Devatara Indigo Powder is a 100% pure, premium herbal powder ground from naturally harvested Indigofera tinctoria leaves, traditionally used to impart rich, dark hues to hair when paired with Henna. It acts as a safe, natural alternative to synthetic dyes while promoting thicker, shinier, and healthier hair.

KEY BENEFITS

• Provides a natural, rich black or dark brown tint when applied after a henna treatment, effectively covering grays without chemicals

HOW TO USE

For rich black/dark hair (2-step process): First, apply Devatara Henna paste, leave it on to dye the hair reddish-orange, and wash it off with water. Next, mix Devatara Indigo Powder with warm water (and a pinch of salt if desired) to form a smooth paste. Let it rest for just 10-15 minutes. Apply evenly from root to tip, leave on for 1–2 hours, and rinse thoroughly with plain water (avoid shampoo for 24-48 hours to allow the color to fully oxidize and deepen).

 For a single-step brown tone: Blend Indigo and Henna powders together with warm water, let sit briefly, and apply to the hair for 1-2 hours.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use Indigo powder by itself on gray hair?
Using Indigo directly on gray or white hair without a henna base may result in a bluish-green tint. For a natural brown or black shade, it is always recommended to use it after or mixed with a Henna application.

 Will it make my hair dry?
Like henna, indigo can sometimes feel slightly drying. You can follow up with a light application of Devatara botanical hair oils a day or two later, after the color has fully developed.

What does the 100g pack cover?
A 100g pack typically covers shoulder-length hair for a single full application, depending on hair thickness and usage frequency.
