Indigo dyeing with plants is an ancient craft that has appeared all over the world very early. The blue dye hair in China originated in Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan. Various local ethnic groups will dye their clothes with indigo dyeing. The reason is also because the local altitude and environment are very suitable for the growth of various blue leaves, such as Polygonum and Isatis. Plants containing indigo can not only be used for dyeing, but the roots and leaves have been used as medicine in ancient times. According to legend, they have anti-inflammatory effects.

It should be noted that the blue dye material package contains three substances, one is blue clay, the other is reducing agent, and the third is caustic soda (caustic soda is the main raw material for making soap, which is very corrosive. Please do not touch or dissolve it. The alkalinity will be weakened after water, but please also wear our provided gloves for work). Indigo dyeing is a complex reduction and oxidation reaction. The traditional method requires a week to produce indigo dyes under certain weather conditions. Our method only takes a few minutes to complete.
