Indigo powder is mostly used to get deep black hair or dark brown hair colour. There is a two-step process to get black hair with indigo powder for people with blonde, gray or white hair. For this, you first need to apply pure henna to the hair and wash it. Henna will dye your hair orange-red and then apply the indigo powder in the same way to get a deep black colour.
The colour pigment in the indigo powder works really well with the orange color of the henna that is already present in your hair by darkening it. If you have white or gray hair, you may not get any colour or a light blueish-colour by applying indigo powder without henna.
To get different shades of brown ( depending on the ratios of each powder), apply the mixture of pure henna powder and indigo powder.
Indigo powder is best used in combination with henna or after dying your hair with henna to get coloured hair naturally and also it will leave your hair shiny and lustrous.
