What’s Inside? (Ingredients Breakdown)
Henna Paste:
- Freshly ground henna leaves
- Lemon juice
- Tea decoction
- Clove oil
- Eucalyptus oil
- And other traditional Ayurvedic ingredients
It’s pre-soaked and fermented for 24+ hours, making it deeply nourishing and more effective than dry henna powders.
Indigo Powder:
- Made from 100% pure Indigofera tinctoria leaves
- No added chemicals or dyes
- Triple-sifted for a smooth application
How to Use It (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Henna Application
- Apply the ready-to-use Henna Paste on clean, dry hair.
- Leave it on for 1.5 to 2 hours (some users keep it for 3+ hours for deeper conditioning).
- Rinse thoroughly with water (no shampoo).
Step 2: Indigo Application
- Mix the Indigo Powder with warm water (no iron utensils!).
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to activate.
- Apply it to towel-dried hair after henna.
- Leave it for 1.5 to 2 hours for natural black or deep brown results.
- Rinse off with plain water. Shampoo only after 24–48 hours for best color development.
Color Payoff & Results
After this two-step process, here’s what you can expect:
- Grey coverage that looks natural—not harsh or jet black
- Reddish-orange tint after the henna step
- Deep brown to black tones after indigo step (depending on how long you leave it)
- Smooth, soft, and shiny hair
- A healthy scalp and less hair breakage
💡 Pro Tip: The color deepens over 48 hours, so don’t judge results immediately after rinsing.
