Sorry, missed this one. :)

I have heard people say that the cocoa butter helps with the
conditioning, although I haven't done my whole hair so I couldn't say
for sure myself.

Lush's own instructions only say to mix with hot (not boiling) water
and to keep it warm while you work with it, and I suspect that you
need something hot to work with the cocoa butter. However, warm lemon
juice might be a good idea, since Rouge already contains some lemon
juice and since it doesn't contain any indigo. The ones with indigo in
seem to work less well with acid.

The henna comes in big pressed blocks, not as a powder, which you can
either grate or simply cover with warm liquid so that it starts
dissolving. But there warm/hot liquid is a must, and it will take some
work to get it all dissolved if you don't grate it in advance.

These are the ingredients in Rouge: Red Henna (Lawsonia inermis),
Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Fresh Lemon Juice (Citrus limonum),
Powdered Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Clove Bud Oil (Eugenia
caryopyllus), Perfume.
