About this product

Indigo Powder for Hair, the Second Step to Natural Black

Indigo powder for hair is how natural black is made. Henna on its own stains hair a copper-red. Indigo, applied over it, turns that red into brown or black, depending on how much you use and how many times you repeat it. That two-step method is the only way to get dark shades from plants alone.

Ours is one ingredient: the leaf of Indigofera tinctoria, known in Tamil Nadu as avuri and neelamari. No PPD, no ammonia, no metallic salts and no added colour. If a powder promises black in one step, the black is coming from somewhere else.

Use it with our Henna Powder, or get both in the Henna + Indigo Kit.

The ritual

How to use

1Henna firstColour your hair with henna and rinse with water. Indigo goes on the same day or the next.

2Mix just beforeMix with warm water into a yoghurt-like paste. Use it within 15 minutes, because indigo loses colour in the bowl.

3Apply and waitCoat the hennaed hair from roots to ends. Leave for 1 to 2 hours.

4Rinse with waterRinse with water only. The colour keeps deepening for 2 to 3 days, so skip shampoo for 48 hours.

Tip: Do a strand test first, especially on chemically treated or previously dyed hair, and a patch test 48 hours before.

Questions

FAQs

Can I use indigo powder on its own?

Not on grey or light hair. Indigo alone can turn it blue-green. Apply henna first, then indigo. On very dark hair indigo alone adds a cool tint, but the two-step method is what gives an even brown to black.

What colour will I get?

Usually dark brown after one round of henna then indigo, and a deeper, blacker shade if you repeat the indigo step. Results depend on your natural colour and how many greys you have.

How much indigo do I need?

About 100 g for short to shoulder-length hair and 200 g for long or thick hair, per application. Grey roots alone need about 50 g.

Why must I use it within 15 minutes?

Indigo releases its colour quickly and then fades in the bowl. Mix it just before you apply it, unlike henna, which needs hours to rest.

Is it free from chemicals?

Yes. It is 100% indigo leaf with no PPD, ammonia, metallic salts or added colour.

Why does my hair look greenish right after rinsing?

Indigo can look slightly green or blue at first. It darkens over the next 2 to 3 days as it oxidises, which is why we say skip shampoo for 48 hours.

Can men use it for beards?

Yes, with the same two steps: henna first, then indigo. Patch test first, as beard skin can be sensitive.

Is it safe on chemically treated hair?

Indigo has no PPD or ammonia, but results on dyed or treated hair are less predictable. Always strand test first.
