Description
Organic Red Henna (Lawsonia Inermis) – 100% Natural Hair Dye, Revitalizing and Strengthening
Organic Red Henna is a pure powder obtained exclusively from the dried and finely ground leaves of the Lawsonia Inermis plant, sourced from certified organic farming. Used for centuries as a traditional plant dye, Henna colors hair naturally in warm shades ranging from copper to auburn-coppery, without altering the internal chemical structure of the hair shaft. Unlike synthetic oxidation dyes, the natural pigment in Henna (lawsone) binds to the keratin on the outer layer of the hair strand, while imparting volume, density, intense shine, and protection against environmental stressors.
Ingredients: Lawsonia Inermis Leaf Powder.
100% of the total ingredients are from organic farming. COSMOS ORGANIC certified by Ecocert Greenlife according to COSMOS Standard
Technical and Quality Characteristics
- Composition: 100% pure, fine plant powder from Lawsonia Inermis.
- Quality: Free from added metallic salts, PPD, ammonia, peroxide, synthetic dyes, or preservatives.
- Appearance: Fine greenish powder with a characteristic dried herb odor.

Results Based on Base Hair Color

Properties and Benefits
- Respectful Botanical Dyeing: Coats each hair strand in a protective layer without penetrating the cortex or bleaching its natural structure.

- Smoothing and Natural Shine: Seals damaged hair cuticles, making hair smoother, easier to comb, and extremely shiny.
Preparation and Application Guide
Preparation and application are straightforward, following the basic steps of henna dyeing:
- Indicative Dosage: Short hair / Roots: approx. 30 g - 50 g powder; Medium hair (shoulder-length): approx. 100 g powder; Long hair: 150 g - 200 g powder.
- Paste Preparation: In a non-metallic bowl (glass, ceramic, or plastic), mix the Henna powder with warm water (at approximately 60°C – 70°C) until a smooth paste with the consistency of thick sour cream is obtained. Leaving the paste to steep for 15-30 minutes for optimal pigment release is recommended.
- Application: Apply the warm paste to clean (previously washed with shampoo only, no conditioner) and dry or slightly damp hair. Distribute generously, section by section, from roots to ends using protective gloves.
- Processing Time: Cover head with a plastic shower cap or plastic wrap and wrap with a towel. Leave on for 1 to 4 hours, depending on the desired color intensity.
- Rinsing: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water only until the water runs completely clear. Avoid using shampoo for the first 24-48 hours after application, as the final color stabilizes and intensifies through air oxidation during this timeframe.
Recommended Synergies and Blends
- For Warm Brown Shades: Combine Red Henna with Dark Brown Henna or Indigo and Amla.
- For Darker Red / Burgundy Shades: Combine Red Henna with Hibiscus or Madder powder.
- To Temper Orange Tones: Pair Red Henna with Amla or Neutral Henna.
Precautions and Recommendations
Strand Test: Performing a prior test on a hidden strand of hair is recommended to evaluate the final shade, especially on chemically bleached or permed hair.
Precautions: For external cosmetic use only. Wear suitable gloves during handling and application, as Henna stains skin and nails. Avoid contact with eyes; in case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Do not inhale. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

I have been using these hair dyes from elemental for about 5 years, as well as other products( essential oils, floral waters) and they are very good. I use a combination of red and blonde henna and the result is a shade close to my hair, and it covers white hair very well.The plus is that they nourish the hair and do not degrade it like synthetic dyes.
Good evening, how could I get a lighter shade, golden auburn, coppery shade? I left it for 5 hours to act on hair already dyed with red henna (from another brand) with white roots and it came out a little darker than I expected. Thanks!
I am very happy with the product, the powder is very fine, it mixes easily and washes out of the hair easily. Although I have heard that it dries my hair very dry, it left my hair silky (I have very fine and dry hair).
I've been coloring with red henna for 4 years. With a break in the summer when I paint with normal paint. I'm satisfied. I don't shed as much, it's very healthy and shiny! Until I think about changing my color, I won't give it up. I highly recommend
Being an eco-friendly product, I allowed myself to use it several times. Having light colored hair the results has been long lasting the color still lingers after more than eight months.
I have been using it for many years and am very satisfied. It has made my hair healthy and shiny. It strengthens hair strands and stops hair fall.
I bought the red henna because I read about how it changes hair color and covers white streaks. I haven't decided to use it yet.
I have been using Elemental products for a long time, and especially ayurveda hair powders. I am extremely satisfied, my hair is richer, stronger, has more volume and shine. So far I've been using neutral henna but I decided to try a little color. I mix a tablespoon of reddish henna powder with amla and other powders, I make a mask that I keep for about 1 hour. Very happy with the results, the white hairs are not visible at all now. I highly recommend! 😊
I've been using elemental's vegetable powders for over 10 years (personally, I mix a few to get the desired shade). What's funny is that most think it's my natural color
It's the first time I've dyed with henna and I'm very happy with the result. I have dark brown hair with 20% white strands. It came out brown with a gorgeous shade of red on the white strands. I hope to get a shade closer to red in time. I'm still experimenting with the advice of those who have used before. I had some trepidation, given some of the reviews, but I really didn't have any problems: the color washed right off my skin, no stained towels, no run. I didn't notice my hair falling out less than before or the strands being thicker... maybe after multiple uses.
I've been using it for a few years now and I'm very happy with it. The color is very vibrant (the longer I keep it on my hair, the more intense it is) and I mention that I add oils in the dye (jojoba, avocado, castor, vitamin A oil, what I can find), but I'm careful not to overdo it, because I don't use shampoo when I take the dye off. Also, I also mention that I have the advantage of having naturally blonde hair and then henna really catches very well (like any other dye, for that matter 😀). It doesn't thin my hair like chemical dyes do, in fact I can actually feel it getting stronger.
I love how it covers white strands, even though I have dark brown hair, it looks great with the white strands turned red, and in the sunlight all the hair blushes red, it looks great
I have been coloring with henna for over 20 years and discovering Elemental products in the last year has been more than beneficial. I have been buying henna by the kilo for a year now and I can say that I am satisfied with both the quality and the price.
I use this product for over 5 years in combination with black henna. Even when I used it without the other it had the desired effect. The henna powder is fresh and colors very well. At the same time I noticed that it also strengthens my hair roots and the color is natural not like chemical dyes. I highly recommend this product. E super!
I chose to use henna because my hair falls out a lot (hypothyroidism) and I'm curly (90%). For some time I've been preoccupied with the idea of changing my hair color (from red-purple) to a lighter shade so that the big difference at the roots doesn't show when my hair grows. The hairdresser when I asked her what I could do she told me that she doesn't recommend me to open the shade because my hair can't stand the discoloration. And I kept thinking what I could do. As such, I thought I'd try the henna here and I didn't find it bad at all. I did exactly as not recommended, that is, I applied henna over chemical paint, less than 1 month after the previous application - chemical. (I paint myself about every 2 -3 weeks). And, my surprise was that everything went very well. Henna caught everywhere including the areas with old chemical paint. I used a mixture of 50% red henna and 50% neutral henna. Before bed, I prepared the mixture to apply with warm water, let it sit for half an hour, then applied the paste to the hair strands with my hands (with gloves), wrapped up and went to bed. When I washed in the morning the result was wonderful. The experiment worked and I have now switched to continuous use. In the paste, before application I added oils that I had around the house.
My mom uses this product and is very satisfied. Her hair no longer falls out, the color stays for a long time, even after several washes.
I have been using Elemental's reddish henna powder for a long time, both as a hair colorant and as a hair strengthening mask. It colors white hair in a brassy shade, not the same as chemical dye, but from a hair health point of view it is clearly superior.
