Zenia 100% Natural Indigo Powder Hair & Beard Dye Color | Vegan & Cruelty-Free | Color Your Hair Black Naturally | No Preservatives | 1,000g (2.2 lbs)

I was hesitant to try using henna and indigo to get my blue black color I’ve kept for years with a Sally’s brand. I tried doing this a decade ago with zero success in getting anything other than bright orange roots. This time around I used every tip. My roots were 60% silver and white with 40% light brown and I hadn’t dyed it in 8 weeks. Did a different brand of organic henna 50/50 with Zevia indigo for first process - Added lemon juice and sea salt and mixed with dark French press coffee steeped in distilled water. Also added a teaspoon of aloe Vera powder. Mixed to thick pudding consistency, let it sit for 3 hours, applied to deep-cleansed towel dried hair, wrapped it all up in plastic wrap under a turban and let it sit on hair for 4 hours. Rinsed with cold water, no shampoo/conditioner or product used afterward. It was still feeling really soft. Towel dried my hair and applied just zevia indigo alone (again mixed with the coffee, lemon juice and aloe powder plus a splash of acv), left it on for another 4 hours wrapped up. Rinsed with cold water. Put nothing else in my hair after and no heat to dry. Came out really close to the rest of my blue black hair! After 48 hours, I see 2 or 3 single copper strands peaking through but you can barely see them and I’d say that’s amazing considering I had so many white hairs. I have zero whites now. I’m sure over time they’ll only darken more as I repeat the process.

I followed some instructions on utube to get my perfect color and how to use the product.

Does exactly what it is intended to do.

dye hair

just as background, i have brown normal hair that is a few inches above my shoulders. i wanted to darken it more and get a black color without using chemicals. the last thing i had done anything with my hair, as in red highlights, was ten years ago. i generally avoid experimenting too much with my hair so i thought a natural product would be just the solution for my needs. i followed the instructions for this product super carefully, twice in fact. the first time i mixed half the packet (since i have short hair only around half was needed according to the package instructions) with Nupur Mehendi. after I let the Nupur henna sit on the counter overnight for over 12 hours i mixed the indigo in the morning with it and let it sit for around 20 minutes and then carefully applied it evenly all over my hair. i then wrapped my head in a shower cap and let it sit for six full hours, two hours longer than stated on the package because i know indigo essentially works by staining and the longer you leave it the better. i washed my hair after six hours but just with conditioner so it gets the chance to oxidize and then almost 24 hours later i shampooed and conditioned again. my hair was still the exact same shade, brown. i figured maybe i should use the indigo separately so a week later i repeated the process but did both the henna and the indigo separately, letting each sit for 6 hours. let's just say it was a long day devoted only to hair care from morning to night time. i again just conditioned and waited a day to shampoo and condition and well my hair is just still just brown. i swear not a shade darker. the henna made it coppery throughout but the indigo didnt leave any effect. i am really upset. how could this happen? how could two long treatments fail unless the product is bad? i have considered that maybe the product is expired or not fresh so i tried to look for an expiration date but no luck, none on the package i can see. the henna product has an expiration date so i think the indigo products should have one too. that's the only explanation i can think of, i got a product that was not fresh and lost its potency, if something like this happens with indigo. i can see it has worked for some people so beware of getting a not fresh product from this seller. going to try another seller on amazon for this and hope for better results

For all of the ladies who said this stuff doesn't work, you must have applied it wrong. Its really not rocket science! I did not follow the instructions given by doing henna first. I simply added a tbsp. and a half of Nupur Mehendi to about 6 oz. of Indigo powder and I got amazing results. My hair is about 35% grey and I'm only 36. I have been grey since I was 17 and always used chemical dyes in black or platinum blond. Black in the winter and blonde in the summer. I love to color my hair but since I have gone all natural for the first time in 14 years of having natural hair, I decided to try indigo to color it instead. Now keep in mind I have used henna several times throughout the 14 years of being natural but I have never used Indigo powder.I needed to cover my grey for a party this weekend so I ordered this Friday 8/3/13 and I got it on 8/6/13 so that was pretty fast.So I mixed it first by itself and did a strand test. It was a little green at first even after letting it sit for about an hour but I noticed the top was turning black after covering it for another half hour. So I added the Nupur thinking it would cut down the greenish look. I really don't think that worked but I added some more indigo just to make sure the color would still be dark. I read some reviews that said Nupur makes it red so I didn't want any red hair. Also, I didn't use a lot of Nupur incase this process didn't turn out right.So getting to applying the product. My hair was dry when I put it in. From roots to tips, I applied it while trying to message it in as much as possible before moving around my head. Once I had applied it all over, I quickly mixed up a small batch of the product making it a little more soupy than the one I had already applied. Then I started adding hot water from the sink by wetting my hands (sparingly), rubbing them together to get a little soupiness then applied to my head I did this until my whole head was wet to the consistency of a regular chemical dye. Then I applied my soupy mixture just for added security incase I missed some spots. Chemical dyes have their own moisture from the ingredients but henna and indigo are dry from the start meaning they need moisture applied to really work. My hair was wet but not dripping. I had no dripping at all.I put a plastic cap on, a bonnet and wrapped a head band around my head to keep the heat in. My results were amazing after leaving it on for about 4 hours. My greys are gone and my hair is really dark. I really wish I could have left it on over night but I'm working out in the morning and this would be a hassle for me at 4:45 in the am. So I washed it out, co-washed then gave myself and Olive Oil hot oil treatment with a heating bonnet for 30 minutes. I wash my hair with black soap anyway but I used it to get the oil out a little from the H.O.T. For the most part, my hair has oil in it because I can comb throw it but its not greasy. For those who have not figured it out yet, I'm African American with 3c hair. LOL! I hope this helps someone. I read about 50 reviews before I purchase anything, just to get an array of different opinions. Good luck!

I always have an allergic reaction to this product. Next time I'm trying a different brand to see if it makes a difference

Bien empacado, el pelo me queda castaño muy oscuro como mi color natural ni rastro de canas
