When you add indigo, do it when the henna is primo and you're good
to go (within one half hour of when you are ready to glop on)...I
really like the bit of indigo in my mix, as it tones down and
enriches the deeper red bits. I have been, the last few goes, using
about 1 part indigo to 3 or 4 parts henna mix. I think my hair is
mostly grey now and the indigo keeps the bozo factor at bay.
