Acheiving uniform color with Henna/Indigo over chemically treated hair

Hello Everyone,

I have hennaed 2 times now and I love the way it makes my hair feel
and look but I have a problem. My natural hair color is dark brown
and I have grown out roots of about 1 1/2 inches from scalp. I used
to chemically dye my hair a light brown.

Eventhough I have used henna/indigo 2 times I cannot seem to get my
roots to take any color. So what happens is that most of my hair
takes the dye but the 1 1/2 inches remains the same dark brown.

What can I do? I don't want to stop using Henna/Indigo because I
love what it does to my hair but I want my whole head to be just one
color. I have been using Yemen Henna from Catherine.

If anyone can give me some advice I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for your help.
