"Colouring your hair can transform your look—but it shouldn’t come at the cost of your hair’s health. Most chemical hair dyes contain ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, which can damage your scalp and weaken strands over time."

Here are the 25 most frequently asked questions people have about hair colouring, especially when exploring safe, organic, and natural options.

1. What makes Indus Valley hair colour different from regular hair dyes?

Traditional dyes use chemicals to alter your natural pigment. Indus Valley Damage Free Organic Hair Colour works differently—it colours your hair using botanical and herbal ingredients, keeping your strands strong and scalp irritation-free.

2. What are the main ingredients in Indus Valley hair colour?

We use Henna, Amla, Cassia, Orange Oil, Wheat Germ Oil and Basil, among other herbs. These ingredients are known for their natural colouring and conditioning properties, making our natural hair colour both safe and nourishing.

3. Is it suitable for people with sensitive scalp?

Yes. Our ammonia-free and hydrogen peroxide-free hair dye is gentle on the scalp. The herbal formula is ideal for people prone to itching, redness, or sensitivity from chemical dyes.

4. Will Indus Valley Hair Colour Cover Grey Hair?

Absolutely. Our organic hair colour provides effective grey hair coverage, blending naturally with your existing hair tone for a soft, even finish.

5. Can Natural hair dye lighten my hair colour?

No. Since Indus Valley natural hair dye doesn’t contain bleach or peroxide, it won’t lighten your hair. Instead, it enhances your natural shade and gives it a richer, healthier tone.

6. How long does the Hair colour last?

The colour from our organic hair colour usually lasts up to 28 shampoos, depending on your hair texture and washing frequency. It fades gracefully without leaving brassy undertones.

7. Can I reapply Indus Valley Hair Colour often?

Yes, because it’s a natural hair dye made from herbs, you can safely reapply it every 3–4 weeks to refresh your colour—without worrying about hair damage.

8. Can I use it on chemically treated hair?

Yes. Our organic hair dye helps restore shine and strength to chemically treated or coloured hair, as it’s packed with conditioning herbs that repair damage.

9. How should I prepare my hair before colouring?

Wash your hair 24 hours before applying colour to remove residue. Avoid applying oil or conditioner right before colouring so the natural hair colour can penetrate effectively.

10. Should I do a patch test before using natural hair dye?

Always! Even though organic hair colours are gentle, everyone’s skin reacts differently. Perform a patch test 24 hours before application.

11. Will it dry out my hair?

Not at all. Because Indus Valley colours are enriched with herbal conditioners, your hair feels softer and silkier after colouring—unlike most chemical dyes that strip moisture.

12. Can I mix two Indus Valley shades together?

Yes. You can blend two organic hair colours (for example, soft black and dark brown) to create your own unique tone. This is one of the perks of using a natural hair dye.

13. Is Indus Valley hair colour safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Our natural hair colour is made from herbs and is free from harsh chemicals, making it a safer option. However, we always recommend consulting your doctor first.

14. Will it work on all hair types and textures?

Yes, our organic hair dye is suitable for all hair types—straight, curly, wavy, fine, or coarse. Herbal pigments adapt beautifully to your natural hair structure.

15. How do I pick the right shade for my skin tone?

If you prefer a subtle, natural look, choose a natural hair colour close to your current shade. For a slightly bold change, go one shade darker. Our shade chart can help you decide.

16. What’s the right way to apply Indus Valley hair colour?

Mix the contents as instructed, apply evenly on dry hair, leave for 30–45 minutes, and rinse with water. Avoid using chemical shampoos immediately after applying organic hair dye.

17. How can I make the colour last longer?

Use a sulfate-free, herbal shampoo and cold water when washing your hair. Avoid excessive sun and heat styling, which can fade even the best natural hair dye faster.

18. Will the colour stain my skin or clothes?

Our organic hair colour is less likely to stain, but precautions help—apply petroleum jelly along the hairline and wear gloves during colouring.

19. Can men use Indus Valley hair colour?

Definitely! Our natural hair dye is unisex and perfect for men who want natural-looking grey coverage without chemicals.

No. All our organic hair colours are cruelty-free, vegan, and eco-friendly, ensuring beauty that’s kind to your hair and the planet.

21. Can I switch from a chemical dye to an organic one easily?

Yes. You can transition to natural hair colour anytime. However, if your hair has been heavily bleached, do a strand test to see how the colour takes on your hair.

22. How often should I wash my hair after colouring?

Wait at least 24–48 hours after using any organic hair dye. This allows the herbal pigments to bond properly for deeper colour and longevity.

23. Is organic hair colour as effective as chemical dye?

Yes—while it doesn’t bleach or lighten, Indus Valley organic hair colour gives you rich, natural tones with the added benefit of nourishment and zero damage.
