INDUS VALLEY Henna & Indigo Hair Color Kit — Organic Henna 100g + Indigo 100g, Black; Microfine, Preservative-Free

INDUS VALLEY Bio Organic Henna & Indigo Powder Combo is a 100% plant-based two-step hair-dye kit—100 g henna and 100 g indigo—designed to color hair naturally without synthetic additives.

This kit pairs finely sifted henna and indigo powders to create rich, lasting shades from deep brown to natural black while adding shine and body. Both powders are certified organic and free from ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, artificial dyes and preservatives. Their microfine texture makes blending and application smoother than coarse leaf powders, and the powders are intended for use in a two-stage process (henna first, then indigo) for reliable dark tones. Below you’ll find answers to common buyer questions about performance, preparation, and results.

How do I prepare and apply the henna and indigo to get a true black result?

To achieve a dark black, apply henna first and allow it to develop fully, then follow with indigo. Mixing ratios and timing matter: henna stains the hair base red-orange, which indigo then covers to produce deep brown or black shades.

• Mix henna with warm water (or lemon tea) to a yogurt-like paste; rest 2–4 hours before use for dye release.
• Apply henna evenly, leave 1–4 hours depending on desired intensity, then rinse without shampooing.
• Prepare indigo immediately before use with warm water to paste consistency; apply to damp, henna-treated hair.
• Leave indigo 30–90 minutes—longer for darker, cooler black—and rinse thoroughly for best color lock-in.

What kind of results and shine can I expect on different hair types?

Color outcome depends on your starting shade and hair porosity. Natural or previously lightened hair may take on deep brown tones first; repeated applications or longer indigo development give cooler black tones. The plant pigments also add sheen and fuller-looking texture.

• Dark brown to black base: expect intense black with a single two-step application.
• Light or gray hair: may need repeat treatments to reach full black—results start as brown then deepen.
• Fine hair benefits from the microfine powder’s even coverage and reduced clumping.
• All types gain a noticeable healthy shine from plant-based colorants.

Are these powders safe and what do they contain or avoid?

INDUS VALLEY powders are organic and formulated without harsh synthetic chemicals commonly used in permanent dyes. They contain pure henna and indigo leaf powder only, and are triple-sifted for a microfine texture to minimize irritation risk and improve application.

• No ammonia, peroxide, PPD, artificial colors, or preservatives included.
• 100% plant-derived: pure Lawsonia (henna) and Indigofera (indigo) leaf powders.
• Triple-sifting removes coarse particles for gentle, even coverage and easier rinsing.
• Perform a patch test 48 hours before full application to check sensitivity.

How long does the color last and how should I care for my colored hair?

Plant-based colors deposit pigment on the hair cuticle and can remain vibrant for weeks to months, depending on washing frequency and hair care. Proper aftercare preserves shade and gloss without using aggressive surfactants.

• Expect gradual fade over 4–8 weeks; deeper blacks often last longer with less noticeable fade.
• Use sulfate-free shampoos, cool water washes, and gentle conditioners to extend color life.
• Avoid chlorine baths and prolonged sun exposure for best longevity.
• Periodic touch-ups (henna/indigo) refresh tone and maintain coverage on regrowth.
