    Hi all,

    To get a black or deep brown colour from henna & indigo follow the simple steps :

    Use henna first for your base tone..& then indigo to create rich black hair color..


    • apply a henna paste to your hair to create a rich red base..
    • apply indigo over the freshly hennaed & washed hair to create the deep black hair color.

    • Mix indigo with warm water to make the consistency of thick yoghurt..( optional : add 1 tsp of salt per 100 gms of indigo powder for darker color ) allow to sit for 15 mins.
    • Apply the indigo paste to dry or damp ( previously hennaed ) hair in sections.
    • Allow to soak in for 1-2 hrs.
    • Rinse with plain water to remove any residue.
    • oil it & on next day shampoo & condition.
    • repeat monthly for healthy, shiny & thick black locks.
    Take about 2 days for the color to oxidize & show its true shade..u can also add some drops of your favorite essential oil to the paste mix to get nice scent.
    Immediately use indigo paste to get the right color.

    Well Friends....Here is my experience with Henna and Indigo powder.

    Firstly i would like to thank each one discussing on this thread.

    Even i had a severe problem of premature graying....i kept applying mehandi at home ..n later on went to a parlor for henna application. All of a sudden the grey hairs increased to double , triple times ....then someone actually told me that the parlor lady used to mix a small quantity of hair color to give a dark brown color to the hair..from then i stopped going to that parlour ..and applied mehandi myself. As the graying was more than 50% ...applying henna alone would not look nice as it would become Orange or red in color. Then i started my hunt for an alternate option. I landed up with chemical hair color ....
    The result was that i started losing a lot of hair ...so had to forcefully stop it ...then googled a lot for alternative ...where i came to know That there is a powder called Indigo. Inspite of collecting a lot of info i was still doubtful to apply it. But after going through this thread ...I gave it a try ....
    WOW !! the result is really amazing....My hair has turned black without any chemicals ...:)
