To check the colour, we recommend you strand test a small section of your hair before applying to your entire head. Order the small 10g sample size to try it out and do a strand test and patch test.
A few other things to bear in mind:
Leaving the paste on for a longer time will make the colour stronger. If you want a deeper colour, you can also build up the colour with a second application.
The true colour takes a few hours to develop. When you first wash out the dye it will often not be the full depth of colour, but it will gradually darken to its true colour. Like a cut apple - at first the apple is white and then as it oxidises in the air it goes brown.
If your hair has been chemically lightened it will affect the colour result. - Chemical lighteners make your hair more porous and thus absorb the colour less predictably.
It is not recommended to use chemical bleach after using this dye unless it has faded or grown out. This is because bleach will not remove indigo so you may be left with a bluish colour.

This range promotes natural hair colouring, free from dangerous heavy metals and chemicals. It's so easy to apply and the result is amazingly soft, bouncy hair with durable colour.
For silver/gray hair, I suggest using a deep cleansing product a few times prior to applying a colour, so to remove all residual products from hair strands and scalp.
On the day of colour application, turn it into a self-care day by reserving about five hours to yourself. Cover floor with plastic or newspaper; have a cover for your clothes, comb, gloves, non-metalic bowl, paint brush, hair clips, etc all at hand. Pre-wash hair with a neutral/salt-free shampoo; do not use conditioning or oils. Mix hot water with henna powder (to cover the grey shade) and apply immediately. Hair can be wrapped in cling film and plastic cover, and an old t-shirt or towel. Leave it for 2-3 hours. Wash and leave it to dry. Then apply the colour you wish on the same day or the next.
Use this time to do some journaling, drawing, knitting, reading, waxing, nails, etc. Enjoy.

I bought this Hair Dye as it was Herbal and 💯 percent Organic, but Unfortunately when I received it and read what was written on the box it said Not Suitable to cover Grey Hairs I was fuming as my hair is Black and I get Grey hairs on the Top and front. I couldn’t return it as it Contained Ammonia. So I had to Bin it.
Dear Robina
Thank you for your review; I am sorry you did not like the dye.
We do make sure on the product page to mention in the description the dye is not suitable for use directly on grey hairs; this is because it is pure Indigo leaf powder, which if used directly on grey hairs can go a blue/green tone.
For that reason we advise following a two-step process to get a black shade on greys - using either pure Henna, Chestnut or Dark Brown first to get a good warm colour on your greys, and then following up with an application of Indigo Black to get a strong black shade.
The dye does not contain ammonia - in the picture it shows 'No PPD, No Ammonia'.
Our dyes only contain organic plant leaf powders, with no added toxic chemical ingredients, and are certified by the Soil Association. I do apologise if there was any confusion.
With Kindest Regards
Rebecca
