The Indigo plant, which has the botanical name of Indigofera Tinctoria, has been used as a natural coloring agent since ancient times. Here are five amazing benefits of using Indigo leaf powder in your hair care or color regimen.
It’s 100% herbal
Indigo leaf powder is extracted from the leaves of Indigo plants. It colors the hair without using chemicals, PPD or additives, thus causing no damage to the hair follicle.
It’s extremely versatile
Indigo acts as a natural hair dye, and one packet of leaf powder can provide you with a variety of hair color shades. While it has a natural blue tint, you can experiment with a variety of shades as you mix the powder with henna. Depending on the proportions of your indigo-henna mixture, you can achieve shades of brown, black, mahogany, and more.
It contains no ammonia
Many hair dyes on the market contained ammonia, which can lead to serious respiratory problems when used repeatedly. Indigo powder is entirely ammonia-free.
It stimulates hair growth
When used regularly, Indigo leaf powder can prevent scalp infections and stimulate hair growth. Mix a generous amount of powder with some coconut oil and massage into your scalp.
It treats premature graying
Using indigo powder regularly will both reverse and prevent graying of the hair.
