CARMEL ORGANICSHair Color Henna & Indigo Leaves Powder Combo (4 Ounce Each) For black & Brown hair| No added colours or chemicals | Non-GMO | Pure And Natural Dried Leaves

Arrived on time

This is the best Henna & Indigo I've used to color 100% gray/white new growth. I have 4C hair with 20 inch locs. It is fine sifted and mixes without clumping. The Henna has a deep bright color w/ shine and a silky texture. Unlike other products and website suggestions, I only let this oxidize (sit) after mixing for 45 minutes--mixed w/ purified water only. The hair (shampooed before application) rinses clean without grit or feeling dry. After applying and rinsing the Henna, I mixed the Henna and let it sit for about 15 minutes to develop. Next, I mixed the Indigo separately and then mixed it with the Henna for the 2nd step. I applied the Henna/Indigo immediately; following the Morrocan Method suggestion that you mix and apply Indigo immediately. I was able to achieve a light to medium brown in the patch test within 45 minutes and the same in the full application after 2 hours with the Henna/Indigo ratios I tried. One caveat for me is that after rinsing the Henna/Indigo 2nd step application I do a light shampoo with my cold process bar soap. This generally helps remove any excess powder for me and ensures that it dries silky and without grit/dryness. I don't think it compromises color. I've tried other Indigos and they didn't work at all. Consistent with my research regarding true indigo, this Indigo is "blue" if you test it with cloth or paper towel.

I use it for making hair mask .Absolutely worked.The packaging with a complementary dip tea bags was very welcoming. Will separately order the herbal tea bags.Those tasted very good.

Have been combining indigo and henna to dye my hair and tint early grays (it is a good natural alternative for dark brown hair). It is easy to mix with warm water and apply with same utensils (and care) as any box product. I had read about the smell, it is a strong herbal smell as with other dry leaves; goes away after washing thoroughly. Coverage and duration will vary person to person (do your research before using so you get the expected result). Mixed with jojoba or argan oil can be a regular hair mask to maintain the color and keep it hydrated.

No instruction on how to mix and use. Too bad. I need to now search how I am gonna mix it

Item is good

Loved it!
