1) Take a bowl and pour the desired amount of indigo (usually used in combination with henna).

​

 2) Add water (the indigo does not need any acid substance to release the color).

​

3) Stir until the dough is the same density as a yogurt.

​

4) Mix very well if you use the indigo together with henna to avoid a not homogeneous color.

Indigo should be used immediately and does not require oxidation.

If there is no white hair, you can apply it on your own.

 

WARNING: do not use the indigo alone if you have white hair because it will turn blue.

DOUBLE PASSAGE METHOD TO COVER WHITE HAIR AND GET BLACK HAIR:

​

 

To cover white hair and you want a black color we recommend the double pass or first henna and then indigo.

​

Prepare the henna (lawsonia Inermis), apply it to the hair and rinse and dry after the setting time.

​

The white hair will have turned a red-orange color, do not worry, apply the indigo from the root to the tips and rinse off after the shutter speed.

​

Result covered white hair and a beautiful glossy black.

It is possible that to obtain the desired effect we need more applications.

​

​

​

​

​

If it is used with the henna for brown, brown and mahogany shades

Prepare the henna as explained above and add the indigo.

​

​

​

Curiosity:

​

It seems that the addition of 1 teaspoon of salt or bicarbonate helps to make the color take root better and to make it "download" less.
