Product Description of Lala's Indigo Powder

Lala’s Indigo Powder is your go-to, earthen hair dye solution that has been used for centuries across South Asia. It’s crafted from dried leaves of the Indigofera tinctoria plant—ground into a superfine powder for easy mixing. No harsh chemicals, just pure botanical goodness that delivers a deep blue-black shade. Whether you’re covering greys or experimenting with that midnight hue, it’s a mild yet effective formula that respects your scalp.

What’s lovely is how it feels on the scalp: cooling, almost meditative. Mix it with a touch of water (or even aloe vera gel!) and you have a smooth paste that spreads easily. There's a slight earthy scent you might notice, reminiscent of rainy soil. And don’t worry if you’re a bit of a perfectionist—the colour deepens the longer you leave it on, so feel free to adjust the timing.

I once tried combining it with henna for a richer mahogany-black base, then followed up with pure indigo. The result? A shine that caught sunlight in the most unexpected way! But it’s not only about looks — the plant compounds help soothe minor scalp irritations, too. Of course, every head is unique, so a patch test is always wise… just sayin’.

Additional information about Lala's Indigo Powder

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For best results, use within 18 months of opening—though I’ve found it stays potent even a bit longer if sealed tightly. Slight settling is normal, just fluff it before scooping. Avoid contamination by using a clean, dry spoon every time. And hey, if you notice a tiny insect (yikes!), just sift it out; they rarely survive in this dry form. Order in small batches to guarantee freshness and consistent colour payoff. Enjoy your natural hair journey!
