A complete guide to Henna Hair Dye with Morrocco Method
More people than ever are turning away from chemical hair dyes and embracing the beauty and nourishment of natural hair color. At Dutch Health Store, we’re excited to introduce the full range of Morrocco Method Henna Hair Dyes and Conditioners, along with Amla and Indigo powders—now available in our webshop!
If you’re new to henna or switching from synthetic dyes, this guide will walk you through every step—from prepping your hair to achieving rich, long-lasting color—naturally.
Why Choose Henna Hair Dye?
Henna is a powerful, plant-based alternative to chemical dyes. It not only imparts beautiful, rich color to the hair, but also conditions, strengthens, and protects your strands.
Unlike conventional dyes, Morrocco Method Henna Hair Dyes are 100% pure—free from additives, metallic salts, or synthetic chemicals. They’re safe for sensitive skin, eco-conscious users, and those following a holistic lifestyle.
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair for Henna
Healthy hair starts with proper preparation. Before coloring, it’s important to detox and strengthen your hair so the henna can bond properly to your strands.
Deep Clean with Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo
Start by cleansing your hair with a clarifying shampoo, such as one based on apple cider vinegar. This removes buildup from past products, oils, and pollution that might interfere with color absorption.
Tip: Wash your hair twice—once for your hair and once for your scalp. For best results, follow with an apple cider rinse (optional).
Condition & Strengthen with Neutral Henna
If your hair has been chemically dyed or damaged, prepare it using:
Henna Hair Conditioner – Neutral (Colorless)
This is pure Cassia Obovata—a non-coloring botanical that strengthens hair, improves texture, adds shine, and enhances curl definition. It’s ideal for anyone who wants the benefits of henna without changing their hair color.
Bonus: Neutral henna also helps red, brown, and black henna dyes adhere better to porous or damaged hair.
Step 2: Choose Your Henna Shade
Morrocco Method offers a beautiful range of natural shades to match your desired color—whether you’re going for a soft golden blonde or a bold black.
Our New Henna Hair Dye Collection:
- Henna Hair Dye – Light Blonde — perfect for light blonde or gray hair; may add a subtle golden hue.
- Henna Hair Dye – Light Brown — delivers a soft, natural brunette tone.
- Henna Hair Dye – Medium Brown — a rich, balanced mid-brown that covers grays well.
- Henna Hair Dye – Dark Brown — deep brown with strong gray coverage.
- Henna Hair Dye – Red — vibrant auburn; the most conditioning of all henna shades.
- Henna Hair Dye – Black — best for deep black tones; requires a two-step process using henna + indigo for long-lasting color.

Step 3: Mix and Apply Your Henna
Henna doesn’t work like regular box dyes. It’s thicker—like mud—and needs special care when mixing and applying.
Basic Henna Mixing Ingredients:
- Your chosen Morrocco Method Henna Hair Dye
- Distilled water
- An acidic liquid (like lemon juice or apple cider vinegar) to release the dye
Tips for Application:
- Always apply to clean, dry hair.
- Use gloves—henna stains!
- Protect your hairline with oil to avoid staining skin.
- Work in sections, root to tip, until your whole head is saturated.
- Wrap your hair in plastic and cover to trap heat.
Processing time:
- Red: 4–6 hours
- Brown: Up to 3 hours (longer may pull red tones)
- Black: Step 1 (henna), then apply indigo within 48 hours
For gray coverage or bold tones, always allow time for oxidation—the final color develops over 72 hours.
Step 4: Rinse and Reveal
Henna is thick and requires patience to rinse. Use a tub if possible, or a low-pressure shower to prevent splatter.
Use conditioner or oil to ease rinsing and soften scent.
Avoid shampooing immediately—let the color settle and oxidize.
Step 5: Enhance with Amla & Indigo
Two powerful Ayurvedic powders help customize your color and improve results.
Indigo Powder – €11,00
Used in a two-step process to turn red henna into rich black. Indigo also adds cool tones to brown dyes and helps gray hair take up darker color.
Amla Powder – €11,00
Adds volume, calms overly red tones, and promotes healthy hair growth. Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, it also helps curls retain definition.

- Don’t panic if the color looks bright—it will deepen over 72 hours.
