INDIGO POWDER FOR HAIR DYE - The Henna Guys® (200g)

Love it

I wear a goatee and it had a lot of grey in it, but my natural hair colour is very dark brown. I was tempted by Just for Men but put off by the horror stories about blistering skin and so forth, so I decided to give this stuff a go. I followed the advice given in another review and mixed one teaspoon of the henna and three teaspoons of the dark brown mix, and used coffee to make it into a sludge which I left on my beard for about 2 hours. The result was quite pleasing; although the grey wasn't gone it was tinted dark brown which looked quite natural. A couple of days later I repeated the process adding a dash of apple cider vinegar (as per the included instructions) which deepened the tint a bit further. If my grey had completely gone I think the result would have looked unnatural, as it is the grey is closer in hue to the rest of my beard but the variation in tone looks very natural, unlike products like Just for Men which give a much more uniform result. Next time I think I'll use a slightly higher proportion of the dark brown in the mix as my natrual colour is very dark, and I think just topping up every 3-4 weeks will be sufficient. My original sludge used 4 teaspoons of the powders and I ony used half of it on the two applications (if that) so I expect the contents of the packet to last for months, if not years. Great value and a great result.

I applied it after bleaching and dying copper level 7. It bring Theodore to deeper shade with hint of red but the red is very minimal. It will probably be stronger after the second application. I really loved this henna, has smooth easy texture and conditioned my hair. Hair look really gorgeous!

Well sorry to write bad review as I hate doing so but I really have to say this is terrible , I was looking forward to using this as read fab reviews. I normally used the henna cream in burgundy but thought I'd try this stuff , well wished I hadn't . First I followed instructions and made it up , it was dark brown n looked like soil but thought ok I'll still use it,left it on about 4 hours n wen I tried to wash it out omg! I spent about one hour if not more trying to get this stuff out my hair n after my hair was so dry ,it's been 5 days since I used it and my hair is still really dry which it wasn't b4 using really disappointed and wasted £10

This product is great and so is the service. I was looking for the herbal alternative to chemical hair dyes/colors as they were ruining my hair. It is then I came to know about indigo powder. Though I am using indigo powder of different brand since six months, I used this brand for the first time and it gave amazing results. I usually use the indigo powder with henna paste. I used to add some lemon juice/apple cider vinegar to henna and soak it overnight or for four hours. In the morning I used to prepare the indigo powder paste as per guidelines and mix it up with henna paste and apply it and left it for 3 hours. But, this made my scalp very itchy and hot as lemon/ACV are very acidic. Since henna needs an acidic agent to release color, I switched to Amla ( Indian gooseberry) powder and the problem of itchy scalp solved. Since I have many grays, henna often turned my hair color into copper-orange which I never liked. I wanted to have dark colored hair and indigo powder fulfilled my wish.But, do not apply it without henna(if you have gray hair) because it will turn your hair green.It covers the hairline perfectly and does not stain the skin. One can view the result in the photograph. My hair texture has improved, they are soft and have volume and hair fall has reduced. I am extremely happy with this product and would recommend it to all who are seeking herbal/natural solution for their hair problems.

So This henna is great. On the first two pictures you can see the immediate result and the third one is what my hair was before, I already had ginger tint to it from normal copper henna. I wanted more cool tone red so I bought this and indigo to cover the gingerness. It did a great job, keep in mind I added 2 tablespoons of indigo mix into it to make it darker and cooler so that may help I guess. I can still see some warm tones in the lengths but it's not so bad. I'd give it 4,5 stars but it didn't let me so the reason I am giving four is that it bleeds like hell! I had to rinse it so many times, it took me like 40 minutes to do it. It is probably the clay in it. Applying vinegar wash after rinse help. I hope it won't bleed much when I wash my hair. Please make sure you wash with cold water!UPDATE : ok so after about a two and a half months of having this henna on my hair I must remove one star as it still bleeds every single time I wash my hair! It is due to the red clay in the mixture which gets you that wine red colour but unfortunately it bleeds until is not there anymore. Not buying again

This is the first time I ever tried henna, I stopped using other dyes a long time ago as they destroy my hair and the chemicals always burned my head not to mention what they do to my lungs!I would recommend this to anyone, it changed my hair to the colour I really wanted and is still exactly the same now. It hardly ever comes out in the water like the chemical versions do everytime you wash your hair. I don't use shampoo's to wash my hair just bs followed by a good condition from acv and tea tree EO.My hair has never dried, in fact it is it's healthiest it has ever been!If you want to have a stunning colour change but without hurting yourself and your body, go for it!The pack comes with the gloves and the hat inside the packet. The only thing I would say if you don't like the 'soil' kinda smell which is the only downside to this (can't complain considering the smell of the chemical versions) add an EO. There is no need to wash after application and I left it on for the full 3 hours. I have long hair thick naturally curly hair and it only took one pack.
