Husband brings Anne back a dye (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

henna

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a dye' is the definition.
(reddish-brown dye)

'husband brings anne back' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'husband' could be 'h' (abbreviation) and 'h' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'anne' is 'enna' which is within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for henna that I've seen before include "Local colour" , "Red hair dye" , "hair colouring" , "Reddish cosmetic dye" , "Pigment used on skin" .)
