Depending on the proportion of Henna and Indigo used, you can achieve a wide range of colors, from reds to light browns, and even dark browns and blacks. For a more intense black, you can opt for a two-step process, starting with the application of pure Henna followed by the application of pure Indigo. It's important to note that Indigo itself has dark blue tones.

It is essential to understand that natural colors do not have the ability to lighten hair; instead, they dye it based on its pigmentation. The darker the original hair color, the less pronounced the color effect will be.

Customize the perfect shade

Henna and indigo are natural dyes that work together to produce a range of colors, from copper to dark brown and black. The color you get will depend on the proportions of henna and indigo you use. Mixing henna and indigo may sound complicated, but it's actually quite easy.

You can create your own color by adjusting the proportion of henna and indigo used. For coppery brown tones, use equal amounts of henna and indigo. For darker tones, increase the amount of indigo used. The possibilities are endless, so have fun experimenting to create the perfect shade!

• If you want a copper shade, you can mix henna and indigo in equal proportions (1:1). This will result in a warm, reddish tone, perfect for people with lighter hair or who want to add a bit of color to their hair.
• If you're looking for a darker brown shade, you should use more indigo than henna (1:3 or more). This will produce a rich chocolate brown color, perfect for people with medium to dark hair.

It is important to note that the color obtained with henna and indigo is not exactly the same as chemical hair dyes. You may need to experiment to find the right proportions of henna and indigo to get the color you want. However, the results are worth it! As well as getting a beautiful, natural color, your hair will also be healthier and stronger due to the natural properties of henna and indigo.

Attention!

• Indigo color pigments need some time to react to your hair. It takes up to 24 hours to reach the final color.
• If you have used synthetic hair dye in the last 45 days, it is recommended to use pure henna in the first phase to avoid greenish tones in the hair.
• Shampoos, hardeners and silicone sprays are not recommended before using henna and other natural dyes, as they prevent natural pigments from penetrating the hair structure.
• We recommend a minimum interval of 4 weeks between chemical coloring and the application of indigo.
• We suggest applying vaseline to the parts of the skin that may come into contact with the indigo during application. This will ensure that the skin that comes into contact with the indigo does not become stained.
