especially since I get chemical burns/allergic scalp reactions no matter which dyes or salons I use.

I've been using Lush henna for years. I only used the Caca Maroon once because it didn't add much red to my hair. I've found on my hair (medium brown skewing a bit on the darker end) Caca Rouge works the best, it gives it nice red undertones and just makes the brown more vibrant. It is messy and takes awhile, but it's worth it. I usually wrap my head in saran wrap (it's supposed to help it work better by keeping things warmer ... I don't know, but it also keeps the mess more under control) and leave it on overnight. If I put it in earlier in the day I try to leave it in 4-5 hours, but you can experiment with what works best for your hair. You can definitely leave it on for less time, I've just found that's what works to get the color I want
