Looking for a natural way to dye your hair black or deep brown? The Henna + Indigo method is an ancient Ayurvedic secret that not only colors but nourishes your hair from root to tip. Here’s the correct step-by-step process to use Indigo after Henna for best results
Step 1: Apply Henna First
What Henna Does:
- Gives hair a reddish-orange base
- Strengthens hair roots
- Adds shine and body
How to Prepare and Apply Henna:
- Mix OZEL Care Henna Powder with warm water (and optional tea water or lemon juice).
- Let it rest for 6–8 hours for dye release.
- Apply on clean, dry hair. Cover with a shower cap.
- Leave for 2–4 hours.
- Rinse with water (no shampoo).
Tip: After rinsing, your hair will appear orange/red. This is the perfect base for Indigo.
Step 2: Apply Indigo on Henna-Colored Hair
What Indigo Does:
- Reacts with the red tones from Henna to give dark brown to black color
- Conditions and strengthens hair naturally
How to Use Indigo:
- Mix OZEL Care Indigo Powder with warm water.
- Apply the paste immediately to dry, henna-colored hair.
- Leave for 2–3 hours.
- Rinse with water only.
- Avoid shampooing for at least 48 hours.
Note: Indigo must be applied fresh. Don’t store the paste.
