which indigo powder is good for hair - #25462
I am really struggling with my hair lately. I used to have such vibrant color, but after several dye jobs, my hair feels super damaged and frizzy. I recently heard that using indigo powder could help, but honestly, I have no idea which indigo powder is good for hair. Like, there's so many options online and in stores. Some say to mix it with henna, but others are saying just plain indigo is the best. Last week, I tried a brand that was supposed to be pure but it left my hair feeling like straw, which was not great. I also read about mixing it with coconut oil or something to make it better, but then my friend said I should avoid that?? If I want to achieve a nice dark shade, which indigo powder is good for hair without turning my strands into a hot mess? Also, how long should I leave it in for the best results? Urgh! I really hope someone can help me figure this out before I ruin my hair even more!!

Choosing the right indigo powder for hair can indeed be a bit overwhelming, but let’s break it down in terms of Ayurveda and practical steps. Given your concern with hair damage and the need for a rich dark shade, it’s crucial to select a high-quality, natural indigo powder. Ideally, look for one that is 100% pure without any added chemicals or synthetic dyes. Brands that are organic certified often provide assurance of purity, but always read the ingredients to ensure nothing’s added.
Mixing indigo with henna is generally recommended for long-lasting color results. Henna, used first, can help condition your hair, providing a red undertone that the indigo reinforces with deeper tones. Particularly, for hair that is already damaged, starting with henna ensures your hair gets a hydrating and nourishing treatment, setting a better base for indigo application.
Regarding application, start by applying henna first. Once that is washed out (and hair is dry), move on to the indigo. Avoid mixing oils like coconut oil into the indigo paste, as oils can create a barrier and affect the color’s ability to bind to your hair. Instead, follow these steps: mix the indigo powder with lukewarm water until you get a yogurt-like consistency. Some suggest letting it rest for 15–30 minutes, though this isn’t always necessary.
As for how long you should leave the indigo in, it’s generally recommended to keep the paste on your hair for about 1-2 hours to achieve a deep dark shade. The exact time can vary based on your hair type and the shade level you’re aiming for, but remember that longer isn’t always better, especially considering your previous experience of hair feeling like straw.
Post application, rinse the indigo thoroughly with water, avoiding any shampoo for 48 hours to allow the color to fully oxidize and set. You might want to use a mild herbal conditioning treatment afterward to maintain moisture balance in your hair. If you do experience any continued dryness, it might be a signal to reduce the duration of the application, or perhaps to check the product’s purity once more.
