I was a bit worried about the bad stories I had heard about some indigo powders. So I did the color test, paper towel test and smell test before applying. I did the two step henna and indigo because I wanted to get rid of the two toned hair I had from the old hair dye and get rid of some grays. The henna was very smooth and creamy and I had a lot of left over. So my mistake was to treat indigo the same. I made less of it and when I stared applying I noticed it was gritty and heavy and took more than what I thought. So I was not able to fully saturate my hair like I was supposed to. It was a bit more difficult to wash out. But I am so glad my scalp and hair did good with it no bad reactions. The grays didn’t cover but the rest of my hair looks good! So next time I will mix more indigo. Read more
Purchased because I have switched over to using Henna instead of traditional hair dye. I've noticed that my hair is definitely healthier and the overall color coverage is good. I use another brand in red and brown and I love how they look on my "non-new growth" hair. Since I have some salt and pepper spots, I've seen that indigo is supposed to help combat your hair from looking too orange or green. The color is definitely darker. I still have not perfected my application because I can't seem to get even coverage, which have anything to do with this product. All user error/inexperience/lack of patience. I do love that it has an interior bag, which helps keep it from getting too messy. The other brand is a bag in a cardboard box, which once the bag is open, it's just open. This one I didn't have to put it in a ziploc bag to keep it from spilling while not in use. Read more
I have dark brown hair and lots of gray hair in the front and on both sides. I used this product in a few different ways and decided on the following method: I apply henna all over my hair. This used to be sufficient in the past but not anymore because I have a lot more gray hair. A few days later, I apply indigo and henna ( 3 to 1 ratio) mixture only to the front and sides rather than all over my head. I keep it for a 90 to 120 minutes and wash it off just with water. No shampoo. This part is crucial. I used shampoo the first time and the color did not stay. 48 hours later I shampoo my hair. Once I used 3 to 1 indigo to henna on all of head and my hair turned black which i did not like. Read more

I have tried a few indigo powder, including The Henna Guys and others. This is the best, it produces the most intense and longest-lasting color. Read more
I've been using henna for several months. My hair is mostly white, especially my crown. I thought it if I kept using it my hair would become more auburn. I mixed a heaping tablespoon of henna in some water and let it sit overnight. The next day I added 3 heaping tablespoons to my glass measuring cup of the indigo and a teaspoon of salt. Added boiling water until I had about 1 ~ 8 oz cup of indigo mixture. Put on my unwashed hair for 3 hours & wore a plastic shower cap. It was hard to rinse out. Has a bit of residue gumminess so I had to put some conditioner in my hair to be able to comb through my hair with my fingers. Henna & Indigo give me headaches too. I always take a benedryl before I use it, and sometimes one after as well. I need to wait one more day to wash so I'll update if it washes out. I am somewhat new to using natural dyes. I'm happy to be closer to my natural hair color. My roots (which were just coming in) are a blueish green color, lol. But it's not super noticeable. Update, it has stayed brown and I just redid my roots with the red henna. I did not get a headache this time! I premixed my henna and didn't get to it for a day. The longest I have let it stay mixed in a jar is 10 days. (Covered in the fridge) I warm it up in the microwave. No headache when premixed, it worked perfectly. Update: still doing the regimen but always Henna first, wait a week or so, then Indigo. The indigo is darkening my hair each time. So now I'm careful just to put it on my roots so my hair doesn't get black. My hair is supet healthy although this regimen is time consuming and tedious. Read more
So I've been using henna and indigo (2 step process) for years now. I decided to try this product because it was cheap. Well, I know why! Indigo can be very gritty, but other more expensive brands (henna for hair, henna sooq) sift it so it is easier to wash out and with minimal gritty. This...was kinda difficult to wash out of my curly, coarse hair. Also it was not as easy to spread due to the grit. Color was great though. Overall, it's ok and legit, so if you can handle the grittiness, then go for it. Read more
