Radico Organic Indigo Leaf Powder Hair Color 100g
Radico Organic Indigo Leaf Powder Hair Color 100g is a plant-based hair colour powder made from indigo leaf powder (Indigofera tinctoria). Indigo has been traditionally used as a natural colouring botanical and is particularly known for producing blue to blue-black colour tones when used in hair colouring.
Radico's Indigo Leaf Powder can be used as part of a botanical hair-colouring routine, either on its own or in combination with henna. When used with henna, indigo helps create deeper shades such as brown, dark brown and black, depending on the application method, proportions and the starting colour of the hair.
Because botanical hair colour works differently from conventional oxidative dyes, the final result depends on factors such as natural hair colour, existing colour, amount of grey hair, hair condition, mixing method and processing time. A strand test is therefore recommended before applying it to the entire head.
What Is Indigo Leaf Powder?
Indigo leaf powder is produced from the leaves of the Indigofera tinctoria plant. Unlike synthetic hair dyes, it is a powdered botanical ingredient that is prepared with liquid before application.
Indigo is particularly useful in combination with henna. Henna generally contributes warm red-orange tones, while indigo introduces deeper blue tones. When the two botanical colourants are used together in the appropriate process, they can produce darker brown to black-looking shades.
How It Can Be Used With Henna
There are different approaches to using henna and indigo together. The final colour depends on the method selected.
A two-step application generally involves applying henna first and indigo afterward. This approach is commonly used when aiming for deeper brown or black tones.
A single-step mixture combines henna and indigo before application. Changing the proportion of each powder can influence the resulting colour.
Since the result varies from person to person, a strand test is particularly useful before choosing a specific mixing ratio for your hair.
Botanical Hair Colour
Radico Organic Indigo Leaf Powder is intended for people looking for a plant-based colouring option using indigo as the primary colour-producing botanical.
The powder can be incorporated into a broader herbal hair-colouring routine and is especially relevant for people who already use henna and want to create deeper colour tones.
How to Use
- Place the required amount of indigo powder in a non-metallic bowl.
- Mix with water according to the desired consistency and the product's instructions.
- Prepare the hair according to the recommended application method.
- Apply the prepared paste evenly to the hair.
- Leave it on for the recommended processing time.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Allow the colour to develop after application.
For combination colouring with henna, follow the recommended henna-indigo method rather than treating indigo like a conventional boxed hair dye.
