Buy Indigo Hair Dye
I use the two step process on my very dark brown hair with few grays. The results are a very deep NATURAL back. I was worried that it might come out too fake of a blue black but not at all. Before the two step process I tried the natural black. No gray coverage at all on my hair type. But with the two step process I get exactly what I wanted. My hair looks like the girls hair in the picture for the Natural back color. I follow the instructions only things I do differently is when I mix the Henna I mix it with 100% lemon juice, and when I mix the Indigo I add a dash of salt. I have NO drying affect on my hair type but I have heard that some say lemon is drying. I love the way my hair feels and looks. I love that I can get a beautiful black color 100% NATURALLY!!! Thanx HennaColorLab!!
Hard to get use to but omg i love the color. It has a slight blue tint you can only really notice on lighter hair rather i was hoping for a uniform blue color. regardless with a little getting use to i will never go back to box hair dye this makes my hair feel so wonderful
The grey is now a beautiful deep blue almost like a blue-grey Baroque pearl color. The rest is which was a dark brown is now a deep rich blue black-brown color. I am interested to see how my roots and new grey grows out. I actually want more grey hair now so I can have more of the blue color.
Combining botanical benefits with a natural hair dyeing action, indigo powder has been used in hair care for ages. Extracted from the indigo plant, a small shrub, the medicinal uses of this herb are well known. When applied after a henna hair treatment, the indigo powder can produce a deep black dyeing action while nourishing your tresses for a soft and glossy finish. Here is everything you need to know about indigo powder - how to apply and use it.
The blue colouring agent is embedded in the nutritional content of indigo leaves. The compound responsible for the colouring action is called glycoside - a combination of glucose and Indoxyl. The dye is prepared by soaking the leaves in water and fermenting it. Once the glucose is absorbed by bacteria, Indoxyl (white indigo) is released, which further oxidizes into a rich blue dye. When preparing the powder, the leaves are partially fermented, sun-dried to a crisp texture and then powdered.
A natural hair dye, the indigo powder can be used to replace artificial hair dyes. The plant-based nature of indigo powder is gentle on your tresses and does not contain any of the harmful chemicals - like ammonia and peroxide.
Apart from being used as a natural hair dye in the powder form, indigo leaves boiled in coconut oil can be used as a home remedy for greying hair. Regular use of this concoction can not only reverse but prevent the greying of hair in the long term.
Indigo leaf hair oil can also be used as a hair growth treatment. Regular massage with indigo leaf oil can help fight scalp infections and stimulate the roots to promote new hair growth.
When used as a hair pack, the indigo powder can keep dandruff-causing scalp infections at bay. Even when used as hair oil, regular scalp massages can nourish your scalp and keep flaking to the minimum.
One of the best natural conditioners out there, indigo hair packs can be used to treat dry and brittle hair ends. This applies to indigo hair oil as well, with regular use, you end up with soft, smooth and bouncy hair.
Preparing an indigo powder paste for the hair is easier than preparing a henna hair pack. Measure out the amount of powder needed for your hair, because indigo powder, once mixed with water, cannot be stored for a second-time use. The standard measurements are 40 - 50 grams for short hair, approximately 80 grams for shoulder length hair and around 150 grams will be necessary for long hair.
Add the required amount of indigo powder in a non-metallic container - as a rule of thumb, glass bowls are the choice of container for mixing hair dyes. Add warm water to it and mix well to form a thick
