I'm not certain whether that assertion that indigo, as is used in
hair, actually is damaging, nor how much alkaline ash is there. There
are so many variants of what is sold ...

It is true that henna, pure henna, will make hair very silky becuase
henna's dye molecule binds with the keratin and strengthens it.

It seems to be true that alternating henna and indigo seems to get
the blackest silkiest hair.
