Yogi's Gift Indigo Powder 2 lb — Organic Indigofera hair color, chemical-free, high indigotin for lasting brown-to-black

Yogi's Gift Indigo Powder is a 100% organic, chemical-free hair color made from powdered Indigofera tinctoria leaves for natural dark tones.

Made from sun-dried and finely ground indigo leaves, this two-pound supply provides a plant-based alternative to conventional hair dyes. Free from ammonia, PPD and synthetic additives, the powder is designed to be used alone or layered with henna to produce rich, lasting brown-to-black shades. Our processing follows strict quality checks and lab testing to ensure high indigotin content for reliable pigmentation.

How do I use indigo powder to color my hair correctly?

Mix the indigo powder with warm water to a yogurt-like paste and apply to clean, dry hair. Leave it on according to desired shade—shorter for brown tones, longer for deeper black results—and rinse thoroughly. For best outcomes on lighter hair or for long-lasting black, use a henna base first, then apply indigo as a second step.

• Mix ratio: powder to water until smooth, no lumps.
• Application: section hair and apply evenly from roots to tips.
• Timing: 30–60 minutes for brown; 1–3 hours for deeper black.
• Combine: apply on top of fully rinsed, dried henna for darker, lasting color.

What makes this indigo different from boxed hair dyes?

Our indigo is made only from processed leaves of Indigofera tinctoria with no synthetic colorants, reducing exposure to harsh chemicals. Lab tests confirm a high percentage of indigotin—the natural pigment—so you get consistent coloration. The product is raw powder, ideal for users seeking vegan, plant-derived hair color options.

• Ingredient list: 100% indigo leaf powder, nothing else.
• Safety: no ammonia, PPD, peroxide or synthetic dyes.
• Quality control: lab-tested indigotin levels assure pigmentation.
• Form: fine, sun-dried leaf powder for even mixing and spread.

Will indigo work on grey hair and different hair types?

Indigo can darken grey hair, especially when used after henna; pure indigo alone may not fully cover white hair to an intense black on the first application. Hair texture and porosity affect how the dye takes—coarser or more porous hair often absorbs color more readily. Multiple applications or the henna-then-indigo method improves coverage and longevity.

• Grey coverage: best when used after henna; expect gradual improvement.
• Hair types: compatible with straight, wavy, curly and coily hair.
• Repeatability: repeat applications deepen tone and coverage.
• Maintenance: use sulfate-free shampoos to prolong color.

How should I store and prepare indigo powder for maximum shelf life?

Keep the powder in a cool, dry, airtight container away from sunlight to preserve pigment and prevent moisture clumping. Only mix the paste immediately before use, because indigo oxidizes and loses potency once hydrated. Proper storage and timely mixing ensure the pigment remains active for vivid results.

• Storage: airtight container, cool and dry place, avoid humidity.
• Preparation: mix with warm water just before application.
• Shelf life: dry powder keeps well; avoid long-term exposure to air.
• Packaging: reseal promptly after each use to retain freshness.

Who is this for? Yogi's Gift Indigo Powder is intended for people seeking a natural, vegan hair-coloring option without synthetic chemicals—ideal for eco-conscious users, those with sensitivities to conventional dyes, and anyone who prefers plant-based grooming. It suits individuals who are comfortable preparing and applying powdered dyes at home and who want control over shade depth by adjusting application time or combining with henna.
