Indigo Powder,Indigofera tinctoria, 8 oz/226 gm, Natural Hair Dye Color Henna Application

While this can be used as a natural hair treatment, I ordered this primarily as a dye for shibori cloth and for dying yarn. I love that it contains a single, natural ingredient - indigofera tinctoria. It doesn't include any additional chemicals or mordants.The first thing I noticed about this is that it was packed well. The outer resealable mylar bag contained an inner clear bag. The combination keeps this powder fresh.As soon as I opened this, the earthy scent of leaves overwhelmed me. It is evident that this indigo was harvested and dried at the peak of freshness. The indigo leaves have been ground to a superfine powder thag mixes easily with water, creating a paste. When oxidized, the pigment changes from a light green to the deep, rich, almost black color which is characteristic of indigo.I generally use indigo in an outdoor reduction vat in the summer so that I can ventilate it. Since it is winter, I only tested small batches, but so far, I've been able to achieve extremely rich pigment. I can't wait to use this to create beautiful, hand-dyed, textiles.

The 8 oz pack provides a generous amount for multiple applications, making it a cost-effective choice.The powder is finely milled, making it easy to mix with henna and apply evenly to the hair. The color result is rich and true to the indigofera tinctoria plant, providing a beautiful deep hue. What's notable is the absence of harmful chemicals, offering a natural alternative for those conscious about hair dye ingredients.The packaging is secure and resealable, ensuring the powder remains fresh for future use. For anyone looking for a reliable and natural indigo powder for henna applications, Iyasa Holistics Indigo Powder is a commendable choice.
