Indigo and henna equals some shade of brown to black. The
proportions I can't tell you, honestly, since I don't use indigo
myself, and they are probably unqiue to your hair. A place to start
is equal parts henna and indigo mixed. People who get black usually
do their indigo as a second step after the henna, from what I
understand. There might be a bit of help in the mixes section, and
I'm sorry I'm not more enlightening.
