Ukrainian beauty brand Triuga presents Ayurvedic indigo powder. This is a 100% natural hair dye produced in India. Suitable for all hair types, indigo dye allows to obtain a wide range of shades. It also helps to eliminate dandruff, keeps the hair strong and healthy, and restores its natural shine.
Indigo is a natural dye obtained from the dried and powdered leaves of Indigofera tinctoria (true indigo). True indigo has been cultivated worldwide for centuries so its native habitat is unknown. India has been one of the main exporters of indigo for a long time. Indian indigo powder is noted for its high quality and wide range of useful properties.
As a hair care product, indigo powder is valued for its moisturising, nourishing, anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect. It makes the hair softer and tamer, restores its natural shine and elasticity, and helps to eliminate dandruff. Moreover, indigo strengthens hair roots, reduces hair loss, and stimulates hair growth.
Indigo dye has a distinctive blue colour so you should never use pure indigo powder unless you intend to dye your hair blue or green. To dye your hair, you should mix indigo with henna. The proportions will depend on the shade you want to obtain. 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.
