Organic Henna Leaf Powder For Hair
Radico Organic Henna Leaf Powder is milled Lawsonia inermis leaf, certified organic. One ingredient in the pouch and nothing else — no fillers, no synthetic preservatives, no fragrance, no PPD, no ammonia. Net weight 100 g (3.5 oz).
Where the colour comes from
Henna's pigment is lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone). The leaf stores it as hennosides, and mixing the powder with water releases it. Lawsone bonds to the keratin of the hair rather than resting on the surface, so henna does not wash out — it leaves gradually as the hair itself wears.
What it does on hair
- On grey or light hair: copper to reddish-orange.
- On brown or black hair: warmth and red that show in the light, rather than a change of colour. Henna adds pigment and never lifts it.
- With indigo: the route to brown and black. Henna gives the warm base and indigo cools and deepens it — applied one after the other, or mixed. More indigo reads darker and cooler; more henna reads warmer and redder.
Henna is in 18 of our 24 shades. If you want a ready-blended brown or black, our colour chart is the place to start.
How to use it
- Start with clean hair, free of conditioner, oil or styling product. Dry hair is best; towel-dried damp hair also works.
- Mix the powder with warm water into a smooth, yogurt-like paste.
- Optional: acidity helps henna release its pigment. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar per bowl and let the paste rest 15 to 30 minutes. Only do this with henna on its own — never when indigo is in the mix.
- Apply evenly from roots to ends, grey areas first. Cover with a shower cap to keep the paste warm and damp, and leave it on for at least an hour.
- Rinse with water only.
The colour keeps deepening over the first day or two. Strand test first — the result depends on the hair it lands on.
Wear gloves. Henna stains skin and nails temporarily; any tint fades within a few days.
Before you use it
- Patch test on the inner forearm 48 hours before a full application. If it itches or reddens, wash it off and do not use it.
- If you have G6PD deficiency, ask your physician before using henna.

FAQ
Organic Henna Leaf Powder is a plant-based coloring herb traditionally used to deposit warm red to copper tones on hair.
Yes. Henna naturally deposits color onto the hair and will stain the hair shaft. The result may appear red, auburn, or copper depending on your starting hair color.
No. Even when used for conditioning purposes, henna will deposit visible color. If your goal is hair care without color change, this product is not recommended.
Henna color is long-lasting because it binds to the hair cuticle. The tone may soften over time but does not fully wash out.
Yes. Although henna is plant-based, a patch test is recommended before full application to check for sensitivity.

Little time on our shelves
We order single herbs in the smallest amounts we can, so each pouch spends as little time as possible waiting to be sent.
12 months+
