If you want a DARK brown, it might be better to do a two step -- it seems to me that
perhaps neither color as *deeply* when mixed. That being said, however, I mix mine.
LOL! It is easier for me to mix it, and I have enough gray at the roots that I feel it's
advantageous to have it not quite as dark as it might otherwise be at the roots - that
way there's less of a distinct LINE as it grows out. So I would say that my gray roots
cover with a medium ash-brown with red highlights ... the rest of my hair looks
darker (dark auburn) because it's been hennaed and henna/indigoed more, and my
original color was dark brown.

You could try it both ways and see if you get results you're pleased with in one step.
I've been pleased with mine.

I do what you said, mix them separate, the henna the night before, the indigo with
hot water the next day, and then mix when both have a dye release.
