Versatile uses

Colour guide and expectations

• The natural pigment: The high concentrations of indigotin and indirubin allow it to dye various materials in rich shades of blue, green, or purple.
• The blending rule: Indigo is a blue/green dye and must be used in combination with Love My Hair henna to successfully dye hair in shades of brown to black.
• Fabric and yarn dyeing: If you want to use this indigo powder to dye fabric or yarn, it may need to go through a natural fermentation process first, depending on the specific colour results you are after.
• Natural variance: As a 100% natural product, minor colour variations may occur between batches. This applies to both the appearance of the dry powder and the final dye shade achieved.

This indigo comes with a comprehensive step-by-step instruction leaflet. For the best results, please read the instructions carefully and follow them closely.

The indigo henna colour synergy
Indigo and henna balance each other out when dyeing hair in shades of brown to black:

• Too orange: If your hair ‘takes’ the henna very well and starts becoming too orangey, adding more indigo to your mixture or doing an application of pure indigo will adjust the colour back to brown.
• Too blue, green, or purple: If your hair ‘takes’ the indigo more and starts developing a blue/green/purplish sheen, adding more henna to your mixture or doing an application of pure henna will adjust the colour back to brown.
