How To
Before coloring your hair always prewash your hair with one of our hair washes or one of our shampoo bars. We recommend our Soapnut Hair Wash for best results and especially for resistant and hard to color grey hairs. Applying onto damp hair strands, makes the application go on much easier. For added moisture, 1-2 tsp of aloe vera powder can be added to 100 grams of indigo. Since we are a DIY henna hair coloring brand and use these methods, there are several ways to get the color you would like: Reddish Brown: 3 parts henna to 1 part indigo (also known as 70% henna and 30% indigo). This is done in a one step coloring application. Follow the directions to mix your henna and indigo as found on the back of then packages. Brown: Equal parts of henna and indigo (50/50). This is done in a one step coloring application. Follow the directions to mix your henna and indigo as found on the back of then packages. Dark Brown: 3 parts indigo and 1 part henna (also known as 70% indigo and 30% henna). This is done in a one step coloring application. Follow the directions to mix your henna and indigo as found on the back of then packages. For all henna hair coloring treatments, rinse out with our Cleansing CoWash once the dyeing process is complete. Moisturize, dry and style as usual. Do not deep condition after coloring as it can remove some of the dye. We recommend you use a water-based leave in conditioner to moisturize your hair or a light hair oil such as our Golden Jojoba Oil or Camellia Oil. Do note that henna based dyes, being plant-based, sometimes will take more then 1 application to get best coverage (even 3-4 to really build up especially on stubborn and virgin hair). Color can be repeated every 4-6 weeks or root touch ups in between as needed. On average you'll need to use about this much according to your hair length: Storage: We recommend you store all Ayurvedic herbs in a cool dark place, fridge or freezer and away from moisture. Warning: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Always test all henna, herbs and products on your skin/scalp before use for possible allergies. Henna and Ayurvedic herbs can be drying to some hair types. Be sure to add necessary moisturizing ingredients to your hair treatments before and after. Henna can also loosen the curl pattern. Be sure to use amla or zizyphus powders or masks to maintain curl pattern. Indigo must not be used alone. Henna is the base and without it, the indigo will leave your hair a green tint.

Love it
I use this to condition my hair after henna and it works great and I am happy that it is finely ground so no little bits get stuck in your hair.
I purchase the organic indigo and it worked pretty well.Has a smooth texture but it didn't cover my grays so I have to order the regular indigo but I would recommend it to someone who doesn't have a head full of gray hair.
I love this Indigo and I love that it is organic!! I use it to cover greys in my naturally dark brown/black hair. It is the smoothest Indigo I have ever used and the smell is milder than others I have tried. I am a happy customer.
I have been using henna and indigo for over 5 years to cover my grey hair and it works very well. The only thing I don’t like is that when I use the indigo by itself after using a combination of henna and indigo ( I have stubborn grey hairs), the indigo does not go on as smoothly as when it is combined and this gets a bit frustrating. The whole process is time consuming. But if you don’t mind all this, it’s overall very effective if you want jet black hair.
