Henna and indigo powder are used to give black or blackish-brown colour to white hair, but sometimes it also happens that its natural color does not get applied to the hair. Either the hair remains white or the orange color of the henna starts shining. There is not one but many reasons behind this.
Let us tell you the right way to apply henna-indigo today, which can give permanent black color to your white hair. The henna-Indigo paste is a natural i.e. herbal hair color which does not contain any kind of chemical. It is completely natural and lasts longer than color. So let's go through the complete method from applying to making this natural dye.
Learn how to prepare henna-indigo paste
Keep the henna soaked in tea and coffee water for at least 8 hours. And soak indigo powder when you are completely ready to apply it to your hair. Always soak the indigo powder in lukewarm water with a pinch of salt for only 15 minutes and apply it to the hair, indigo does not get discoloured if left for a long time.
Right way to kill
You can apply henna and indigo by mixing them together, but if your hair is white then use a two-way method to apply it. That is, first you apply henna to the hair and wash it. When the hair turns white hair well, then apply indigo powder separately. With this, you will get the firm and deep desired color. When blue color is applied to red color, it looks naturally black.
Do not apply shampoo to hair for 72 hours
Wash off henna and indigo in your hair with plain water and do not apply shampoo for at least 72 hours. Even after washing henna and indigo from the hair, the work of color oxidation continues, that is, the color keeps getting darker and washing with shampoo stops this process.
So if you keep these things in mind then you will easily be able to make your hair black.
