Natural Black Hair Colour Kit

A two-step Ayurvedic black hair colour ritual in one kit, this three-herb set builds a rich, natural-looking black using only plant powders, with no ammonia or peroxide. Each powder is pure and filler-free, coating the hair shaft rather than stripping it.

The black comes through in sequence: henna goes on first to lay a warm binding base, then indigo layers over it to deepen the shade, while amla cools the tone for a flatter, more natural finish. Applying the herbs in stages, rather than all at once, gives the deepest and longest-lasting result.

What's inside

• Henna - the binding red base that indigo needs to grip
• Indigo - layers over the henna to deepen the shade to black
• Amla - cools and refines the tone for a natural, ashier black

This time-honoured ritual is traditionally used to support even coverage of stubborn grey and white strands, leaving hair feeling stronger, softer and glossier as it colours. The deposited shade is long lasting and fades slowly rather than washing straight out, making it best for anyone wanting to cover greys with a natural, chemical-free black. A patch test on the inner arm twenty four to forty eight hours beforehand is essential, and a strand test helps you preview the shade.

To use: blend henna with amla and warm water, rest overnight, apply for two to three hours and rinse without shampoo; then apply freshly mixed indigo for one to two hours, rinse with cool water and skip shampoo for forty eight hours while the colour deepens.
