The complete two-step method for black or dark brown gray coverage: 100g Pure Henna plus 100g Pure Indigo. Nothing else to buy.
Indigo cannot dye gray hair on its own. It has no red pigment to bind to, so applied alone it slides off and washes out — which is exactly what happens when people buy indigo by itself and are disappointed. Henna first, indigo second. That sequence is the whole secret, and this bundle gives you both halves in the right amounts.
"I have a lot of gray hair. Wanted something natural instead of the bad chemicals in the hair dye. So I bought the indigo to mix it with Henna. You can't color gray with indigo alone."

What shade will I get?
-
Dark brown — henna 1 hour, then indigo 45 minutes
-
Deep brown-black — henna 2 hours, then indigo 1 hour
-
Jet black — henna 2 hours, then indigo 1.5–2 hours, or repeat the indigo step the following day
Longer indigo time equals darker result. You control the depth.

The two-step process
-
Henna. Mix 100g with warm water to a yogurt-thick paste. Apply to clean, dry hair. Leave 1–2 hours. Rinse with water only — do not shampoo. Your hair will look coppery-red at this stage. That is correct. Do not stop here.
-
Indigo. Mix fresh, apply immediately to the still-damp henna-dyed hair, leave 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on the depth you want, rinse with water only.
-
Wait 48 hours before shampooing. The color oxidizes and darkens over the first two to three days.
The two most common mistakes are shampooing between steps and shampooing too soon after. Both strip the color before it sets. Full video walkthrough at hennacosmetics.com.
