Henna and Indigo powder for dying hair

Post new topic

Shivon

Hi,
I've been looking around in Hanoi for a hairdresser who uses natural powders to dye hair or to buy some henna and indigo powder to dye myself but can't seem to find any.
Does anyone know if there are any of these in Hanoi?
Thank you !

I don't know any brick-and-mortar shop in Ha Noi, but I believe there are several merchants in Saigon from whom you can order and they would ship.  I brought enough henna from the US to last me at least a year, and since the waiting time is up to 4 hours after each processing, I've always had my hair done at home.

Just an update. I have found henna and indigo powder in Hanoi. The brand is OGATIC, it's extremely expensive but when one is desperate...
I have tested, quality of both henna and indigo is excellent.
It's a young startup that retails it, they dont even have an address yet as the building they are in is still unfinished. The area is Thanh Xuan and they can be contacted on their hotline 0163 978 3783. Only vietnamese speaking though.

How expensive, can you share?   The packets I brought from the States are 4 oz (113 gr) and cost $9.50 each.  Same company, same products, 50 cents more in Singapore (I'm thinking of replenish my stash when we're there in Dec.)
