CMC powder used with Indigo powder to thicken paste

  CMC Powder – a great addition to indigo hair dye August 30, 2021 Reviewer: Carol from San Diego, CA.   I dye  my graying brown hair every 2 to 3 weeks with a combo of henna and indigo powder to get a dark brown. I weigh the indigo and henna in grams on a scale to get (essentially)  the same results every time. My ratio is about 30 g henna and 25 g indigo. I have long hair. I prefer adding CMC powder to the indigo mix portion before mixing the two together. (Please note I mix henna 6-8 hours ahead of time to let the color develop, as it is slow to develop and the indigo is mixed at the last minute as its color develops quickly) If you’re new to this, you might want to try a premixed kit first, or read about the two so you can understand how they work and how to use them together for best result. (It feels like a science experiment at first).  CMC keeps the indigo mix from separating and running down my neck. So little CMC powder is needed, that it lasts a long time. Well worth purchasing.
