Naturally Darken Your Hair with Pure Indigo: How It Works and Why It’s Better

💙 What Is Pure Indigo Hair Dye?

Indigo is a 100% natural plant-based dye derived from the Indigofera Tinctoria plant. It’s known for its ability to turn hair dark blue, deep brown, or black — without the use of synthetic chemicals or harmful dyes.

At Henna Cosmetics, our Pure Indigo Powder is finely sifted, chemical-free, and made to work seamlessly with henna for beautiful, lasting results.


🌿 How Does It Work?

Indigo on its own typically adds a blue-black tint, especially on gray or light hair.
When used after a henna application, it produces:

  • Deep brown (when applied for shorter time)

  • Jet black (when applied longer)

The 2-step henna + indigo method is the gold standard for natural black hair dye and full gray coverage.


🧴 How to Apply Pure Indigo

For Black Hair (2-Step Method):

  1. Step 1: Apply henna and leave it on for 2–3 hours. Rinse.

  2. Step 2: Mix indigo powder with warm water (no need to rest). Apply immediately.

  3. Leave indigo on for 1.5 to 3 hours depending on desired darkness. Rinse.

  4. Avoid shampooing for 24–48 hours while the color oxidizes.

Indigo should be used right after mixing — do not let it sit!


💡 Tips for Best Results

  • Use distilled water or salt water for better binding

  • Apply to clean, freshly hennaed hair

  • Keep hair warm during application for deeper color

  • Repeat monthly to maintain dark tones and cover grays


🎨 Color Results to Expect

  • Gray hair (after henna): Turns black or dark brown

  • Henna-orange hair: Becomes deep brown or black

  • Dark brown/black hair: Richer tone and shine boost
