Indigo powder is a natural dye obtained from the plant Indigofera tinctoria. It’s commonly used to color hair naturally, especially in combination with henna, to achieve shades ranging from brown to black. Here’s a brief description:
1. Hair Coloring:l Indigo powder, when combined with henna, imparts natural shades of blue-black to hair. The process involves first dyeing the hair with henna to impart a reddish-orange hue, followed by indigo application for achieving deeper, darker tones.
2. Natural Properties: It’s known for its natural properties, lacking harsh chemicals often found in conventional hair dyes. However, some individuals might be sensitive to it, so a patch test is recommended before full application.
3. Application: To use indigo powder, mix it with water to create a paste and apply it to clean, dry hair. Cover the hair with a shower cap or wrap it in a towel and leave the paste on for a few hours. Rinse thoroughly to reveal the desired color.
Always follow the instructions carefully and perform strand tests to determine the resulting color, as it can vary based on individual hair types and previous treatments.
