Will more henna cover the green from indigo?

In May, I used body grade henna but freaked out after I washed it
(too orange). I couldn't wait for the oxidation period, and I
bought some henna mixed with indigo to help cool it down. The
result was a very dark brown with a slight green tint. Over the
next month the green "faded".

Fast forward to August --- I thought I'd try some hilights as
another poster had success with them. Results: gorgeous blonde
streaks with green midway down (presumably from that darned indigo)
on quite a few of the streaks. Well, it has been almost a month and
I really want to get rid of the green.

Question: how to get rid of that darned indigo green?
Question: will hennaing over the whole mess cover the green? (using
body grade, of course). I tried a little on the beautiful
blond/green streak on my forehead --- now it is bright orange with
green ends, but I left it in only 2 hours and didn't "turp" it.

Thanks!
