Hannah Natural 100% Pure Indigo Powder for Hair Dye, 100 Gram

My wife Loves this product. No more of the dangerous and damaging chemical dyes like she used to use. Now my full review: 1st of all, this isn't an Easy or Fast method of dyeing hair. If you need fast and easy, use the harsh chemical dyes. But if you want a product that is safe, easy on your hair, and looks great and natural, read on. This is what we do once a month: 1. Wash you hair with a shampoo that will Clean your hair completely. (You don't want a product that has ANY type of oil or conditioner in it). We actually use Dawn Dish-washing Liquid which cleans ALL of the oily products from your hair. Then she towel dries and blow dries. 2. We then apply the " Hannah Natural 100% Pure Henna Powder, 100 Gram by Hannah Natural" as per instructions to all of her hair. (We mix the henna the night before and add a little salt, lemon juice, and cinnamon powder. About a teaspoon each). 3. This is covered and let on her hair for about 2 hours. Then she showers, with JUST WATER to wash all of the residue out. Then she towel dries her hair and blow-dries. At this point, all of the new grown in gray looks red. (A red-head could probably stop here:) 4. While she is blow-drying her hair, I mix the Hannah Natural 100% Pure Indigo Powder for Hair Dye with a teaspoon of salt. This is applied to ALL of the red areas (usually the new grown in hair) to completely cover. With the remaining black dye, we usually streak the last months dyed black hair, in Some Sections, from the last months application. (Gives the hair a more natural look) 5. Then her hair is covered and remains on for two more hours. 6. After the two hours, she Water Rinses, towel dries, and blow-dries her hair. After only the Water Rinse and NO hair product involved, her hair looks Fantastic! It looks natural, silky, and not dried out and box dyed. 7. Days later, if her hair starts to feel 'dirty' to her, she shampoos with her normal shampoo product and conditioner. Her hair looks absolutely fantastic and has a natural brunette look as opposed to the Boxed Dyes. SIDE NOTE: When we first tried this indigo product, her hair had a bluish tint. It was then that we discovered that applying the natural henna first had such a dramatic effect and made her hair look So Natural that she gets comments like: "You are SO Lucky that you aren't turning grey yet...." Now You Have To Realize that dying her hair in this way takes a lot of time on her part (usually about 5 hours every Sunday). For me, however, it only takes about 15 minutes total. When it's time to apply the natural hannah or indigo hannah she just calls me. I could be changing the oil in one of our cars, doing lawn work, etc. etc. but I just come in for about 8 minutes and apply the product for her. (I like to use a 2 inch cheap Flat Chip Paint Brush from Lowes or Home Depot that only cost a buck or two. I found that these cheap brushes work Much Better than my expensive paint brushes.) AND the little 2 buck brush washes out with water and last for over 'A Year Or More'! A testament to how safe these natural dyes are.

With sensitive skin, I've been using natural products for years. Amazon makes finding these natural products easy and convenient. After trying different techniques (and making lots of mistakes), I found to get the best results: 1st, you have to start out with CLEAN hair (no conditioner). Conditioning your hair coats the pores in your hair, making it hard for the dye to deposit (stick) to your hair. Makes sense now, right? I made the mistake of conditioning my hair, or use it on hair that have been washed the day before and felt I slathered mud-like stuff on my head for several hours for no reason, since nothing happened. 2nd, this product will darken your natural color and it does a wonderful job of conditioning and thickening your hair. HOWEVER, if you have grey/white hair, you will not get the black color shown on the model. You need something for the dye to stick to. Grey/white hair = no pigment, so you will only get a faded blue/black effect (imagine using Kool-aid on light hair). If you want grey/white hair coverage, you need to mix this with henna. The amount of henna you mix will determine the desired color (50 henna / 50 indigo gives you a medium/dark brown); more henna = more reddish color). 3rd, once mixed, you need to apply this to your hair soon, the efficacy of indigo deteriorates quickly with time. Again, I once let mine sit for a few hours and the result = nothing happened ;/ 4th, I found making a paste with hot water works better to release the dye, BUT be careful to let it cool down enough so you're not going to give yourself a 3rd degree burn :) 5th, once rinsed off (I tried not to use shampoo, since it will strip off some of the dye you just painstakingly spent time to deposit onto your hair), the dye needs to oxidize over a day or so (meaning it darkens). I try not to wash my hair until then. With repeated use, more pigments are deposited, so grey/white hair becomes darker. For me, the color is permanent (doesn't fade with time). Hope this helps!

This was my first experience using indigo. I've used Lush's Caca Noir blocks in the past, which contain pre-mixed henna and indigo, but wanted to try my own mix. I didn't want to get jet black hair and was aiming for a dark brown colour instead, so mixed 100g indigo with 100g henna from the same brand and left it on for 3 hours. I had been told that indigo is rather messy to apply but had no problems at all with this one. Stayed on my hair without flaking and washed off easily and without staining the shower. As for the colour, it matched my natural dark brown with some subtle red highlights due to the henna. I only needed to rinse it with warm water and the results were silky, shiny, and stronger hair. Overall, great product at a great price so will be buying again.

I am using this indigo powder in my hannah recipe. My hair looks very healthy and beautiful. I want to share my recipe. I just started using hannah. I went through a lot of videos and sites. Everybody does it differently (washing or not washing hair before,;adding some other products, oils, etc. to the paste; waiting for 24 hours before applying; and so on). Eventually, I digested all this info and created my own recipe. Hopefully it would help others. Before I switched to hannah, I was using Clairol no ammonia brand, my last shade was 28 nutmeg dark brown. So my hair was dark, and I needed it to stay dark, but I am grey at least 50%. So I did my first coloring in two stages, as other people suggested: - I washed my hair, dried it with a towel, and applied my paste, which I made right before using it: 1 tbs of Amla (supposedly nourishes hair and cools down reddish color of hannah) and 3 tbs of hannah and warm water to make ketchup-like paste . My hair is short, so this amount was perfect, and also it was not messy at all. Put a shower cup, wool cup on top, for 5 hours. Then washed it out with a little bit of conditioner. The result was amazing, even though the roots were orange a little, after I dried my hair, I could not see it, and grey was covered. - two days later, I made another paste: 1 tbs of hannah and 1 tbs of indigo, just to make roots darker; for about 1 hour; I would suggest to have it for a little longer; at first I did not see the difference, but the next day, roots were a little darker. These pictures from today, a few days after this second coloring. - now I am planning to do that maybe once a month, and next time I will mix 1 tbs of amla, 1 tbs of hannah, 2 tbs of indigo; and will see how that would look with a little more indigo. I did not buy ready-mix hannah, I bought all separately: amla, hannah and indigo, so I can play, mix it and modify as I need.

My hair is dark brown, so I mixed this with the 100% henna of the same brand, 10mins before applying. I was planning to leave it on overnight so I wrapped it. 4 hours later I couldn't deal with trying to sleep and being careful so I washed it off lol I was nervous (previously chemically coloring hair, I read my hair could sizzle off 😱) but it didn't lol It's a wonderful color (with the henna) but to cover Greta I probably should have left it on overnight. Will buy again
