Description
Enjoy a warm, glossy chestnut without chemicals with Khadi hazelnut brown henna. This plant-based colour gives a glossy chestnut that can go as far as chocolate. It contains no ammonia, no peroxide and no synthetic dyes.
Khadi hazelnut brown henna is made of very finely ground plants. It coats each hair to give it volume and shine. It also aims at grey and white hair, according to the brand. The result depends on your starting colour and on the time left on, often long.
The box contains 100 g of powder, to be mixed with hot water yourself. The dye does not stain the skin, which is reassuring around the forehead and temples. Khadi hazelnut brown henna is certified natural and vegan. Do a skin test 48 hours beforehand, then a strand test.

Our verdict on this Khadi hazelnut brown henna
Review written by the Air d’Orient team · Updated 19 September 2026
We read buyers’ feedback on this Khadi hazelnut brown henna to pick out what comes up most often, the good and the not so good.
The strong points
- A warm, natural colour, luminous, that many find very beautiful.
- Coated, soft hair, with more volume, without damaging it.
- A dye that does not stain the skin, handy around the forehead and temples.
- A scalp that is respected: several users note that it does not irritate it.
Good to know
- Coverage of white hair that varies: some white hairs stay light or turn towards red. Leave it on for three hours and repeat the application if needed.
- A result that depends on the base: on light hair, the roots may darken more than the lengths. Do a strand test first, or use a neutral henna for the first application.
Where we lean: for anyone who wants a warm chestnut and to cover the first white hairs without chemicals, it is a good choice from the Khadi range. For a slightly lighter shade with cinnamon highlights, the Khadi Medium Chestnut below is worth a look. For other plant-based colours, browse our natural henna department.
