What colour result can I expect from INDIAN HENNA Indigo BASMA?

Indigo basma gives blue-toned botanical pigment, so the final shade depends strongly on your starting hair colour and whether you use it alone or with henna.

Should I use indigo basma alone, mix it with henna, or apply it after henna?

The method matters: using indigo alone, mixing it with henna, or applying it after henna can lead to different brown-to-dark results.

What should I check before using indigo basma on my hair?

A strand test and a skin tolerance check are especially useful with botanical colour because results vary more than with standard oxidative dyes.

"INDIAN HENNA" Indigo BASMA is a natural hair colour made from 100% basma, or indigo, powder (Indigofera powder). The powder is used together with henna to achieve darker and cooler hair tones.

Basma is a plant-based hair colour that helps create natural brown, chestnut, chocolate and black shades. The product is suitable for natural hair care and Ayurveda-inspired hair colouring.

NET QUANTITY: 100 g

INGREDIENTS (INCI): 100% basma powder (Indigofera powder)

USE: Before colouring, wash the hair and lightly towel-dry it. Use gloves when applying the colour. Mix the required amount of powder with warm water at 60-70 °C until the mixture is smooth. To achieve deeper and more intense shades, it is recommended to let the mixture stand for 1-2 hours, then add warm water and mix again. Apply to the hair, starting from the roots. Processing time is from 20 minutes to 4 hours.

RECOMMENDED PROPORTIONS:

Black shade: 2 parts basma and 1 part henna
Chestnut shade: 1 part basma and 1 part henna
Golden bronze shade: 1 part basma and 2 parts henna
Brown shade: 1 part basma and 1 part henna, keep on the hair for a shorter time

The longer the mixture is kept on the hair, the darker and richer the colour will be. Basma and henna can also be applied to the hair separately, in the given proportions, one after the other. This step-by-step colouring helps achieve cooler shades such as natural light brown, brown and chocolate, without a red or golden sheen.

WARNINGS: It is not recommended to colour the hair with basma alone — always mix it with henna. Henna helps neutralise the bluish-green tone of basma. For external use only. Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to any ingredient. In case of allergic reactions, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children.

STORAGE: Store at a temperature from +5 ºC to +25 ºC, in a dry, dark place, out of reach of children.

What Is Indigo Basma

INDIAN HENNA Indigo BASMA 100 g is a plant-based hair colouring powder chosen by people who want a deeper, cooler shade or a darker result when colouring with henna and herbal dyes. In hair colouring, indigo powder is valued because it deposits blue-toned pigment on the hair surface. When used on its own or together with henna, it helps create brown to dark tones depending on the starting hair colour and the colouring method.

How Botanical Hair Colour Works

Unlike oxidation dyes that rely on stronger chemical reactions inside the hair shaft, indigo-based herbal hair colour tends to coat and bond around the outer layers of the hair. This is why the result often looks more nuanced and individual rather than flat. The final shade depends on:

Your natural base colour
Previous colouring history
Hair porosity
Whether basma is applied after henna or mixed with it

Why People Choose Indigo Basma

Indigo, often called basma in traditional hair colouring, has been used for a long time in herbal beauty practices across Asia and the Middle East. People usually choose it to:

Mute the warm copper tone of henna
Move the result toward chestnut or dark brown
Refresh the look of hair without standard dye

It can suit those building a gentler beauty regimen, especially if they prefer powdered botanical hair colour and enjoy a more hands-on colouring process.

Things to Keep in Mind

This product may be relevant for those with naturally brown or dark hair, for people combining henna and indigo for richer tones, or for anyone experimenting with plant-based hair cosmetics. Because herbal colour develops differently from synthetic dye, a strand test is especially useful before full application.

Very light, bleached, or heavily damaged hair: the shade may turn out less predictable.
Recently coloured with conventional dye: results may vary.
Sensitive scalp: check tolerance on the skin before use and be extra cautious.

Customer Questions

INDIAN HENNA Indigo BASMA is a plant-based hair colouring powder used to create cooler, deeper-looking tones in herbal hair colouring. Indigo deposits a blue-toned pigment on the outer layers of the hair, which is why it is often used to reduce the warm copper effect of henna or to move the result toward chestnut, brown or dark brown shades.The exact result is individual. Natural base colour, previous colouring history, hair porosity and the application method all affect the outcome. On naturally brown or dark hair, indigo basma may help deepen or cool the shade. When combined with henna, it can help create richer brown tones rather than a bright red-orange henna result. On very light, bleached or heavily damaged hair, the result may be less predictable, because porous hair can grab pigment unevenly or show cooler tones more strongly.If you are aiming for a specific shade, do a strand test before applying it to all of your hair. Test on a small hidden section or collected hair from your brush, using the same method and timing you plan for the full application. Check the colour after rinsing and again after it has had time to settle, as botanical colour can look different once the hair is dry and the pigment has finished developing.

The best method depends on the result you want and your current hair colour. Indigo basma is valued in herbal colouring because it adds a cool, blue-toned pigment. Used with henna, it can mute copper warmth and help shift the final colour toward brown or darker tones. Used on its own, the effect can be more dependent on the base colour underneath, so it is usually approached carefully, especially on light or previously lightened hair.Mixing henna and indigo together is commonly chosen when the goal is a more blended brown effect, because the warm pigment from henna and the cool pigment from indigo influence each other in one application. Applying indigo after henna is often chosen when a deeper or darker result is desired, because the henna layer provides a warmer base for the indigo pigment to attach to visually. The product information notes that the final shade can differ depending on whether basma is applied after henna or mixed with it.If your hair has been recently coloured with conventional dye, or if it is bleached, very light or damaged, avoid guessing from photos alone. Do a strand test with the exact method you intend to use. This is the most reliable way to see whether the colour becomes too cool, too dark, uneven, or simply different from what you expected.

Before a full application, check two things: how your hair responds to the colour and how your skin tolerates the product. Indigo-based herbal colour does not behave exactly like standard oxidative dye. It tends to coat and bond around the outer layers of the hair, so the visible result is influenced by your natural base colour, porosity, earlier colouring and the way you combine it with henna.For a strand test, choose a small hidden section of hair or use shed hair collected from a brush. Apply the prepared powder mixture using the same proportions, timing and method you plan to use on your full head. Rinse, dry and view the strand in natural light. This is particularly important if your hair is very light, bleached, heavily damaged or recently coloured with conventional dye, because the product information specifically notes that results may vary or be less predictable in these cases.For a skin tolerance check, apply a small amount of the prepared mixture to a discreet area of skin and wait to see whether any discomfort appears before using it on the scalp. If you already know your scalp is sensitive, be extra cautious and avoid applying to irritated or broken skin. If you have ongoing scalp problems or a history of strong reactions to hair colour products, ask a qualified professional before use.
