The Ultimate Guide to Indigo Hair Color | Learn How to Properly Mix Indigo from a Natural Hair Color
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- Indigo is a natural Ayurvedic plant-based dye(vegan that is used with henna to color hair reddish-brown, brown, dark brown, and up to black tones, and it covers greys! In this video, henna and indigo hair coloring expert Khadija is showing you how to properly mix your indigo for optimal results.
REMEMBER:
1. Indigo can only be mixed with warm to hot distilled water and some aloe vera powder for moisture (only a small amount is needed).
2. Salt is optional as some claim it helps the indigo stick better to their hair strands.
3. Indigo only needs 20-30 minutes for dye release and it's ready to use.
4. Do NOT use Indigo alone! It MUST be used with henna either as a 1-step process by mixing it with henna, or as a 2-step process after applying a henna treatment.

Can I mix blue black Henna with Indigo Henna to get a strong blue black colour?
I absolutely love coloring my hair with henna. I love how henna stains my greys. I do not do the indigo step anymore because I love my red/copper/orange edges 💁🏾♀️
I’m like you!! It actually soften the appearance of my whole hair. I have natural black hair and now my firsts grey and whites are growing. I tried indigo and only got orange on those but it actually looks neat!! 🌈🙌🏼
I love the red raj henna mixed with the indigo for get a nice dark brown color in my hair (my hair is already dark, but it spices it up) It creates a nice warm tone to the color. So far, I haven't experienced any allergy issues with the indigo either.
Great video sis!! 👏 ❤️
thank you so much for these videos. so helpful.
Thank you for the deep conditioning/ heavy oil tip, I did not know that!!
I was doing that and when I washed my hair a lot of my henna color came out! Now I know better.
I really like your videos, but I have a question, what about katam? Does it work the same as indigo? Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing this beautiful content and natural hair colours,
Chemical free and can protect our body from the hormonal imbalances too .
Do more videos and we’ll done to you ❤
Thank you so much. Your positive comments really push us to create more contents.
Great info! Hope it wud work! Should we take plain henna without mixed herbs or henna with all other herbs mixed in it will work? For 2 step process
I am glad for this video.
I have been dying my hair with box dye for years but I want to transition to natural dyes because my hair is quite long now and I struggle with chronic pain so it's just become a hassle. I have black hair currently but my natural hair is brown. I want to keep my hair black but I've heard that people with alot of box dye shouldnt use it or they might get weird results? What would you suggest? I want to keep growing my hair and keep it healthy! Thank you!
Can I use just indigo to modify the coppery color I got from not mixing henna and indigo perfectly? I was aiming for a soft brown, but the parts of my hair that were almost translucent turned copper.
Hi, Khadidja! Great video! I would like to know, how long should I wait to deep condition my hair using Ayurvedic powders or glosses after dying it with indigo?
Love your henna inputs thank you . What is the gorgeous blue eyeliner you have on ?
I luv indigo for keeping my black hair black. But I have white hair that I would like to keep white. Can I miss neutral henna with indigo instead of henna, to maintain the salt and pepper look?
Your Indigo is the best on the market. I have lots of grays and after using Twenty Century woman's henna mix, perfection. Every gray jet black, covered to the tea, not one in sight. I used deep conditioner after, I ran out of your orange cowash.
Do you mean you used 22nd century woman's henna mix...the lady here on youtube with her own product line?.
I need jet black , how did you achieve it?
@@zaviajae5931 me too iam trying to figure out this now
Thank you for sharing 😘😘😘
Mine never seems to last 4-6 weeks. I often have to do something every 2-3 weeks. I know my hair doesn't grow *that* fast ... I often feel like I'm doing something wrong. Grrrr ... ETA: I use Suave conditioner to wash/rinse my hair after a treatment. Is that gentle enough, or does it strip color?
Hello,
Can I re apply the indigo if it didn’t take ?
I applied the indigo this morning , left it on for about 2 hours. I still have orange around my hair line.
just bought your indigo so I can dye my grandmas hair brown/black can’t wait to try itttt!
Love your videos about henna and I will love to try it and I have a lot of gray would indigo work for me? Please let me know thank you
I always blend mine, but I had to do it twice this time and I’m still orange 😬 Going to try just a coat of indigo over it now.
If you let the indigo sit longer before applying it over the henna dyed hair will it make the black a more blue black? Wanting a more blue black color...
P.S. I love your Southwest style here. Very fun!
👋 Can we use 100% natural aloe vera GEL instead of the POWDER ? ✨️
Have a question not sure if this has been asked if I use the indigo and Alo vera powder will I still need henna if my natural hair color is already off black dark brown color or you still need Henna then indigo with aloe Vera powder
I love dying with indigo especially Henna Sooq's Indigo for Hair.. Beautiful jet black hair everytime. So much better than using a semi permanent!
Totally agree, I was in shock last weekend. Beautiful jet black hair.

Pls reply soon so that I can order

@@taneishajohnson3790 Can you please guide i got dark brown hair after 2 step process
I have a few hreys in front of my head that stain red after henna. But the greys come back after a couple of weeks. My hair is in crochet braids for 1 month. Do please can you let me know how to keep the red. Thanks.
Which hair moisturizer you mentioned after rinsing your hair
So i already have my hair dyed black would i have to use henna than indigo separately? I am assuming id have to henna any regrowth first.
HELLO! Great video. Is it OK to immediately apply indigo after rinsing red raj out?
Best to apply Indigo after 24 hours of Heena washing.
Dont wash with shampoo after heena & indigo
I absolutely love all the products that I have ordered from Henna Sooq💝 it ok to apply a rinse out conditioner after you rinse out the henna/indigo dye application or do you recommend doing only a co-wash? TIA
Do I apply indigo powder on wet or dry hair?
I've ordered a colourless henna - it's meant to be used as a conditioner. I've also ordered indigo. I have blonde hair. I cover my hair so no one will see it anyway, but would this give a blue green colour? It's my colours so I'm hoping it does :)
I buy my indigo through henna sooq and it is never blue. It stays green
you are the best
Can we use indigo powder to our hands too?
thank you so much for your Video🥰 actually I have Chestnutbrown hair and I just want to have a mini dizzle of red light on my light brwon tone. What would you recommend ? Henna or Indigo? Well I dont want habe red hair, just a red shining. So I think it would be better to leave it just a short time…but how long? 45 Minutes? 1 hour. What is your opinion please❤️
Hello. You can use henna alone. For that the recommended time is 3-4 hours but with heat you can shorten it for 1-2 hours. Thank you!
Thanks for the video! I would like to know which essential oils you think covers better the indigo scent. Thanks!
Rosemary and Peppermint would be great additions however some people prefer sandalwood and lavender but it depends on your preference - some are better for certain hair types than others
@@igitha..._ Thanks!!
@@M4rt4Ms You're welcome! I hope it helps - best of luck and many blessings!

Hi. How can I order henna and indigo from you?
👋CAN ANYBODY CAN GIVE ME ADVICE? 👇
can you use aloe vera gel in the indigo mix????
If you dont have Vera powder??
Is it halal to dye hair with the two step process since it covers the grey hairs black?
Can I use henna and Indigo to go black if my natural hair is light blonde?
Hi there😍
Do you still advice to use 50% henna and 50% indigo for the 1st step and 100% indigo for the second step if you want blue black hair?
Thanks for all your advice!
Hello! You may watch this video for your reference: ua-cam.com/video/Nxh-Zn8PPPU/v-deo.htmlsi=3czr_bK2gdOOcMrF. Thank you!
Question: I recently ordered your Indigo. This will be my first time using Indigo ever. If I want to achieve black tones which of your henna powders should I use?
Red raj
Hi, so my hair is naturally REALLY dark brown, almost black, I want that blue-deep black colour. I used Indigo once but my hair got green and the dye didnt lasted long on my hair, maybe one day, I didnt even washed it or anything. Do I need to do the henna-indigo 2 step process or do I not, because as I said, my hair is really dark already. Do you have any advices for me? I think my hair got green the first time because it was not warm enough.
I hope you can answer my question.
Hello. You need to reapply Indigo. Indigo does not always work the first time and repeated application(s) may be necessary.
Very helpful thanks! Trying to achieve light/medium brown hair, so did 2:1 henna and indigo. Have roots of 50/50 greys, and the greys are now orange. You mentioned to use indigo, but will this not turn it black? Not sure next steps as the rest of my hair is fine, a bit orange but not bright orange. Do I do henna and indigo 1:1? Colored it this morning, can I do the roots tomorrow again?
Also how can I use amla? Add to henna mix or indigo mix when I do the color?
Thank you🙏
Did u hear back. I used henna alone n left with orange roots. Trying He a n indigo today with aloe.
I have extremely stubborn greys. I have to do 2 step process with henna by itself. And then my desired mix of indigo and henna for medium brown. Clarify hair first and make sure hair is damp when applying.
Can you use henna that says its jet black as the henna base and then follow up with indigo to cover gray hair.
Hello. Yes, you may do so.
Would adding a teaspoon of glycerin into the henna\indigo\aloe mixture reduce the risk of dryness?
It might make the henna not stick properly to the hairs.. i recommend u add it after
I am a new subscriber now. love love ❤ the information you give.
Can I add the naturally prepared aloe vera gel to the henna?
if there is no alcohol or preserves
I used henna on my partner's hair and it had given a nice orange color and there was full coverage..next day I applied indigo but the hair hasn't become black..indigo was left on the hair for 2hours..all these days he was using hair color and i wanted him to shift to natural indigo..could you please let me know what could be the reason for the hair not becoming black..plzzzz
Khadija - I've been using Henna Sooq products for about 5 years now. Why does my indigo wash out when I rinse my hair with cold water 2-3 days after application? I need to wet my hair in order to style it and I always end up with blue indigo washing down the drain and henna only left on my grays.
In the video, she said to wait 5 to 7 days for the dye to settle. I would suggest lightly using a cream leave in conditioner until then.
I love my Red Raj henna color, the more I use it the deeper it gets but my edges are turning really white now. I would like to darken my edges as opposed to the rest of my hair. I wouldn't need a full 100 grams of indigo, but enough for the front 1 inch of my hair. I would like to make that a darker brown so that my edges don't blend into my skin-tone. I need to figure this out!
Me too!
Can warm tea decoction with clove be used to soak indigo. Does it help in releasing the dye better
Hello. It may inhibit the indigo from working. Indigo is very fussy and mixed with water only.
Can I mix the indigo with coffee or black tea? I’m so nervous cuz I have locs idk how well this is gonna work.
I feel like black tea made it a bit darker but I think it doesn't make a huge difference
How do i use indigo for Alopecia Aretera?

I saw your video. I was wondering with the hues I've seen comments that you can get a purple out of the indigo powder. How would you recommend mixing for that?
Hello. The closest to a kind of aubergine purple type tone would be our Organic Rajasthani indian henna but it’s more auburn then purple. Purple a true purple is usually created with chemical dyes.

I currently dye my hair green or blue with synthetic dyes, but I would love to use a natural product. How can I use Indigo to dye my hair green?
Indigo does different things to different types and color of hair.
I suggest collecting your loose hair from you brush/comb (and maybe even your shower drain). Then experiment with that hair and the indigo.
On my dark brown hair, it takes all the reddish highlights out and darkens/dulls it On my grey (almost white) hair, it starts off blue/green for about 24-48 hours, then turns purple.
I've read that with some people it stays green.
The indigo mixer I prepared doesn't turn into metal green or purplish black before application. I allowed it to rest for 40 mins. Can you help me here?
Hello! it won’t make it purple only greenish if you use Indigo alone. The dye release for Indigo alone is 15-20 mins. 40 mins is too long
Can I use gel on my hair right after my henna, indigo treatment?
gel usually has alcohol
So first mix henna let sit 2-4 hours.. then separately mix indigo about 20 min before readyto use.. then mix the two together?? You didn't actually say about mixing the two ..I'm guessing it just has to be well mixed. I used to add cinnamon for added fragrance and ruby color. Have you ever tried that?
Indigo washed out too quickly from my hair. It doesn’t last for four weeks
@HennaSooq Can i mix blue black Henna with Indigo Henna to get a strong blue black colour?
Hello. You should mix them separately.
QUESTION: ❓I am new to hair coloring with natural henna and indigo. I want to color my hair so that it is light ash brown or medium ash brown. How do I do this with henna and Indigo?

can i make indigo tea and spray it on my hair ? will it work that way?
Hello. No sorry that won’t work to color the hair. When you make the henna and indigo in a two step for black tones it’ll rinse out very easily . Just make your paste a bit thinner.
My hair is already black but I want to darken it, should I use neutral henna + indigo, or indigo alone?
This is what I’m wondering too.
Hello. We recommend a two-step process with henna and indigo. If you use indigo alone, it'll leave a green tint.
What do you mean by distilled water? How do I get it and is the filtered water distilled?
You can buy it in your local store near you who sells it. Filtered water is okay as long as it's warm to hot not boiling.
What happens if I add indigo for an hour to deep red henna which has been sitting for 8 hours … will this be an even darker red?
Hello. This is too long. It may not be effective and this won't make the color darker. Please refer to our guide to help you in the process of coloring your hair: hennasooq.com/blogs/frontpage/complete-guide-how-to-color-your-hair-with-henna-and-indigo/. Thank you!
I keep reading from other sources you should apply indigo immediately after mixing because it has such a short time for dye release. Is this true?
Hello! Yes, the dye release is for 15-20 mins only and you should apply it immediately.
Hello, when I use Indigo it gives me very bad headache, if I want brown color to cover my grey hair, is there any other option to mix with henna?
Sam here .. i get severe headache. R u still using it ? Have ur hair turned in the right colour?
Can you colour your hair with a red henna over black henna hair for a burgundy look ♥️🙏
It won't really turn burgundy because black is so dark, but the more you apply henna, the more red it will get, and it will look beautiful in the sunlight 😊
Hello, I've henna and used indigo together, however my tone is brassy red. How may I achieve dark brown? Many Thanks

Shall I use heena and indigo together in one mixture please tell
You want to mix them in separate bowls, mixing them together can make it not work.
I want purple hair can I get using indigo powder?
Hello. No, it won’t make it purple only greenish.
Can i use just the indigo powder if i wanna dye my hair blue?
Hello. Your hair will turn green if you only use Indigo.
Is indigo and hair colour same propert? Looks same
Does your hair have to be dry before applying the henna ?
Hello. Putting henna onto damp hair really helps it go on much easier.
My only problem is the jet black color I get from 2 step process does not resist the hair wash I keep it for a week before shampoo and then it fades out to red tone...... I have been switching to different shampoos so that I can get mild herbal shampoo that suits my indigo hair..... But still I haven't found it yet. Could you please suggest.
Aisha, if I may make a suggestion - you should list your steps so she can troubleshoot; for instance - are you applying the color to dry hair that hasn’t been washed in a few days, freshly washed hair that was dry before dyeing; hair that you washed a day before or freshly washed wet hair? Did you apply any oil to your hair or hairline? How much henna did you use, and how long did you let it develop? Did you use cold, warm, hot or boiling water to mix henna or indigo? How much indigo did you use and how long did you let it develop? How long did you leave henna on your hair? How long you leave indigo on your hair? Did you cover your hair tightly? How long after rinsing the henna out of your hair, did you apply the indigo?
@@kimariokiji Okay, so Day 1 - I shampoo my hair and soak henna for overnight, Day 2 - I apply 1:1 henna (soaked overnight) + indigo (mix with hot water and let it sit for 15-20 mins and then combine with henna, soaked), I wear shower cap, keep the pack for 3-4 hours and rinse with normal water no shampoo, Day 3 - I apply indigo ( mix with hot water and let it sit for 15-20 mins and apply all over my hair), cover it with shower cap, keep it for again 3-4 hours and rinse with normal water no shampoo..... I do not do anything else with my hair for next 5 days after that I do oiling and shampoo my hair next day and then here comes the maroon red tone on my hair.
Thanks in advance!
@@aishamalik6974 I don't think you received an answer but I just watched this video today and discovered that I should only co-wash after henna and no deep conditioning or heavy oils for about 1 week so that the color can set. I just learned by watching this video that I was making my color bleed by using heavy oils after henna! Perhaps rewatch this and follow her steps carefully, you might get better results. That's what I plan on doing.
