First off: I didn't use any instructions, on the packaging, I watched YouTube videos before I came across this organic coloring solution, So I already knew that there was issues with the instructions from what people were saying on YouTube videos.. Most people fail because they don't understand that both the henna and indigo have to be activated before you can use them as dye.. you can't just mix with water and then just throw it on your hair.. It's like an 8-hour process all together.. The henna, and the indigo both have to be activated before the dyes will release into your hair.. It's a process that takes about 4 hours setting, and 2 hours applied to the hair.. Hannah has to be mixed with warm water to the consistency of yogurt, I added lemon juice, black tea, and iodized salt, Then I mix it together, covered and let it sit for 4 hours, Then I applied it to my hair, covered my hair, and let it work for 2 hours, Then I washed it out with just plain water.. Most people say the indigo don't have to sit for 4 hours but, I ended up letting mine sit for 10 minutes and then applying to my hair and next time I think I'm going to let it sit for 4 hours, because the indigo didn't come out as black as it could have been, and as black as I have seen when others used it.. I mixed black tea, salt, warm water, and lemon juice in the indigo.. After the indigo I washed it out with plain water first, Then I used head and shoulders shampoo and conditioner to wash it out a second time.. I am very happy with the results, I might do a second application of the indigo.. I have heard people say it's supposed to get darker over time but I don't know, This is my first time using this solution.. Definitely satisfied with the product, I will definitely use it again in the near future.. Read more
This worked great! I just did a henna treatment last night. I boiled water then steeped 3 bags of black tea until hot/warm not boiling. I added my own vinegar from pickled beets I had marinating. I welcomed the red color from the beets over the orange color of henna. I then let sit for 5 hours. I washed my hair then left the henna in overnight with a shower cap on. It was runny and a big mess but that was me using too much tea/water I rinsed out in the morning with only water. I then mixed the indigo with bottled water and a pinch of salt. I used significantly less indigo than henna because I only wanted to darken the henna over my edges and in my bang with indigo. I put the henna on as soon as I mixed it. I let it sit without a shower cap until it started turning blue/black then covered with a shower cap and left it in for 2 hours. The indigo did stain everything that it touched even the floor, walls, my nails not just towels. This is some strong color that bleach didnโt help. To my surprise with only 2 hours of the indigo use I washed it out using conditioner and I am happy with the color it took very well. Another popular brand of indigo gave me crippling migraines years ago so I skipped the indigo for years. This indigo I feel a small headache but thatโs from broken sleep due to this being on overnight and running and a slight effect from the indigo which I felt going into my scalp since I must have some kind of sensitivity to indigo. But this one is not bad. Iโm happy to have found this. Read more
I love the idea of using organic henna hair dye, but the product doesnโt include clear instructions on how much henna and indigo to mix. I had to research and experiment on my own to find the right ratio. The process was messy, and the final result was just okay. Read more
I bought this combo for my gray hair and I don't have a lot to cover. I am from India and I know very well how henna works on hair. This powder left no color whatsoever, not even the slightest yellow or orange tinge that a typical henna powder leaves even the worst of any kind. So, I am not sure what kind of powder is this or what happened during its processing or maybe the indigo powder combo dilutes the henna effect. I used the ratio of both as mentioned on the box for dark brown. It does smell like henna but the coloring effect is nowhere near the typical henna powder. Very disappointed, as hair coloring with henna is a laborious process, not to mention the smell in the house and waste of my time with zero results. Would not recommend for coloring. Read more
This is an excellent replacement for artificial coloring dye. It is natural powder and is very good. The specifications provided on the packet are perfect for anyone to follow The result after applying to my hair for 45 min is excellent and the color lasted for about 3-4 weeks Read more

Normally I donโt write reviews but I had to share my experience. I did this in a two day process because I didnโt read the directions carefully but it all worked out lol Day 1 I mixed the henna with egg and Greek yogurt for added moisture. I let it sit for 3-4 hours (I was under my hooded dryer for 1 hour) All of my grays turned a copper color. Day 2 mixed 1 part henna and 4 parts indigo and Greek yogurt. I let it sit for 1 hour and I used my hooded dryer again. I love the results! This will be a staple for me Read more
