    Default indigo help in finding it

    hello!
    im trying to find indigo but i dont know where to buy it, i havent found a single store where i can physically buy it, so im thinking to order it, but im very ignorant in this matter, do you know a place that have international shipping and that is good?

    and indigo will make gray hairs turn brown instead of orange with henna?
    what are your experiences?
    thanks very much in advance!!

    Indigo makes things blue. When combined with henna it makes shades of brown and black.

    I'd also like to find indigo for the hair. I want blue highlights.

    I've used indigo tie-dye kits for fabric from the fabric store. Can I use that?

    i tought about that too, since it seems really hard to find indigo for hair, but im scared that maybe those colorants have some chemicals on it, but i honestly dont know

    The indigo and chemicals in the kit are all separate. So I could use the indigo by itself if it worked.

    Indigo used to create blue and indigo used in hair to make black are different. Yes they are both indigo but the fermentation process is different somehow. I recommend checking out www.hennaforhair.com for more information. I also recommend them or hennasooq for purchasing.
