My natural hair colour is strawberry blonde, not full on ginger, but when the light hits it in just the right way you can see the slight touch of red lowlights. Now I fully understand that some people would love to have this colour hair, but I've always hated it and ever since I can remember I've been bleaching it. This means my hair has taken a lot of abuse over the last 20+ years, but now things are going to change, I've decided to embrace my hairs natural red tint and even enhance it. You see I really fancy a change, a big change and on my last visit to Lush decided to take the plunge and ask advice on using their Henna based hair dye, the Caca. ==What's ...  Read the complete review

Caca Brun forms part of Lush's hairdye range. I was in there one day and just happened to spy it and had a discussion with the shop assistant about it before deciding to purchase it. On first glance it looks like a giant big block of chocolate and is made of black and red hennas. I was advised that this would give my midbrown hair a hint of red but with extra sheen. I was also advised to patch test first to ensure I liked the colour. I prepared as follows. I broke up the cubes and cut them up into small pieces (I used 4 of the blocks in the bar for my fine just-past shoulder length hair. I then made a bain-marie by heating the pieces in a small ...  Read the complete review

***What the heck is it?*** Lush caca brun is a block of all natural hair colourant which combines Persian Henna which adds red tones, Indigo which adds blue/black tones, Coffee/Clove/Geraniol (for aroma more than anything else), Lemon (henna works better when in an acidic media) and Cocoa butter which helps the product stick to the hair. A block which is composed of 6 squares will set you back £7.95 which is rather steep for a hair colourant but then again some of these new L'Oreal/John Frieda colourants are approaching the £10 mark. Now Lush do a number of these poo (Caca) blocks in the following shades: Caca Rouge - All henna no Indigo ...  Read the complete review

I haven't dyed my hair since I was in my early 20's, and recently I have noticed an increasing amount of grey/white hair appearing : ( I am Chinese and have straight long dark brown/blackish hair which is almost waist length. So the white hair really stands out, instead of trying to pull them all out! I thought I'd try some natural henna. I'm not too keen on dyeing my hair with artificial chemicals because they dry out and weaken the hair. I bought Caca Brun (£7.25) I used the whole 6 squares in the block as I have a lot of hair to cover. The block was really hard so I put the whole lot into a non-stick saucepan and poured boiling hot water over it to just ...  Read the complete review

This is the 2nd time in a month I tried the Lush Caca Brun Henna. I've got fairly long dark brown hair and I've started to get some greys around my temples and a few at the front crown. I usually use mainstream brown touch-up dyes from Boots which cover the greys brilliantly. However I've started to notice short, flyaway hairs on the top of my head! I can't tell if this is new hair growing back, or if it is hair that has broken off because i keep dying the top of my hair and the temples to get rid of the grey. In case they are broken hairs from the dark hair dyes, I thought I'd try henna instead as its supposed to strengthen the hair not break ...  Read the complete review
