The 8 shades of Henna Morena's natural hair dye

Have you been dyeing your hair with synthetic products for years and feel like it's time for a change? Are you interested in switching to plant-based hair dye but unsure which formula will give you the shade you want?

Simple, clean, and healthy

Switching to plant-based hair dye is not a complicated process—quite the opposite:

Dyeing with plants is simple: with easy blends, natural results, and a straightforward process.

It's clean: no synthetic ingredients, no strong odors, and no chemical stains.

It's healthy: it respects your hair and strengthens it, enhancing its natural beauty rather than masking it.

100% natural ingredients

Our plant-based dyes are made entirely from plants that naturally pigment the hair. Unlike synthetic dyes, plant-based dyes don’t penetrate the hair shaft by breaking its structure; instead, they coat the surface of the hair. What does this mean? The pigments adhere to or settle on the cuticle, the outer part of the hair, while respecting the hair fibers.

Our coloring formulas contain only plants. They are prepared with a plant infusion and a plant-based hair oil. A treatment that not only adds color but also promotes healthy hair.

8 tones to choose from

We offer 10 formulas that result in 8 different tones, so you can choose the one that suits you best.

The final tone will largely depend on your current hair color. Keep in mind that plants will never bleach or lighten your base color—this can only be done using synthetic ingredients that break the hair cuticle. Plant-based dye pigments the hair gradually, blending with your base color. With regular use, the unwanted "root effect" will fade. Below, we explain each tone in detail and show you pictures. You can also take our color quiz to find your ideal shade.

Note: if you have dark hair and more than 50% gray, you'll need to do a double dyeing process. This is explained in the coloring guide.

VERY DARK BROWN:

Indigo with Henna

This plant-based dye is the result of blending two pigmenting plants: *Indigosfera tinctoria*, better known as Indigo, and *Lawsonia Inermis*, Henna. It's ideal for dark brown or brunette hair that wants to stay in the same shade while covering gray hairs.

We recommend this tone for dark brown or brunette hair. To enhance pigmentation and achieve darker tones, you may need to do a double dye: first with henna, then with this formula. This formula covers gray hair, and the coverage will improve with continued application.

DARK BROWN - CHOCOLATE:

Walnut with Indigo

This plant-based dye contains Walnut, Indigo, and Henna, designed to create a chocolate brown tone on brown or brunette hair. This formula covers grays and avoids coppery hues.

This blend contains L-arginine, vitamins, and minerals that help improve blood circulation in the scalp and strengthen the hair root.

HAZELNUT BROWN:

Henna with Cassia

The combination of Henna and Cassia in the proportion provided in this product gives hazelnut tones with soft copper highlights when applied on brown hair.

This formula blends two plants rich in vitamins and minerals that thicken, strengthen, and add spectacular shine to the hair, while reducing hair loss. So it’s not just color—it’s also a healthy hair treatment.

INTENSE COPPER:

Henna with Hibiscus

This formula, called Henna with Black Tea, Cinnamon, and Hibiscus, delivers an intense copper tone ideal for brunette or brown hair. On darker hair, the result will be less intense. On gray hair, it will appear coppery. On lighter hair, the tone will be more vibrant.

COPPER:

Henna

We offer 3 Henna products, all delivering the same result: a copper tone. The difference lies in the plant infusion added to the henna, each offering unique benefits for the hair: Henna with Thyme and Nettle, Henna with Rosemary and Sage, Henna with Lavender and Orange Blossom.

The *Lawsonia Inermis* (Henna) plant always gives a copper tone and produces natural copper highlights on brown and dark copper hair or brunette hair. Henna also offers numerous benefits: it strengthens the hair, prevents hair loss, provides nutrients, is antibacterial, adds volume, and eliminates dandruff.

COPPER BLONDE:

Henna with Chamomile

This formula blends two fresh pigmenting plants: Chamomile and Henna.

The effect varies depending on the hair it’s applied to: ideal for redheads looking to refresh their tone, but also works on light brown hair to maintain or enhance soft coppery highlights. Our ambassador Arantxa Areta loves it—it gives her light brown hair a beautiful honey tone.

GOLDEN BLONDE:

Chamomile

This formula combines the pigmenting power of Chamomile with 5% Henna—just enough to lean the blonde toward golden.

This blend tones down gray hairs and gives very natural golden hues on blonde and light hair.

LIGHT BLONDE:

Chamomile with Cassia Obovata

This is a plant blend featuring the pigmenting Chamomile and the non-pigmenting Cassia Obovata, which strengthens and adds shine to the hair.

This formula also includes other plants like Rosemary and Henna to keep hair strong, healthy, and shiny. It also comes with a sachet to prepare the mix with an infusion of Calendula, Chamomile, and Orange Peel, which boosts and maintains the blonde color.

This tone is ideal for very light or white hair.

Plant-based dyeing is not an exact science, and the tones we offer are indicative: the final result will depend on your initial hair condition, its hydration level, and the products you've used before. You can take our color quiz to find your perfect shade.
