Indigo Leaves Powder - 100% Natural Hair Colour & Scalp Healer

Naturally Colours Hair without Chemicals

Indigo Leaves Powder is the purest alternative to chemical hair dyes. Indigo leaves contain a natural blue pigment that safely darkens grey or light hair into rich brown and black tones - without ammonia, PPD, or artificial colorants. Instead of penetrating and damaging the hair shaft like synthetic dyes, Indigo gently coats each strand, adding natural depth and shine. When combined with Henna, it creates a soft, natural shade that looks elegant and vibrant. It’s the perfect herbal solution for those who want healthy colour without sacrificing hair health.

Strengthens Roots & Reduces Hair Fall

Indigo is not just a colouring agent - it’s a powerful hair rejuvenator. It’s rich in nutrients that penetrate deeply into the scalp, strengthening the roots and improving blood flow to hair follicles. This nourishment helps reduce breakage and hair fall, especially for those suffering from thinning hair due to stress, pollution, or chemical damage. Over time, your scalp feels stronger, your hair grows thicker, and you notice far less shedding on your comb or pillow. Indigo truly revives your hair from the roots up.

Soothes Scalp & Controls Dandruff

One of Indigo’s most valuable yet underrated qualities is its cooling and antibacterial nature. Regular use calms irritation, itching, and inflammation - giving instant relief to those with dry or sensitive scalps. Its antifungal properties help fight dandruff-causing microbes and maintain a clean, balanced scalp. By keeping your scalp healthy and buildup-free, Indigo encourages stronger, smoother, and healthier hair growth naturally.

Adds Shine & Softness to Hair

Chemical colours often leave hair dry, brittle, and lifeless - but Indigo does the exact opposite. It nourishes and smoothens the cuticle layer, locking in moisture and reflecting light for that soft, silky finish. Regular use improves hair texture, tames frizz, and restores the natural luster lost due to heat or chemical styling. The result is smooth, manageable, and glossy hair that feels as good as it looks. It’s not just colour - it’s herbal conditioning in every strand.

Promotes Hair Growth & Prevents Premature Greying

Indigo promotes hair growth by stimulating microcirculation in the scalp and supplying essential nutrients to hair follicles. It strengthens the roots, reducing breakage and encouraging new hair to grow thicker and healthier. Its antioxidant-rich formula also protects cells from oxidative stress - a major reason behind premature greying. Over time, it helps retain natural pigment and shine, making your hair look youthful, voluminous, and full of life.
