How to use

Caution: If this is your first time using Indigo or hair herb, complete step 1 to create a small amount of mixture and perform a skin patch test on the neck near the scalp. If you feel any irritation, discontinue use. Use Indigo mixture with caution as it can stain skin and clothes.

1

Create Indigo Mix

In a metal, ceramic, or glass bowl, slowly mix Indigo powder and warm water until it has a yogurt like consistency. The amount of Indigo powder and water used depends on length and texture of hair. Add a sprinkle of salt to encourage dye release and stir mixture again. If mixing into Henna paste, do so right before applying Henna to hair.

2

Apply to Hair

Put on disposable gloves and using a hair color brush or tint brush, section hair and apply paste from roots to ends. Cover hair with a plastic cap to preserve moisture and leave on for 10 minutes to 4 hours (base the sitting time on the intensity of color desired). To avoid stains clean skin around hair line and from hands immediately.

3

Rinse

Rinse hair under room temperature water until water runs clear. Style as usual and re-dye as needed.
