    Step 1: Applying Henna

     

    • Combine the henna powder and lemon juice in a mixing bowl.
    • Slowly start adding water and stir this mixture until you have a thick pudding-like paste.
    • Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and leave it on overnight for the dye in the henna to release.
    • Drape an old towel around your shoulders and put on your rubber gloves.
    • Divide your hair into as many sections as you want and clip them up.
    • Working with one section at a time, start applying henna with a hair coloring brush right from the roots to the ends.
    • Roll this section around your finger into a little curl and stick it to your head.
    • Once you are done with applying henna to all the sections, apply the rest of the henna all over your head and work it in with your hands for complete coverage.
    • Put on a shower cap.
    • You can leave in the henna for anywhere between 2 hours and overnight.
    • Rinse off the henna with just water. Do not use shampoo or conditioner.


    Step 2: Applying Indigo

     

    • Mix the indigo powder, salt, and corn starch and slowly add water to it until you have a thick paste.
    • Divide your hair into sections and apply the indigo paste to it the same way you applied henna.
    • Put on a shower cap and leave it on overnight.
