Henna

Shop Henna at Holland & Barrett

Henna gives you a plant-based way to colour your hair. At Holland & Barrett, you’ll find henna hair colours in a range of natural-looking shades, from warm blondes and coppers to richer browns, deep brunettes and intense dark tones. Each shade is designed to work with your existing colour, helping you refresh your look or gently soften the appearance of greys.

Plant-based henna colour blends

Many of the henna products on this page blend traditional henna with other botanicals, like indigo or cassia, to create a wider palette of colours. These blends can help you move from lighter to darker tones, or add extra depth and warmth to your natural shade. They’re a useful option if you’re looking for a more gradual shift in colour that still feels soft and natural.

Henna for warm blondes and soft copper tones

If you’re drawn to golden, honey or strawberry tones, you’ll find henna options that can brighten and warm up lighter hair. These shades are ideal if you want a sun-kissed effect or a soft copper glow, while still allowing your natural highlights to shine through. On darker hair, these lighter blends can add a gentle hint of warmth rather than a dramatic change.

Henna for browns, auburns and rich reds

For those who love deeper colour, there are henna shades that build chocolate browns, chestnut tones and vibrant auburns. These colours can help enhance the look of mid-brown hair, add extra depth to dark blondes, or bring a bold red sheen to lighter bases. Because henna sits on the outside of the hair, the result often looks multi-tonal, catching the light rather than looking flat.

Henna for very dark and black tones

If you prefer a strong, dark finish, there are henna combinations that help create very dark brown through to near-black tones. These are often built with added plant-based colour sources to deepen the natural henna shade. They’re a helpful choice if you want to intensify an already dark colour, or give lighter hair a more dramatic, glossy finish.
