if you use only indigo on white hair, the result is blue hair. I tried it out once on a
bleached strand out of curiosity, and it turned out sky blue. if you use henna + indigo
right away, without using pure henna first, that should work just fine. if the
proportion of indigo is too large, it will turn a dark grey though, with a blue/green
cast (tried that too).
