  caca rouge

  by hazelll (8 reviews)

  Caca rouge is an incredible red henna that works over my natural hair nicely, and over highlights even better. It is neater, less crumbly, and faster to rinse out than other natural hennas, and smells fantastic May 2, 2008, 9:34 am

  love it...

  by missnana (12 reviews)

  i have chemically damaged hair, that would not hold on to any color.. my hair was an auburn blond, and loosing the color on the ends.. i didnt want to put in another round of dyes, so i bought this upon reading the good reviews.. it is messy and the smell is kinda bad, but it was totally worth it.. i left it in for two hour...s, and my hair is now a golden brown.. i could not get the highlights this gave me from any salon.. my husband was so surprised at how nice the color is, and how soft my hair was afterwards.. i would definately recommend this product to anyone who wants a natural hair product minus the harsh chemicals...

  great color, good for hair too!

  by wickedplum777 (30 reviews)

  Trusted Review

  I have used both caca rouge and caca marron and love both. I am left with beautiful rich red color and my thin hair gets a boost of thickness afterwards. The best part is that I'm actually doing something good for my hair instead of damaging it with chemicals. March 22, 2008, 10:14 am

  Love the Henna

  by GreenMama666 (5 reviews)

  Henna is a great way to save yourself from the cancer causing chemical dyes out there. And esp. good for when you are pregnant and need a touch up. Lush adds alot more to their henna prepartions and the olive oil helps keep you hair from drying out. Following the directions also helps keep the mess down and not burning i...t in the pan/pot keeps the herby smells down as well as a teaspoon of honey. June 5, 2008, 3:25 pm

  I adore this stuff!!!

  by CT (5 reviews)

  I absolutely love it!!! It is a bit messy, but well worth the effort. I have used this for about 6 years. My hair is so much healthier. And it is much cheaper than traditional coloring for the amount you get! It wears well. I get loads of compliments when I am just out and about. Total strangers want to know where I get my ...hair color! Go get it girls, it's amazing!!!! November 12, 2009, 2:43 pm

  A pain in the ... hair

  by teshie (336 reviews)

  Top 100 ReviewerTrusted Review

  Lush's hair hennas are not for the impatient. My hair should have been easy to henna because it's cut into a very short pixie. My first go was, however, a disaster. My first mistake was that I burned the henna, which dramatically reduces its effectiveness. So the next two hours of noxious smell followed by gnarly clean up y...ielded no results. My second try was much better. I'm glad, because I really didn't want to go back to environment-damaging, animal-torturing boxed dye, but I hate my natural color and can't afford salon color. If you want to try this, I strongly recommend checking out Lush's online forum, which discusses these hennas at length. And be sure to follow the directions! May 26, 2009, 8:59 pm

  Messy the first time, but Divine results!

  by therealbaywitch (18 reviews)

  Learning how to use this does involve a bit of trial and error. I shave the bar with a sharp knife...and mix with hot but not boiling water to mix into a paste about the texture of yugurt. The smell is very organic. Though I didn't dislike it at all! Once the henna has thoroughly dried on all the hair, about 6 hours for... me, You can rinse. Rinse, rinse, rinse. Takes me about 30 minutes to really find it is all out. My hair has never been softer, and the color is delicious. In the sunlight, people always comment about my color. I use the 2 parts of the marron and 1 part of the rouge..and the color is a lovely auburn! Well worth the mess the first time using it. Stick with it and teach yourself how to mix and apply..you will never be sorry. May 1, 2009, 11:28 am

  Pretty good henna

  by TwoBirds (254 reviews)

  Top 100 Reviewer

  This is a pretty pricey and time intensive henna. It comes in a block that must be cut up or shredded first. Once you get it on your hair I found that it was pretty average as far as hair hennas go. I like the caca rouge for soft red highlights, however it isn't a dramatic henna coloring. I have gotten better results wi...th other, cheaper hennas when I want an obvious color difference. I'm a fan of Lush, but this isn't one of my regular purchases. April 27, 2009, 8:05 am

  A disgusting mess! But so worth the effort!

  by shriekingviolet (76 reviews)

  Top 500 ReviewerTrusted Review

  I've used this product in brun, marron and rouge a few times and have been thoroughly pleased with the results. I have dark auburn hair naturally, but like to use rouge to intensify the red in my hair some and give it great shine. Caca marron performs this task beautifully. After using it, my hair has a great gloss for w...eeks that I've never been able to match using any other product and the red tint is just what I want. On me at least, it's subtle sort of "my natural color but better" but I'm sure that those results would vary greatly depending on your hair color and how long you leave it on your hair. I typically plaster mine on and then put my hair under a shower cap and leave it for 2-3 hours. The results always leave people commenting that they can't tell what it is I did to my hair, but it sure looks awesome. :D I can't compare this to other hennas as this is the only one I've ever used. I'm not sure if this is easier or more difficult to use than other hennas, I only know it's a lot messier than dyes I've bought from drugstores and beauty supply stores. When it's mixed properly the consistency is about that of brownie batter and it just feels gross on my scalp, and considering that I always leave it on for at least an hour longer, if not two, than I would a synthetic dye that unpleasantness is compounded. I also have a difficult time rinsing all of it out. I normally still find bits of it in my scalp a few days after I henna my hair. It smells gross too, though not intolerably so. Just sort of dirty smelling. Also, I find its solid form to be a bit tricky to mix with. I first started using Lush henna way back when they sold in as a powder and not as a block, and I thought that was much easier to manage. I've taken to grating my block up with a cheese grater to correct this but that takes an annoying amount of time so hennaing my hair can feel like a major chore in ways that dying with commercial brands doesn't. That said though, I do feel the results are worth it. Apart from the lovely color and amazing shine, my hair feels like it has more body and is in better condition post-henna than it did before. So the results are definitely worth it, it just takes a big effort. March 27, 2009, 7:44 pm
