It's Pure Certified Organic Henna 100g & Organic Indigo 100g

This henna smells incredible. You can tell this is good, fresh and earthy. Indigo in general is not pleasant smelling but the colour of this was beautiful. Superb quality products, I am extremely pleased. Sorry my comment is so long, but I absolutely love this stuff for my hair and would like to help if I can. Henna is a strengthener, so just use it gently when first starting out. The silkiness comes after a week or so when your hair gets enough moisture again (conditioner; natural sebum; a little oil) So to prevent your hair from turning dry and brittle, you will need to moisturise your hair before and after. I like to rub some coconut oil on unwashed hair the night before the henna and then go to sleep with a conditioner on after the henna masque. The included instructions were accurate measures and it was really very helpful, but I like to mix other ingredients in for softness and managability, so I got 4 uses out of these 100g bags. If you have type 3 or 4 curls, then you really cannot skip deep conditioning after. Make sure you have plenty of conditioner before starting, you will need it when rinsing the henna out, and when treating your hair after. Do not shampoo henna out, your hair needs moisture - it will not have any flexibility yet and can snap if you handle it too roughly. Briefly, I like to do this on flat ironed hair that hasn't been shampooed for maybe a week. I have shared pictures of how I like to put the henna on my head - starting on my crown and working clockwise, sculpting a cone shape. My own recipe is I first mix 2 heaped table spoons of henna with 4 freshly squeezed lemons (just juice no pulp), and 2 table spoons of olive oil. I leave it in a glass jam jar for 2 days in my airing cupboard, this prep work takes me 10 minutes. On the 3rd day, the henna mix will be ready. So in a separate bowl, I mix 5 table spoons of indigo powder with an equal amount of marshmallow root powder (it gives slip, which makes the henna easier to rinse out after). I like to mix in a mug of milk curd or greek yogurt with this. This also takes about 10 minutes. Then I add the henna mix to the indigo mix, put vaseline all around my hairline and ears, put on latex gloves, put the mix on my hair bit by bit, wrap cling film around my head, and finally I put an old ugly beanie to keep warm. This is the back breaking stage of application - so if you're new to it, you'll really want to keep your day free (and plenty of tissues to hand!) I leave it on for four hours, then I rinse it off, put on a deep conditioner, put on a plastic cap, put my ugly beanie back on, and go to sleep. And in the morning I rinse that off and finally - all done! Let me tell you, since using henna my hair has never felt softer stronger or looked so healthy. Detangling is easier, and my frizzing has halved. The colour is such a lovely rich deep brown. The pictures at the end show my hair before being treated, then while still wet after rinsing out the overnight conditioner, and lastly when it's fully dry that night with my curls all coiled up and springing. I am so glad and grateful to these suppliers for taking pride in their quality control, this is such an outstanding quality product. It just might be the best quality henna I have ever used.

I have been using henna for some time now, on and off, and after the last application of a Lush henna (caused allergic reaction) I thought I just try the powder. I did use henna powder on its own before but never mixed with indigo. This henna is lovely. It feels different quality, much better to what I used before. It doesn't smell that much (I wouldn't mind but some people can't stand the smell), gives nice and deep colour, best colour I've ever had with henna. Mixing tips that really make it work: Henna powder (only) should be ideally mixed a night before the application, with lemon juice ( you can buy it in small bottles in baking section in stores) to the consistency of yoghurt. -i've also tried chamomile tea instead lemon juice is better and milder for the head skin...Cover with plastic film and leave it in a warm place. The following day, just before application, mix indigo with water, mix it with henna carefully and apply to your hair. Keep it for at least 2 hours covered with a shower cap and towel. If you use indigo, it's better not to wash the hair for a day or two for the colour to develop. Do not put any oil, cocoa butter or any butter, any essential oils into the henna mix - anything other than lemon juice and water. Also - mixing it with coffee will apparently not deepen the colour at all but will stink. Another thing I've tried is applying mustard seed oil after henna (after rinsing) - it is supposed to seal the colour in for good. I do believe it worked. This henna powder is lovely and smooth, feels soft as it's very fine powder. Make sure you really really want it though because you will not be able to remove henna! There is a brilliant website mehandi - everything you need to know about henna.

Good quality Henna and Indigo that's easy to use. Seems to be fresh and gave a good colour that didn't wash out too quickly and improved the condition of the hair massively. Didn't actually end up using the Indigo since my mum liked the colour just the Henna gave her. She has dark brown hair with coloured ends and a few greys. It gave her natural roots a red highlight but didn't change the colour much. Her coloured hair and greys got coloured in roughly the same way, a bit lighter and noticeable in comparison to her natural roots. The Indigo was originally brought to later dye her hair and make the red tone less noticeable. Using it is quite easy. Measure how much you need in a metal free container, I used an old jar. In terms of how much, for my mums just above shoulder length hair we used 20g and for my waist length hair I used 50g (will depend on how thick your hair is too). On your first go it's hard to get the consistency right so it might be wise to use a bit more powder than you think necessary. I added warm water by eye and throughly mix, best tip I can give is to leave the mixture for a bit and then come back to it in a few mins and if it's too thick add more water. You don't want it too watery that it will run but you don't want it too thick that it's clumpy. If you don't get it right you can always adjust along the way. How long you keep it on will depend entirely on the individual since every one has different hair in different conditions that will take the colour differently. Me and my mum kept it on for four hours since we wanted to see how rich the colour can get and how much difference it makes to the condition of the hair. Keep in mind that the first time you use it, the colour won't show up as clearly as you think. Also please don't use Indigo if you haven't used Henna before it - you can end up with green or blue highlight or hair (depending on original hair colour), unless that's what you're aiming for. Smell wise, yes it does smell but both me and my mum agreed it beats the smell of any hair colour and bleach. It just smells like grass or vegetation. You'll only need to put up with the smell whilst putting on. Over all, really happy with results and condition of hair. Will be stocking up at least on the Henna again once it runs out. Before using it I do suggest researching it as much as you can - wikipedia, blogs, whatever you can get your hands on. I also found foreign websites that have a longer history of using natural hair colorants to be more useful than the UK and US material I came across.

I wanted to dye my hair but I didn't want to use boxed dye or chemical dye because I wanted to try something natural. I came across henna when i was doing my research for dying my hair. I looked at all the hair benefits for henna and decided to try out henna. I did a ton of research before dying my hair with henna and I recommend HennaSooq on YT for information on henna, the types of henna available, how to mix henna and apply it...etc. I watched multiple videos on her henna dye and took her information to heart. I couldn't find henna or indigo powder at my local health stores so I had to buy it online. I really do recommend doing your research for henna and indigo powder because there are multiple powders out there that might contain ingredients not needed for henna such as metallic salts. I like this powder. It comes with instructions on how to make the mixture, the wait time, and how to apply. I decided to watch videos on how to make the henna dye. Again, I watched HennaSooq for the henna dye mixture. When I was fixing up the mixture, I decided to sift the henna powder first just to check if there was any stones or rocks. Once I sifted the henna, I poured it into the bowl and using a wooden spoon, I gently pressed down on the powder to get rid of any clumps-which there wasn't. I used warm/room temp rosemary and mint water (this just involves boiling rosemary and mint for 20 mins and wait till it's room temp) and added in 2 TSP of alma powder (which I bought separately) and mixed until it resembled pancake batter. I covered the dye mixture with plastic and a tea towel and left in a cool, dark place for four hours. As I waiting for the dye to release, I lined my bathroom with old dark towels. My bathroom was practically covered head to toe in towels. I also worn old ratty clothes and got a pair of gloves, shower cap, and a mixing brush to apply the dye to my hair. Once the mixture was ready, I applied the henna mixture all over my head. This is actually took a full over for me to do, so I recommend doing this when you have a day off. Once my hair was thoroughly saturated in the henna, I gently massaged the henna into my hair. Once everything was finished, I covered my hair with a shower cap plus an additional hat (to generate heat) and left the dye on my hair for four hours. Once the hours was up, I stepped into the shower and rinsed the henna off my hair-(make sure you really get the mixture out of your hair, otherwise you'll end up with an itchy scalp). I didn't wash my hair with shampoo so I only conditioned my hair. It took maybe twenty minutes to do this. Once I was finished in the shower, I could really see what my hair colour looked like. At first, it was a bright, orange red on my hair which gradually darkened over the next 3-4 days. Once I was ready to wash my hair, I did a Alma hair mask- (4 TBSP of Alma, 2 TSBP of fennel powder, 2 TSBP of honey and warm/room temp water) prior to washing my hair and it made my hair soft and shiny. It's been over a week now since I dyed my hair with henna and it now resembles a cool dark red that shines brightly in the light. I didn't use the indigo in my mixture because I wanted to see what the henna did to my hair and I am impressed! I think next time I might use the indigo just to see what happens. I forgot to mention this but I used the full packet of henna powder. Overall, I'm super impressed with this brand of henna and I'll repurchase again!

After 30 years of colouring my hair and also being a hairdresser, I developed an allergic reaction to hair dye! I started dying my hair with other henna products which were hard to use, extremely messy and unpredictable on the colour. So I decided to try “it’s pure”!! Well all I can say is... amazing! The instructions are clear, helpful and it smells wonderful. The coverage is perfect and my hair is soft also the condition has improved. My hair is normally dry and slightly course as I have curly hair with about 40% grey. I now have medium brown hair with no orange!! And luscious bouncy curls.

Fantastic products. High quality & worked just as described. Will definitely be buying more. The consistency is great for application. Comes with detailed instructions which I found really helpful. The reddish colour from previous henna use is now toned down when I rinse out the henna from my hair then apply indigo over it. My new grays covered adequately. I am sooooo pleased with these products. My problem has been solved!!! The condition of hair, natural afro is really good too!!! Follow the directions in the leaflets which come with the these products.

Bought this after quite a bit of research on Henna and indigo for darker hair... and I chickened out. My daughter bravely took my place. I mixed it up as per instructions which are simple and straight forward but omitted the Indigo as her hair is really dark. It is quite difficult to get on the hair as your putting it on as the hair seems to matt but seemingly this happens so its ok, best to section hair into small sections we didn't have a comb but a wooden skewer worked really well. Wear latex gloves that fit well maybe 2 pairs as you will turn ORANGE :) if it gets on your skin and vaseline your hairline and ears and any other bits of skin on show ( remember ORANGE) , use old towels too dark ones have cling film handy and disposable shower caps (pound shop) too didn't have too much mess, And it doesn't run or drip... We left it for 2 hours as it was our first time rinsed out well in the shower and results were perfect with a very bright orange scalp which will disappear thankfully over a couple of days as the scalp flakes all the dead skin.Few days latter colour settles and you'll have lovely hair .. I cant comment on colour really as everyone's hair will be different .. but my daughter hair was a healthy head of chestnut. It's worth researching Henna/Indigo and buying the powder not already mixed. It is fiddly but worth it for a natural hair product with no chemicals. I'm reviewing this because we have sensitive skin and my daughter does have problems with a flaky scalp and wanted a natural alternative . It's fabby

My experience with henna was too drying to the hair and indigo was drying too after five months of use my hair became dry and had to use it more ofton to keep greys at bay used a semi permanat hair dry just where it needed better coverage on the long run. Henna however did make my hair feel thicker but too much protein of henna made my hair break and hair felt like wire after a long run of use with it. I am a asian girl with medium wavy long hair.
