Ukrainian beauty brand Triuga presents Ayurvedic indigo powder. This is a 100% natural product produced in India. Indigo hair dye allows to obtain a wide range of shades without damaging the hair and drying it out. It also helps to keep the hair and scalp healthy and eliminate dandruff.
Indigo is a natural dye obtained from the dried and powdered leaves of the indigo plant (Indigofera tinctoria). True indigo has been cultivated worldwide for centuries so its native habitat is unknown. It is most widely cultivated in Asia and parts of Africa. India has been one of the main exporters of indigo for a long time. Indian indigo powder is noted for its high quality.
When used as a hair dye, indigo powder produces a moisturising, nourishing, bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. It makes the hair softer, smoother, tamer, and shinier. Due to its bactericidal properties, indigo inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause dandruff. It helps to eliminate dandruff and prevent its recurrence, as well as soothes itchy and flaky scalp.
Indigo dye has a distinctive blue colour so you should never use pure indigo powder unless you intend to dye your hair greenish blue. To dye your hair dark, you should mix indigo with henna. By varying the proportions, you can obtain different shades. Here are some of the most popular proportions of henna and indigo:
- for black colour: 2 parts indigo and 1 part henna;
- for chestnut colour: 1 part indigo and 1 part henna;
- for golden bronze colour: 1 part indigo and 2 parts henna;
- for dark blond/light brown colour: 1 part indigo and 1 part henna, without leaving the dye on the hair for too long.
These are the main shades that you can obtain by mixing henna and indigo. You should also keep in mind that the result will depend on the original colour of your hair.
Directions. To dye your hair dark, mix indigo with henna (proportions depend on the shade you want to obtain). Add hot water (80°) and mix until smooth. Leave for an hour. Apply the dye to dry, clean hair and put on a shower cap. Leave for 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the desired result. Rinse your hair thoroughly without shampooing. The final colour will show within 24 hours. Do not apply indigo powder to light hair without mixing it with henna. Do a strand test before dyeing.
Ingredients. Indigofera Tinctoria (Indigo) Powder.
