Cosmetic Uses

All commercial black hair dyes have para-phenylenediamine and may people become sensitive (allergic) to this chemical. It can have devastating effects on a person's health. Mix indigo with water and stir it up. The indigo paste should be as thick as stirred up yogurt, though it will be very lumpy like porridge. It will be a green mush that smells like frozen peas. In about half an hour the top of this mush will start to turn dark blue. Wear plastic gloves or your hands will have grey-blue stains. When the indigo has started to turn blue, put it into a squeeze bottle to squish it into the hair, or just slather it in by the handful. Work it down to the scalp, and mush it in like you're trying to plaster a wall with guacamole. Try to get indigo evenly into all the hair. It's messy. It's stinky. Remember that women believed the uglier they got with their beauty preparations, the lovelier they'd be when they were done. Wrap the indigo-laden hair with plastic wrap into a great mooshy sloppy peas-smelling turban and let it stay there half an hour. Wipe all the indigo drops off as they dribble down the neck, forehead and back! These will leave gray streaks if you don't wipe them away. Rinse this all out of your hair. It takes about a day for the indigo to oxidize completely, and then your hair will be amazing black, natural plant color which is a deep blue to purple. A safe natural color.

Indigo is among the oldest dyes to be used for textile dyeing and printing. Many Asian countries, such as India, China, and Japan, have used indigo as a dye for centuries. The dye was also known to ancient civilizations in Egypt, Greece, Rome, Britain, Peru, and Africa. India is believed to be the oldest center of indigo dyeing in the Old World. It was a primary supplier of indigo to Europe as early as the Greco-Roman era.

The Indigo and Henna treatment makes hair thicker. The henna and indigo relaxes curls, and makes hair full, manageable, glossy. The final color is rich, natural black with aubergine highlights, sometimes glinting blue-black. All the split ends vanished with the henna. All the tangles go away. Using henna and indigo for hair coloring can result in black, raven black, blue-black, purplish black or burgundy black hair. The exact color result depends upon your original hair coloring as well as how you use your henna and indigo in this process. Henna and Indigo application can be done in either a two-step or one-step process.
