Zenia100% Pure Indigo Powder and Henna Powder Hair Color Combo Kit | for Coloring Hair and Beard Black | 100 Grams Each | All Natural, Chemical Free, PPD-free, Ammonia-free

I use Henna because I developed a severe allergy to hair color. Everyone keeps asking how long does the color last. I purchased the Henna/Indigo on 01/23/2025 and now it's time to color it again. I'm African American, with a relaxed (chemical treatment) short pixie cut hair style. The gray is showing on the edges by my ear and somewhat on the top. Yes, Henna is messy (like making a mud pie on your head...use a plastic shower cap) I added lemon juice to the henna mixture. I wanted good color so I kept the henna for the recommended amount of time. I also added lemon juice to the Indigo mixture and allowed it to remain in place longer than the time recommended. The rich black color was OUTSTANDING. I rinsed the mixture out only with water, don't use any shampoo. I went to the salon after 1 week and had a protein treatment done because the product is drying to the scalp. My color held for over 3 months plus.

Love it! No reactions like previous products with PPD, chemicals etc. Can be messy but I’m sure I will get better on the next try. The Final result of color is Perfect! 5 stars for my experience 👍

My Henna and Indigo reviewI am a 1st time henna user. I decided to try henna because the other hair colors were making my hair dry. Also my locs were breaking. I haven't colored in 8 months. So hoping the henna can provide good grey coverage as well as be healthier for my hair. I'm listing the steps below and adding pictures to be as helpful as possible to anyone who is also new to trying this. I only did my roots as I was unsure of the results.Step 1: mix 1/3 of the 100 mg packet with warm water. Let it sit overnight .Step 2: 10 a.m. next morning add almost the full packet of 100 m.g. indigo and mix with hot water. See pictures for ho much of each packet I used, and what the mixture looked like at this point.Step 3: I let the mixture sit for 2 hours. See picture of the mixture after 2 hours. At 12.15 I used Vaseline around the edges on my face to protect my skin from the color. I then dampened my roots with warm water. Hoping this would help the henna better absorb than on dry hair. I applied the mixture generously to my roots. See picture of my roots before coloring.Step 4: when all my roots were saturated I use a small trash back to cover my hair. This was better than a cap because my hair has gotten thick and long.Step 5. I kept the mixture in from 1 p.m. until 7: 30 p.m. I then rinsed the mixture out with warm water. See picture of my hair after henna color. I allowed my hair to sit overnight and into the next day. I did not use shampoo or conditioner yet because all of the tutorials I had read before warned against washing with products to soon after henna dye.Step 5: the next day at 4 p.m. I washed my hair with conditioner. Then a small mix of shampoo and conditioner. Then i shampoo and the end aging because i could still feel the henna. See picture of my groomed hair. Side picture as well. I used a very soft loc gel to groom my hair, as I read a few warnings about adding oil/ oily products too soon.My thoughts about dying with henna• I got pretty decent coverage after sitting for 6.5 hours. The sides where my greys are prominent seemed to be more a dark brown shade. It got darker as it dried. I decided to apply the henna mix I saved to the sides and front of my hair. I slept overnight with it. Maybe next time I should lower the ratio of henna to indigo. Or use lemon juice/black teas as suggested elsewhere.• I would not put the henna mix on the rest of my locs. The mixture was thick and hardened in my hair. It was hard to wash out. I'm not sure how successful I would be removing it from locs. Maybe I will have better luck when I wash with conditioner and shampoo, as my hair is till sludgy. Will update.• The mix really smells. Will consider adding oils I have seen mentioned next time to help with the smell.• Overall it was ok. My hair was colored. More red in the mix than I wanted. I have to adjust henna to indigo ratio. My sides that are more grey, definitely were more redish brown. But I'm ok, as long as my greys are covered I can try again and hopefully get a better dark color. Hope this helps.

I’m allergic to hair dye but this henna didn’t irritate my face at all … and I actually mixed one and let it sit for 10 minutes…then I applied it to my face and let it sit on for a hr … and it worked… I went from completely silver to black

I fully intended to leave a great review as I normally love/don't have any problems with this brand. However, this time it simply did not do it's job in the least, meaning it did absolutely nothing for my hair. I thought I had perhaps done something wrong the first time (I normally mix the Indigo with a certain portion of Henna to achieve a dark brown color, but instead I ended up with the "bronzey/organge" henna color (so instead of grey roots, I now have orange roots...not cool). . The second time (today), I decided to activate the indigo separately to ensure the dye was releasing. Guess what? To my surprise, the indigo never released it's color (meaning, it's been over an hour (usually takes only 10-15 min) and the powder (mixed with ACV (as I have been doing for years) is still it's original GREEN color. My guess is that instead of Indigo, I may have been sent some mis-packaged Henna (Henna takes hours to release it's color). Needless to say, this is very disappointing.

I have purchased this multiple times. The vibrant color never disappoints. It takes hours to work, but you don't have to worry about harsh chemicals from regular dyes. However, if not used properly and carefully, it can stain clothing and items. Prepare to protect areas and things you touch while applying it.

Henna sticks to your hair and colors well but the indigo never takes to hair.
