Why Use Coffee and Indigo Powder?
Both coffee and indigo powder have been used traditionally for their coloring properties and hair benefits. Coffee, rich in antioxidants, is known for its ability to darken hair and add shine. The caffeine in coffee stimulates hair growth and improves texture, while the dark pigments in coffee beans enhance hair color by adding a rich, darker hue. Indigo powder, derived from the indigo plant, has been used for centuries in traditional dyeing methods to achieve shades from deep blue to black. It is a plant-based dye that is safe and non-toxic, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a natural hair dye alternative. When combined, coffee and indigo powder create a powerful, natural hair dye that not only darkens your hair but also promotes overall hair health.
