Indigo powder

Uses: Fabric/yarn dye, hair dye (only when used with our pure henna), soap dye.

Note that this unfermented indigo powder yields a blue/green/purple colour to fabric and soap. It can go through a fermentation process to yield a deeper blue colour. Contact us for instructions on how to ferment indigo powder.

Indigo powder comes from the dried leaves of the Indigofera tinctoria shrub. Our indigo is organically grown in northern India. This plant has been used for centuries to dye fabric, yarn and soap and also to dye hair. Indigo must be used in conjunction with our pure henna powder to dye hair.

Our indigo powder contains high concentrations of Indigotin and Indirubin, the two natural plant dyes which give the blue/lilac colour.

Used in combination with henna, indigo dyes hair in various shades of brown to black. You can either do a 2-step dyeing process using first pure henna and then pure indigo, or you can mix the henna and indigo together.

Mixing this pure indigo with either the 100% Herbal soft black or dark brown dye assists greatly with grey coverage.

As this is a natural product, the colour may vary from batch to batch. For external use only.
