Henna is helpful in 2 ways.
1) indigo by itself gives a nasty blue-gray color by itself (at least
on my hair). Indigo over henna gives vibrant browns and blacks,
depends on the mix.
2) Henna conditions your hair wonderfully. Indigo doesn't. If you
use henna first, then indigo, you get gorgeous black, shiny and sleek.
