Indigo is a natural Ayurvedic plant-based dye (vegan) that is used with henna to color hair reddish-brown, brown, dark brown, and up to black tones. It lasts 4-6 weeks and will cover greys.In this video, henna and indigo hair coloring expert Khadija is showing you how to properly mix your indigo for optimal results.
TIPS TO REMEMBER:
Indigo can only be mixed with warm to hot distilled water and some aloe vera powder for moisture (only a small amount is needed). Salt is optional as some claim it helps the indigo stick better to their hair strands. Indigo only needs max 20-30 minutes for dye release and it's ready to use.
Do NOT use indigo alone! It MUST be used with henna either as a 1-step process by mixing it with henna, or as a 2-step process after applying a henna treatment.
DISCLAIMER:
Indigo can be an allergen even though it's a natural plant dye. Do skin patch tests before using any new henna and indigo hair color treatments or Ayurvedic herbs.

Hi ! I have dark ashy blond hair that's more on the thin and slightly wavy side of hair texture. I've done cassia masks in the past to save my hair from various chemical bleaching/colours that ruined my hair and scalp. It worked great but i'd like to try and dye my hair brown (not too dark i don't want it too be too harsh on my Caucasian paleness 😅) but I'm terrified to use indigo. Is their an minimum amount i could use for it to have lighter tones? Do you have any tips? 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks

@elizabethbirdallgreer2773 2 года назад

I heard that it isn’t necessary to use henna if the natural hair is already black. So, one step with Indigo is all I begin to do, and it works fine. I believe, the two step is only because a person having a bit of gray, than the two step is better to cover the gray; but, if it’s not a lot of gray, why not just use the henna only where needed. I am happy with the one step.

Indigo doesn't stain as long as henna, isn't that right? I read it's only about 2 weeks. I certainly find my hair gets redder over time suggesting that the indigo is fading.

@HennaSooq Месяц назад

Henna & Indigo can sometimes fade over time as does any type of dye (weather and elements cause this or heat over time) and it also grows out so it’ll eventually come out on its own fully over time. Henna hair dye & indigo lasts 4-6 weeks but depends on hair growth.

Hello. Sometimes it can, if you're allergic to indigo. Did you patch test each herb to see if you are? You can do so by placing some mixed paste on your inner arm, leave it on for a few minutes and then see if it itches or leaves any red marks. OR it might be possible it didn't all wash out well. Do you use a Cleansing CoWash after to wash it out or ensure all of it is out? DO you have a lot of hair?

I will do next time. This way of colouring hair is my last resort as I'm allergic to chemical dyes. I have 99 per cent grey hair and I am hoping that I'm not allergic to any of the herbs.

Thank you for informative video. I didn't get the last part, once the indigo is ready, what should i do next? 1) mix it with henna powder? 2) mix it with henna paste (henna, amla and water)? 3) mix it with henna paste (henna, aloe vera powder, and water)? or 4) after done with henna in hair (2 hours), then wash the hair, dry it and then apply this indigo paste into hair again? Can you elaborate more about this part? I am interested in deep dark brown color or jet black! Thank you 🌷

@HennaSooq 7 лет назад

Sure. Welcome! 1. Once the indigo paste is ready you should have already let your henna paste sit 3-4 hours. Your henna paste has to be made first and then you prepare your indigo once the henna paste is almost ready. 2. Yes then once the indigo paste is ready mix it into the ready henna paste (the henna paste can contain amla powder, or hair oils and your liquid ie water etc...). 3. Yes you can do the same as #2 if you want to add aloe vera powder to indigo and to henna are both okay. 4. So #1-3 are the steps for a brown recipe range (from reddish brown to dark brown as then it now depends on how much of each henna and indigo used) so if you want to apply indigo alone without mixing it into the henna paste, so this is a two step process then you're hair will be black. Both henna and indigo must each be left in the hair 3-4 hours for best results. A dark brown recipe would be 1 step and black would be 2 steps. I hope this helps.

The information is sometimes overwhelming so I need short clear answers. 1) Can you please share the different ratios BETWEEN the henna to indigo to achieve approximate different shades from brown, to dark brown, to black please? 2)How much henna and indigo for short-med length? 3) When i have done a full head of colouring with henna and indigo, how long do I have to wait to touch up, and would I only be doing the roots? 4) Do I start on freshly washed hair/no conditioner? 5) Can I deep condition after henna but before doing the indigo colour, or would it be best to do a deep condition after completing both the henna and indigo? 6) What type of other treatments can I do on my hair and how often after colouring, for example if I want to use amla, brahmi or hibiscus etc (I have these in my stash). 7) I hear that lemon juice is a great liquid to help release the dye in henna. Should all the liquid then be lemon or can it be diluted? Does the lemon need to be warm to hot? ) Lastly, if oils can be added to the henna, how much? Does adding the oil affect or hinder the dye uptake on the hair?

Love your products for years! Question; I've often read that you should use cool water with indigo (as opposed to warm for the henna), and it should be used immediately within 10 minutes?

@HennaSooq 7 лет назад

Thank you! For our indigo we definitely don't recommend cool water. Warm liquids trigger dye release and we've found that warm to hot always works really well with our indigo. Please try to allow at least 20-30 minutes for dye release.

@SisterFromAnotherPlanet 7 лет назад

Well shoot, I've been using cold water every time! I will try warm now!

What if I already have dark brown hair and want a blueish black color?

@HennaSooq 3 года назад

Hi! Sorry for my delayed reply. Yes you can go blueish black toned. It just takes many applications and patience. A two step process along with indigo in both steps helps but it can go blue black with consistency and many applications to build up the color.

Is henna another type of powder?

@HennaSooq 5 лет назад

Yes henna is another type of powdered plant leaves. Henna alone usually will dye the hair and skin a reddish tone. We recommend it be used with indigo for best results. Without henna, in the indigo process, the indigo could make your hair have a green hue. Everything is right here for color: www.hennasooq.com/hair-color/

Hello you said do not use indigo alone or it can give you green hair, however if I have very dark brown hair with natural reddish undertones and no grey hair at all can I use indigo alone?

@HennaSooq 5 лет назад

Hello! Unfortunately it can still give your hair a green hue. Do you want to make your hair a black tone? You would need henna first and indigo as the second step. Also indigo without henna to cling to doesn't really work well as well.

@amya.3174 5 лет назад

@@HennaSooq Hello, thank you for your answer! Yes I want my hair to be jet black, I don't want any brown tones or anything just REALLY black. Right now my hair is dark brown but when I am under the sunlight it has so much reddish tones I can't stand it! If I use henna before using indigo, if the indigo doesn't cling onto my hair will I have red hair?

@HennaSooq 5 лет назад

@@amya.3174 the indigo needs the henna to cling better but definitely add indigo to your henna in the first step. This will create a darker base and then you can follow up with indigo as a second step for a true, dark black tone. Let me know how that turns out for you - Khadija

@jo.randall 7 лет назад

just a quick question, ive been using the 2 step henna and indigo process for some time to get black hair, it looks really dark and vibrant but the color fades very quickly, i am having trouble getting it to stick to my hair in places, the underside of my hair (back of the neck and behind the head) have started to hold the darker color better, but the top of my head fades in a few washes, i use fresh henna and indigo each time and i add salt. my water temp is fine. I am so sad as i cannot use hair dye becuase i have developed a severe allergy to the ppd, and i really want to get long and luscious black hair again. is there anything else you could suggest that could help me in getting it to stick

@HennaSooq 7 лет назад

I'd recommend you add some indigo to your first step to keep it sticking longer and better. Make sure to use a color-safe gentle shampoo and conditioner. Many clients rinse out their henna and indigo treatments with cool water so as to lock in the color (we heard it works for them). Which henna and indigo have you been using from us?

@christine1962ful 4 года назад

@@HennaSooq when you say colour safe, are you suggesting shampoos made for coloured hair? Do they work with natural dye colours, since they were created for chemically dyed hair. Maybe a baby shampoo might work? Would love if you can feed back on this!

@elizabethbirdallgreer2773 2 года назад

@@christine1962ful well, I heard we aren’t to shampoo the hair right after for a few days because it will immediately take the color out. It must settle in first than just rinse with cool or cold water after applying the application. I personally prefer the one step, pinch of salt and vinegar. I also put in coconut oil and if feeling it coconut milk. My hair is beautifully black after having all that fun preparing the outcome. In addition, I wrap it for 2.5 hours so it will not dry on me. If it dries that’s it! It stops working.

I think 2 step application work better.. First apply henna f0r 3 or 4 hrs. On without oil hair.. then next day apply indigo process for 2-3 hrs. And don't use shampoo and oil for 2 or 3...after 2 or 3 days shampoo and oil can be use.. Repeat this process after 20 days.. Again and again application of this 2 step process will make hair 95% black (can get desire results)....keep patience 😊 for getting result and product should be 100% pure

I applied indigo and henna together, but indigo did not work. so better to apply separately, which is too much to do. Who has time to do all this shit? I tried them both, but I went back to old dying, which is easy for not healthy for skin as well as I have already lost my eye vision due to chemical dying. I wish if there was any easy and no side effect option available.
