Hi all,
I have been researching Indigo because I have been wanting a reliable
and safe dark hair dye. As opposed to Henna, which works best in an
acidic mixture, Indigo works better in a more base mixture. In my
last mix I used boiling water with my indigo to make a very thick
paste. Let that cool down. Then add enough egg whites to make it
workable. I left mine in for 2 hours. This works great; the egg
whites make the indigo easy to rinse out and give the hair a lot of
shine. And with the ph of about 8 egg white is on the high (more
base) side of the spectrum. This works really well for me. Hope it
helps
