Tempted by henna, but keep wondering if you can pull it off yourself at home? We totally get it. Your first natural hair coloring can feel a bit like alchemy, but you can relax completely. It’s easier than it looks.
What are natural dyes made of, and why give them a try?
Natural dyes are made from henna and other herbs used for natural hair coloring. They don’t lighten the hair — instead, they work with your current shade. That means the result will always be a little individual, depending on your natural color, the condition of your hair, and whether it’s been previously colored or lightened.
And that’s exactly where its magic lies. Henna doesn’t create a harsh, unnatural effect, but instead gives hair tone, depth, and a livelier look.

What do natural dyes and henna do to hair?
The herbs, together with henna, gently coat the hair with a layer of color. Thanks to this, hair can look stronger, feel smoother to the touch, and have a beautiful shine. It’s a great fit when you want to refresh your shade, add a warmer tone to your hair, soften the first grays, or simply switch to a more natural way of coloring.

How to choose your first shade?
Above all, start naturally. Don’t pick a shade based on a photo alone — go mainly by your current base color. If you have lighter hair and want a more noticeable change, you can go for copper or auburn tones. If you’d prefer a subtler result, reach for brown shades. On dark hair, henna usually won’t create a dramatic change, but it will add a beautiful shine, depth, and glow.
It’s important to know that VOONO dyes don’t lighten hair. So you won’t be able to turn dark brown hair blonde with henna. But you can give it a new tone and a healthier look.
Can I use natural dye on gray hair?
Yes, you can use henna on gray hair too. If you only have a few gray strands, the shade you choose can beautifully soften them and blend them in with the rest of your hair.
If you have more gray, however, you may need two-phase coloring. That means pre-pigmenting the hair first and then applying the final shade. VOONO Pre-Pigmentation Dye can help with this, preparing your hair for the next coloring step. And if you’re not sure what to do, write to us at info@voono.cz and we’ll help you figure out the right approach.
And what if you’re not sure?
If you’re not sure about the shade, the process, or how the color will take on your particular hair, just write to us. Send us a photo of your hair in daylight, and we’ll be happy to help you choose a shade and guide you through application.
