Description
Oakwood Powder (dbarggh),100g.
Vegan Semi Permanent Mahogony Hair Dye. For blondes and lighter hair colours.
Ingredients: Finely ground Oakwood Powder from Morocco. Also known as : Dbarrgh.
Dbargh is from the bark of the Oak tree, and is traditionally used in tanning and in traditional medicine. It is a vegan hair dye.
Add 3 – 4 tablespoons of our rich red earth colour vegan hair dye to your henna paste for a beautiful cherry red mahogany colour ! The mahogany red colour influence will be more noticeable on lighter hair shades. Use alone on blonde hair for semi permanent cherry red hair colour tones. Lighter brown hair colour and dark blonde can use dbarrgh on its own or with one tablespoon henna to get a light copper tone. hair shade.
(Pictures, left to right : image 1 is the Moroccan woman, image 2 woman with long copper hair, image 3 woman in sunglasses and image 4 man wearing glasses.)
In image 2 above , the starting colour would have been blonde or very light brown . She would have mixed 50:50 dbarrgh and henna powder with hot water, and applied the paste to her hair for one hour to get a light copper red hair shade. Although drbarrgj is semi permanent, henna is permanent and will take longer to fade and grow out. The colour process may be repeated to build the colour and keep it fresh and longer lasting.
In image 3 above, the starting colour would have been blonde or dark blonde or very light brown hair colour. She would have mixed a packet of dbarrgh powder with hot water, let it sit half an hour or longer for dye release, then applied the paste for one to two hours to her hair, wrapped with cling film, before washing out. She gets a mahogany cherry red tone as her starting colour was blonde or very light brown and she used dbarrgh on its own. Dbarrgh on its own on blonde hair will produce the mahogany tones and will wash out gradually.
In image 4 above, as with image 1, he would have started out with blonde or dark blonde or very light brown hair colour. He would have added just a tablespoon of henna to a full packet of dbarrgh to get a lighter copper tone than image 2.

Gives a beautiful red brick colour when you mix a tablespoon of this in with Renaissance henna (I just use hot water as per the packet, and no, it isn’t worth trying out Lush henna which I once tried and is nothing like as good as Renaissance BAQ or other Renaissance henna). To be more precise, the shade I get with this in the henna is a rich dark cherry/maroon/burgundy heading towards mahogany. This colour would be otherwise impossible to achieve from my dark blonde/light(mousy)brown original hair shade. My skin tone is a pale porcelain, and it looks great with it.
Frankly, this stunning and long-lasting colour does not exist in peroxide dye – which I cannot believe I used to use – nor the remarkable shine, health and thickness benefits of henna for the hair and scalp (before henna-ing, I struggled with oily, and sometimes itchy, hair and scalp, which henna completely fixes and rebalances).
Thank you, Renaissance Henna, and best wishes to all,
Claire
