I dyed my hair black months ago and it is somewhat faded to a brown/black. Now if I tried Caca Brun Mama henna from lush would that help me get back my brunete-ish color ,or would it make my hair look more black?I have been thinking about henna for awhile now and I really think I may give it a try.

Do you want brown, or do you want black? I'm slightly confused.
If you want black, use their caca noir. If you're going for brown, caca brun is your best bet, but it *might* push it to black anyway if your starting hair is dark enough.
ETA: Next time you're in a LUSH store, ask them for a sample of their caca brun. I got a sample of caca noir that way. They won't always give one out since they won't cut a good block for it, but if they have a block that got damaged, they'll cut you a slice. Free, too. Then strand test.

I want my brunette with reddish tint back.

I second Akurah's view that even the Brun might push you to black. I've seen some reviewers complain of that on the Lush North American forum.
I would ask for sample of the Marron as well as Brun to strand test. I'm thinking that you're already brown-black, so you don't want to go any further in that direction. I suspect the Marron would put a deep chestnut sheen over what you have already - and as it contains less indigo than the Brun you should manage to avoid going much darker: just richer.
