Natural black hair from henna and indigo

Real black hair colour from plants uses henna and indigo together. Our Black Natural Hair Dye pack contains 100g of henna and 100g of indigo, in equal amounts, with full mixing and application instructions. It is pure henna and pure indigo, nothing else.

Not the same as "black henna" for skin: so-called black henna sold for temporary tattoos often contains PPD, which can cause severe reactions. Our black henna hair dye contains only plants. Read more in natural henna vs black henna.

One-step or two-step?

Two-step: apply henna alone, rinse, then apply indigo on its own. This gives the deepest black and is the best method for grey hair.
One-step: mix the henna first and let it release its dye, then stir in freshly mixed indigo and apply together. This is quicker and gives a soft black to very dark brown.

Before you start

Wash your hair with a simple shampoo and no conditioner, so the dye can bind evenly. Wear gloves and protect your hairline with a little oil or balm. Do a strand test on a few hairs from your hairbrush to check the shade before the full application.

How much do I need?

One 200g pack covers short, straight hair. For curly hair, measure its length when straightened. Multi packs are available for longer hair, and you can top up with extra indigo powder in 100g pouches.

Aftercare

Rinse with water only and avoid shampoo for 2 to 3 days. The black can look slightly blue at first and settles over the first few days. Both henna and indigo build with each application, so each session deepens the result. Because it is chemical-free, the colour fades more gradually than synthetic dyes.
