"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 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.
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.
