Getting jet black / blue black hair
Hi everyone!
I was born with jet black hair that started getting lighter over the years but I still want to achieve the black I had in my childhood because it’s the color I like the most and I feel the prettiest in.
Over the years (starting from january 2022) I have done permanent black dye in the salon about 3-4 times a year, I also tried box dyes in 2024 (I was living in Korea at the time so I used their blue black bubble hair dyes a lot).
By the end of 2024 and throughout 2025 I was using indigo by itself to try to achieve that jet black hair I wanted but it never seemed black enough for me.
I have been using semi-permanent blue black dye ever since, but it’s extremely drying to my ends and makes my hair very tangled.
I want to switch back to the natural way, but I’m wondering if there is a specific recipe to achieve the black color I want. Is indigo truly enough?
Any help would be appreciated!
