All about Indigo hair dye and how to use it at home with Henna to colour your hair
by Indus -valley INDUS VALLEY COSMECEUTICALSCovering grey hair has become a need of the hour as
no one likes to look old. While there are many options available in the market
to cover grey hair, Henna and natural Indigo leaf powder are
the two most popular and reliable options to colour your hair naturally. But the
only concern that remains is—how to do it all at home? Natural hair colours like
Henna powder and Indigo hair dye are
the safest options to experiment with at home as they do not have any side
effects. However, for those sensitive to vegetables and pollen a 48-hour patch
test is recommended.
Natural Indigo leaf powder –
the safest way to colour your hair
Natural Indigo
leaf powder is the powdered form of the leaves of Indigofera plant. Indigo
hair dye colours the hair in
a "blue gold" hue, while also nourishing
it from root to tip. As a result, hair becomes smooth, silky and shiny.
In recent times, Indigo hair dye has been chemically modified by various brands for imparting instant
colouration. Though these generic Indigo dyes are easy to use, the harmful
chemicals like ammonia present in them can cause severe damage to your hair.
Therefore, it is always advisable to opt for natural Indigo leaf powder that
is free from such chemicals.
For instance, you can choose Indus Valley Bio-Organic Indigo Hair Powder for covering grey hair. Unlike other generic dyes, it is made of
freshly picked purely organic Indigo leaves which are then soaked in water,
dried in sunlight and refined into a smooth powder. The powder is microfine and
triple-sifted, which makes it extremely easy to work with as it does not form
any lumps in the packaging, and can be very easily made into a smooth paste for
hair colouration. The product is also certified by ECOCERT and USDA.
