Our powder is of \u003cstrong\u003eextremely high quality\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cstrong\u003every fine\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003erich in indigotin\u003c\/strong\u003e, the active ingredient responsible for pigmentation, to guarantee an intense and uniform color result. It is obtained through the \u003cstrong\u003efermentation of leaves in water\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are then dried and finely ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat color does it give?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pigment released by Indigo is \u003cstrong\u003ebluish\u003c\/strong\u003e, not black. Used alone on white hair, the result will indeed be bluish. On \u003cstrong\u003ebrown hair\u003c\/strong\u003e, however, it is perfect for achieving results ranging from \u003cstrong\u003edark brown to raven black with blue\/purple highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e. In combination with Lawsonia, it also allows you to achieve \u003cstrong\u003ewarm browns and mahogany\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to prepare and apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix the powder with \u003cstrong\u003ehot water\u003c\/strong\u003e — avoid acidic substances, as Indigo prefers a neutral or slightly alkaline environment to release the pigment optimally. You can add a pinch of \u003cstrong\u003ebaking soda or salt\u003c\/strong\u003e to help set the color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e apply the paste immediately after preparing it or at most within 30 minutes of preparation. When a \u003cstrong\u003epurplish patina\u003c\/strong\u003e forms on the surface, it means that the peak pigment release has been reached. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn white, blonde, or bleached hair\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn light bases, the bluish pigment of Indigo used alone would give undesirable results, with the hair potentially appearing in strange colors such as \u003cstrong\u003elight blue or green\u003c\/strong\u003e. For this reason, it is necessary to use it \u003cstrong\u003ein combination with Lawsonia (red henna)\u003c\/strong\u003e — mixing the two powders together or performing a \u003cstrong\u003edouble process\u003c\/strong\u003e (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 \u003cstrong\u003epersist with 3-4 close treatments\u003c\/strong\u003e for a stable setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits for the hair\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed together with Lawsonia, Indigo helps make the hair \u003cstrong\u003estronger, shinier, and fuller\u003c\/strong\u003e.
