Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Will the One-Step Indigo Colour work for me?

A: Yes, if you have mild to moderate greying (less than 60%) and want a simple, natural black-brown result without the hassle of two steps.

If you have very resistant greys or over 70% greying, we recommend our Two-Step Indigo System for deeper, longer-lasting results.

Q2. What colour result can I expect?

A: The One-Step system gives soft black to deep brown tones depending on your base hair colour, hair porosity, and how regularly you use it.

It builds depth over time and blends greys naturally — not a “flat black” chemical colour.

Q3. How often should I use it?

A: Typically, every 2–4 weeks. Results vary based on hair porosity, care routine, and how often you shampoo.

Using Krya’s post-colour hair mask and then regularly pre-oiling hair and using Krya hair wash powder helps extend colour life.

Q4. Can men use this product?

A: Yes! Krya’s colours are gender-neutral and safe for all hair types.

Q5. Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

A: Absolutely. Our formula is 100% natural and contains no PPD, ammonia, peroxide, or synthetic fragrance — just real herbs.

Q6. Will this colour stain my skin or bathroom?

A: The paste may temporarily stain skin or towels, so wear gloves and protect your surfaces. Stains can be avoided with careful application and immediate cleaning.

Q7. What’s the difference between One-Step and Two-Step systems?

A:

One-Step -For mild to moderate greying, fast application, gives black-brown tones
Two Step - For high or resistant greying, deeper jet-black tones, takes more time but lasts longer

Q8. Can I use this product on my beard, eyebrows ?

A: We do not recommend using this hair colour on facial hair or sensitive areas like the eyebrows.

Facial skin is much more delicate than the scalp, and even natural herbs like indigo and henna can cause irritation, redness, or dryness when applied too close to the eyes, lips, or nose.

Krya’s colours are formulated specifically for scalp and hair use.
