Indigo Powder For Hair
Indigo dye contains a bluish color which comes from leaves of plant known as indigofera tinctoria. This plant is grown in tropical environment, Indigo powder smells like fresh peas, when mixed with water, it smells more like nature, like a freshly mowed lawn.
How to apply indigo powder on hair?
Indigo powder is applied same way as henna, but indigo itself does not really work on gray hair. It has to be either mixed with henna or applied on henna dyed hair. Here is a general idea on working with indigo powder to obtain desired results, these recommendations are assuming your original hair color is lighter than your desired color.
| Desired Color | Mixture |
| Light Brown | 80% Henna + 20% Indigo +10% Cassia Obovata |
| Medium Brown | 60% Henna + 25% Indigo+ 15% Cassia obovata |
| Dark Brown | 40% Henna + 40% Indigo+ 20% Amla |
| Black / JET Black | 50% Henna + 50% Indigo (Two Step Process) |
** Please note our pre-mixed colors i.e medium brown, dark brown contain other natural ingredients in correct ratios to obtain perfect desired results.
Why use Indigo powder to color your hair?
Indigo powder is safe to use as its without any harmful chemicals. It’s a natural dye that has been used for centuries for dyeing hair dark brown, black. More shades can be achieved by mixing with herbs like henna powder, cassia obovata, amla powder etc. Indigo dye not only helps coloring the grey naturally, it also adds a shine and conditions hair.

Perfect Hair Color
I've been using this product for 8 years and love it. I have very long hair - it's the best product on the market to hide GREY hair, the color lasts the longest and the shine is out of this world. My hair stylist won't color my hair ($300) as she said I do such a great job myself and I credit it all to this product!!!
Amazing Color
I have used the Medium ash brown for years. I tried a different brand and different shade for my hair. Then I tried Indigo powder from The Henna Guys Online. It turned out so perfect. Please do not discontinue this product! It is hard to find in stores now.
Really Nice Product
I used the natural Indigo color and it worked beautifully. Mild smell compared to other hair dyes, washes off skin easily, and the color is actually Indigo as shown on the pack (not blue or green or any other shade). I have dyed my hair a couple of dozen times and I think this is one of the best products I've used.
Finally
I've tried all different hair dyes, and as much I like the color right after applying Indigo Powder by The Henna Guys, most fade quickly and the color become dull. I decided I wanted to switch things up and instead of getting a soft black I wanted to try a blue-black. Let me tell you this color is amazing! Indoors you can see a difference, as far as darkness goes, it shows very well. But as soon as sunlight hits your hair, you can see all the beautiful blue tones! It hasn't faded the slightest bit. Bravo, The Henna Guys! Great product.
Best Hair Color Out there
My hair is coarse & aging. I have never used a boxed dye or powder color for hair that actually made my hair look healthier! Colored 4 days ago with Indigo Powder, went to the salon for a cut today & my stylist couldn't believe how soft my hair is :) Love that it only took a while to cover my white (grey) roots perfectly.
