Just Jaivik Organic Indigo Powder 227 g – 100% Indigofera tinctoria, Chemical-Free Hair Dye for Dark Brown to Black Shades

Just Jaivik 100% Organic Indigo Powder is a natural plant-based dye that helps you safely tint hair from dark brown to black when used alone or after henna.

Made from Indigofera tinctoria leaves, this finely milled indigo powder offers a chemical-free option for coloring hair. The powder is free from parabens, preservatives, PPD, ammonia, peroxides and synthetic dyes, and it arrives sealed in an aluminium foil pack to keep it fresh until use. Suitable for external application only, this indigo is designed to combine with or follow henna treatments to produce deeper, long-lasting dark tones without harsh ingredients.

How do I get dark brown to black hair with this indigo powder?

For best results, many users apply indigo after a henna base. Henna first deposits red-orange pigments; indigo overlays that color to create rich brown to black shades. If using indigo alone, the resulting tone depends on your starting hair color and the strength of the indigo paste.

• For black shades: apply henna, rinse, then apply indigo paste within 24–48 hours.
• Mix ratio: commonly 1 part indigo to 2–3 parts warm water for a smooth paste.
• Processing time: 30–90 minutes depending on desired depth and hair porosity.
• Patch test: always test a small strand first to preview the final shade.

What is the proper way to prepare and apply the indigo paste?

Preparing indigo requires only water and time to release its dye. Use a non-metal bowl and spoon to mix a lump-free paste, apply to clean, towel-dried hair, and cover to keep moisture and warmth in while it develops.

• Use warm water to mix to a yogurt-like consistency; avoid metal utensils.
• Apply to dry or henna-treated hair with a brush or gloved hands for even coverage.
• Cover with plastic or a shower cap and leave for the recommended time.
• Rinse gently until water runs clear; avoid shampooing immediately to allow color to set.

How should I store and maintain the indigo powder?

Indigo powder is light- and moisture-sensitive, so storage affects shelf life and dye potency. Keep the sealed aluminium foil packaging in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight and airtight once opened.

• Reseal the aluminium pouch after each use or transfer to an airtight jar.
• Store below room temperature when possible and avoid humid bathrooms.
• Use within the recommended timeframe on the pack for optimal strength.
• Discard if you notice unusual odor, discoloration, or clumping from moisture.

Who is this product for? Just Jaivik Organic Indigo Powder is for people who prefer plant-based, chemical-free hair color options—especially those combining henna and indigo to move from warm red tones to cool dark browns and blacks. It also suits DIY colorists, natural beauty advocates, and formulators creating custom dye blends. Note: this product is intended for external use only; follow patch-test and application guidance for safe, predictable results.
