    Indigo
    Botanical Name: Indigofera tinctoria
    In tamil its called as Civanar vempu(சிவனார் வேம்பு ), Shivanar-vembu, Sivanaarvaembu

    Indigo is a plant is used to obtain natural dye that gives a real, true-blue color.Indigo is used as a dye in hair colour either alone or in combination with the henna powder to colour the hair black.

    Original high class Indigo when used, starts to impart deep green color but after 24 to 48 hours it changes the color and becomes deep blue.

    Dye is obtained from the processing of the plant's leaves. They are soaked in water and fermented in order to convert the glycoside indican naturally present in the plant to the blue dye indigotin. The precipitate from the fermented leaf solution is mixed with a strong base such as lye, pressed into cakes, dried, and powdered. The powder is then mixed with various other substances to produce different shades of blue and purple.

    As a natural hair dye, the green leaves of the indigo plant are dried, crushed and powdered. When used properly with pure henna, indigo dye will create shades ranging from brown to jet black color. It also makes hair soft and silky to the touch.

    Pure henna powder and the crushed leaves of the indigo plant have been used for centuries to make a jet black henna hair dye. Both are currently available for anyone desiring a natural hair dye made in the traditional manner.

    Do you want to find out what is in a box of Henna or “Black henna”?
    Look in the box. If the powder is green, and appears to be ground-up plant leaves, it's probably henna or indigo. If the powder is coffee colored or black, it's probably para-phenylenediamine based hair dye.

    Take a little of the powder, and mix it with water.

    If “Black Henna” powder is a green plant powder and smells like frozen peas, its probably indigo. Mix some of the powder with water. If the surface of that mix turns blue in 20 minutes, it’s indigo! Indigo will not hurt you if you put it on your skin. It won't stain your skin black.

    “Black Henna” mixes with PPD are usually dark brown or black. Sometimes there is some henna in the mix, sometimes not. Some of these mixes don’t have much odor, others have an awful chemical smell. Mix some of that powder with water. In 10 minutes, black dye will drain out of the mix.
