Elecious Naturals Indigo Leaf Powder
Indigo Powder or Indigo leaf powder is an excellent Natural Hair dye for coloring the hair black and shades of brown naturally. It is prepared from Dried Indigo leaves also known as “Neel Patti” in Hindi.
Uses of Indigo Powder for Hair:
Indigo powder not only helps in dying Hair naturally which makes you avoid using harsh chemical dyes and serious damage to hair but is also beneficial for hair in many ways.
- Helps in preventing premature greying of hair.
- It may be beneficial in hair growth.
- Helpful in preventing Dandruff and scalp infection.
- It smoothens the tangles, makes your hair thicker, more manageable, and lustrous.
How to use Indigo Powder for Hair:
Indigo Powder is always used along with Henna powder. There are two ways of applying Indigo according to the hair color required. The two steps are as follows:
1. Two-Step Henna- Indigo process for Black Hair
Henna and Indigo two-step process is used to attain black hair. The steps are as follows:
Step 1: Heena Treating the Hair
- Firstly, Prepare a henna paste by mixing the required amount of Elecious Henna Powder (100 grams for Short Hair, 150 grams for Shoulder-length hair, and 200 grams for Longer hair) with lukewarm water in a mixing bowl.
- You can use Tea or Coffee water instead of plain water while preparing Henna paste for a more intense Henna color.
- Leave this paste to sit or a night if possible, if not minimum for 1 hour for best result. Soaking Henna imparts good color when is well soaked with water.
- Apply the paste on your hair and leave it for 40-60 minutes.
- Wash your hair with normal water and towel dry them.
Step 2: Dying Hair black with Indigo Powder
- Mix the required quantity of Indigo powder (100 grams for Short Hair, 150 grams for Shoulder-length hair, and 200 grams for Longer hair) with normal water to make a semi-thick paste in a mixing bowl.
- Then, Add a pinch of salt to it for a more intense color (optional).
- Cover the bowl with help of a Lid/cap/plastic cover, such that the bowl becomes air-tight. Indigo paste starts oxidizing as soon as it comes in air contact and releases dye which we do not want while allowing Indigo to soak.
- After 10-15 minutes apply the Indigo paste to your hair and leave it for 60-90 minutes.
- Rinse your hair with normal tap water and towel dry them
This process is called two-step as Henna and Indigo are applied separately. This is process is more time-consuming and cumbersome than a one-step process but it’s totally worth the results you get.
2. Single Step process for BROWN Hair
- Mix an equal amount of Henna and Indigo Powder (Total of 100 grams for Short Hair, 150 grams for Shoulder-length hair, and 200 grams for Longer hair) and prepare a semi-thick paste in lukewarm water or Coffee water.
- Cover the mixing bowl to cut the air contact.
- Allow this paste to rest for 30 minutes.
- Apply the paste on your hair cover it with a shower cap or polythene and leave it for 60-90 minutes.
- Wash your hair with normal water and towel dry them.
Different shades of Brown Hair using Indigo and Henna powder
You can attain different tones of Brown shade by varying the ratio of Indigo and Henna used in a one-step process. The more Indigo powder you use the darker the brown shade will get. If you want more reddish-brown, you can increase the quantity of Henna in the mixture.

If you are someone like me, always going for the chemical free choices, you should definitely try this. I usually use it along with henna and apply the paste, and it works wonders. Gives a very natural color, love it. Definitely recommended.

Megha –
The product is very good. When applied after using henna, its soft black color comes out very well. Many people in fact, dont know how to use it. The best way to get the true light and soft black shade is, first apply henna. When your hair gets brownish henna color, use Indigo and keep for up to 90 minutes. (Mix Indigo with water and use the thick solution immediately). Wash gently. Don’t shampoo. Don’t clean hair vigorously with towel after bath because it is not a permanent synthetic dye which contains cancer causing PPD. This Indigo color will last only up to two weeks maximum. Do it again. Health is very important than looks. Never use hair dyes, use henna and Indigo. Being a doctor that’s my sincere advice to you all. Thanks.
