Indigo (Black Henna) Eril is a 100% plant-based, pure dye powder, obtained from the leaves of Indigofera tinctoria, a legume plant grown mainly in Asia and northwestern Africa, whose dyeing properties have been known since ancient times. Our powder is of extremely high quality: very fine and rich in indigotin, the active ingredient responsible for pigmentation, to guarantee an intense and uniform color result. It is obtained through the fermentation of leaves in water, which are then dried and finely ground.
What color does it give?
The pigment released by Indigo is bluish, not black. Used alone on white hair, the result will indeed be bluish. On brown hair, however, it is perfect for achieving results ranging from dark brown to raven black with blue/purple highlights. In combination with Lawsonia, it also allows you to achieve warm browns and mahogany.
How to prepare and apply
Mix the powder with hot water — avoid acidic substances, as Indigo prefers a neutral or slightly alkaline environment to release the pigment optimally. You can add a pinch of baking soda or salt to help set the color.
⚠️ Important: apply the paste immediately after preparing it or at most within 30 minutes of preparation. When a purplish patina forms on the surface, it means that the peak pigment release has been reached.
On white, blonde, or bleached hair
On light bases, the bluish pigment of Indigo used alone would give undesirable results, with the hair potentially appearing in strange colors such as light blue or green. For this reason, it is necessary to use it in combination with Lawsonia (red henna) — mixing the two powders together or performing a double process (first Lawsonia, then Indigo) — to achieve a dark, warm, and uniform result. In the first applications, it is normal for it to fade a little: you need to persist with 3-4 close treatments for a stable setting.
Benefits for the hair
Used together with Lawsonia, Indigo helps make the hair stronger, shinier, and fuller. It also has purifying properties for oily scalps with dandruff.
