Henna Hair Dye Powder for Hair Colour - EU Pack

For many people who search for henna hair dye or “natural henna hair dye”, henna is the first step into herbal-style hair colour. Spierb Henna Powder is a cosmetic, single-ingredient henna made from Lawsonia inermis leaves and milled so it blends into a soft, even paste. On this page we are talking only about henna for hair, not body-art cones or decorative mehndi on the skin.

Used as a standalone henna hair dye powder, it can give bright copper-red and auburn style results on lighter or uncoloured hair. On naturally darker hair, henna often shows as a softer red sheen that becomes visible in the light rather than a strong “before and after” change. Because base colour, porosity and previous dyes all matter, results will differ from person to person, so a strand test is always the best preview.

A lot of people are specifically interested in henna hair dye for grey hair, where pure henna may turn individual greys a more vivid copper or orange-red while still blending into the rest of the hair. With regular, thoughtful use, henna can become part of a repeatable colour pattern, but it behaves differently from synthetic permanent dyes. Our role is to provide a consistent pure henna hair dye powder with clear, honest guidance so you can build your own routine.

If your goal is a darker shade, Henna pairs naturally with Spierb Indigo Powder for hair. Many herbal routines in Europe use a henna-first, indigo-second sequence or carefully controlled henna–indigo mixes to move towards deep brown or near-black tones. The Spierb Learn Hub includes practical articles and charts on henna–indigo timings, ratios and layering so you can experiment with structure, not guesswork.

Henna does not have to be used only for full, intense colour. A shorter henna hair mask on the lengths can refresh tone more gently, or simply give you a slower, more ritual-like moment in your routine. Because this is a single-ingredient powder, you decide how strong, how frequent and how long your henna applications should be.

• Gives you a flexible way to explore henna hair dye at home as part of a herbal-style colour routine in the EU
• Provides a mix-it-yourself henna powder for hair that you can adapt in strength, timing and layering
• Works as a standalone natural henna hair dye option for copper-red and auburn-style tones, especially on lighter or grey hair
• Combines with Spierb Indigo Powder for hair in henna–indigo systems when deeper browns and darker results are the goal
• Supports both full-head applications and gentler henna hair mask treatments on the lengths
• Plant-based, single-ingredient powder with a clear INCI and no added PPD, ammonia or metallic salts from our side
• Packed in a resealable pouch so you can store the powder between applications and mix only what you need

Always perform a patch test and a strand test before your first full application. See “Good to know” on your product page for simple methods.

For full-head henna hair dye

1. Wash your hair with a normal shampoo and rinse thoroughly, avoiding heavy conditioners or oils immediately before colouring.
   
2. Towel dry until the hair is damp but not dripping.
   
3. Add 3–6 tablespoons of Spierb Henna Powder to a clean, non-metal bowl, adjusting for hair length and thickness.
   
4. Slowly pour in warm (not boiling) water while stirring until you have a smooth, yoghurt-like henna paste with no dry pockets.
   
5. Cover the bowl and allow the paste to rest for around 20–30 minutes to encourage colour release, especially if you are focusing on henna hair dye for grey hair.
   
6. Put on gloves and divide your hair into small sections; apply the paste from roots to ends until each section is evenly coated.
   
7. Gather the hair and cover it with a shower cap or wrap to keep the henna moist and in place.
   
8. Leave on for 1–3 hours, checking a hidden strand after the first hour to see how the shade is developing on your hair.
   
9. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of lukewarm water until the paste is fully removed; finish with conditioner if desired and style as usual.
   

Henna colour normally oxidises and deepens slightly over the following 24–48 hours, so wait until then before judging the final shade.

For use with Indigo Powder (darker routines)

1. Complete your henna step as described above and rinse fully, then gently towel dry the hair.
   
2. Prepare a fresh paste of Spierb Indigo Powder for hair according to its directions.
   
3. Apply the indigo paste as a second step if you are aiming for darker brown or deeper tones, cover and leave for the recommended time.
   
4. Rinse and condition as usual, then allow 24–48 hours for the combined henna–indigo colour to settle on the hair.
   
5. For suggested ratios and timing options, see the henna–indigo routine guides in the Spierb Learn Hub.
