• makes hair thick, lush, smooth and silky, gives it volume,

• moisturizes the scalp, eliminates dandruff, promotes hair growth.

Cautions:

• the resulting hair color cannot be accurately determined, as when using chemical dyes. It depends on the initial color of the hair, its structure, thickness and time of dyeing.

  Method of use:

  • mix the necessary amount of indigo powder with hot water to a creamy state. Mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps,

  • cool down a little and apply evenly to clean, dry hair and especially carefully to the roots of the hair,

  • put on a plastic cap and wrap your head with a towel,

  • leave the paste on your hair for 2-4 hours, and then rinse your hair thoroughly with running water until pores, until the water flowing from them becomes absolutely clean.

  • after dyeing the hair, you can make a mask: when the hair is dry, prepare a slurry of colorless henna and apply it to the hair for 40 minutes, then wash it off with warm water, the mask helps to strengthen and deepen the color, shine and conditioning of the hair,

  • 3 days after dyeing indigo shows its color and the hair darkens, during this time you should not wash your hair with shampoo, soap or other chemicals.

  Simultaneous dyeing (mixing) henna and indigo

  • a faster method of dyeing is not enough if you do not have enough time for separate hair dyeing. If you dye the gray hair with henna and indigo, the hair will be better and evenly colored. When mixed in different proportions, shades from light blond to black are obtained,

  • dilute henna with boiling water (90 degrees), constantly stirring the mixture until it becomes a thick paste without lumps. Let it infuse for 10-15 minutes in a steam bath. Add hot water to indigo and mix to the consistency of a thin puree. Add the indigo paste to the cup of henna,

  • the indigo must be used immediately. Mix the indigo paste right before using the mixture. Do not add lemon to indigo. You can make different shades of dark color by mixing indigo and henna in different proportions (1/1, 1/3, 2/3). The more indigo, the darker the hair color will be,

  • wash your hair and dry it. Part the hair and apply the mixture very thickly to the very roots of the hair,

  • put on a polyethylene cap, clean the hair growth line and ears from the mixture,

  • leave the mixture on the hair for 2-4 hours, and then wash it off,

  • the color will be established for 3 days. At first, a greenish tint will appear, but it will disappear when the indigo oxidizes,

  • after indigo dyeing, apply colorless henna paste to clean hair. It will soften the hair and deepen the resulting hair color. 

  Separate henna and indigo dyeing

  • wash your head and dry it. Comb your hair thoroughly. Put on gloves and dilute the henna with hot water to a thin paste. Densely cover all the hair with henna up to the scalp. Apply henna until all the hair is covered with the paste,

  • clean the hairline and ears from the stuck paste. Put on a polyethylene cap, and wrap a towel on top. Leave the paste on the hair for 2 hours,

  • after 2 hours, rinse the henna thoroughly with running water without shampoo, and dry the hair,

  • mix the indigo powder with hot water to the consistency of sour cream and immediately start the process of applying the indigo paste (do not wait for it to start giving color),
