Indigo Powder

To get a natural black shade using indigo powder for hair, you typically need to follow a two-step process. First, apply henna (which gives a reddish tint), rinse it off after a few hours, and then apply pure indigo powder for hair mixed with warm water. Leave the indigo paste on your hair for 1–2 hours before washing it off. This method gives the most effective and lasting black color.

Yes, you can use natural indigo powder for hair by itself. When used alone, it usually gives a bluish tint, especially on lighter or grey hair. For a deep black tone, it’s recommended to use it after a henna application. Always use the best indigo powder for hair to achieve rich, long-lasting color results.

When applied correctly with henna, indigo powder for hair can last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair type, how often you wash your hair, and the quality of the indigo used. Using pure indigo powder for hair helps ensure better color retention and a more natural finish.
