✨ Why Choose Nature’s Basket Indigo?

🌿 The Art of Botanical Color*

Indigo is a traditional plant dye intended to enhance the appearance and vibrancy of your hair:²

• Deep Tones: Perfect for individuals wanting to achieve a midnight-black or deep raven shade without the use of harsh additives.

• Hair Texture: Like henna, indigo acts as a natural film-former, helping hair feel thicker and look smoother after application.

• Scalp-Friendly Ritual: A plant-based choice for those who prefer the gentle experience of a traditional herbal paste over modern chemical foams.

• Sustainable Beauty: 100% vegan and biodegradable, fitting perfectly into a clean-living lifestyle.

Nature's Basket Indigo is a cosmetic botanical product for external use. Final color results are influenced by your hair's natural shade, history, and application time.

🥄 Directions for Use

For a Natural Black Shade (The Two-Step Process):

1. Henna First: Apply Nature’s Basket Henna according to its directions, then rinse and dry your hair. (This provides the base needed for the indigo to "stick").

2. Indigo Paste: Mix the indigo powder with warm water until it reaches a smooth, yogurt-like consistency.³ Apply immediately, as indigo releases its dye quickly.

    

3. Timing: Leave on for 1–3 hours, depending on the desired depth of color.

4. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with water. For the best color "set," avoid shampooing for 24–48 hours.

For Blue Tones: Apply alone to light or blonde hair to achieve a unique botanical blue shimmer.

🌿 Ingredients

• Ingredient: 100% Pure Indigo Powder (Indigofera tinctoria).⁴

   

• Purity: No preservatives, artificial fragrances, or chemical color-boosters.

🛡️ Quality & Safety

• External Use Only: Avoid contact with eyes and broken skin.

❓ FAQs — Indigo Powder NZ

Can I use this on hair that has been chemically dyed?

Because our indigo is 100% pure and free from metallic salts, it is safer than many "box dyes." However, we recommend a 4-week gap between chemical treatments and herbal coloring, and always performing a strand test first.

How much powder do I need?

Short hair: 100g | Shoulder length: 150g | Long hair: 200g+. One 227g pouch is typically enough for a full application on medium-to-long hair.

Do I have to use henna first?

If you want a deep black color, yes. Indigo alone on grey or light hair often results in a blue-green tint.⁶ Applying it over a henna base (which is orange/red) creates the natural black result.⁷
