Henna mixed with indigo

When hair is dyed first with henna and then over-dyed with indigo, the hair will be as black as a black cat, even when dyeing over blonde or graying hair. If the indigo fades after many shampoos, and the black color softens, re-dye the hair with henna and indigo to build up the color saturation. Indigo does not condition and strengthen hair, nor does it have the health benefits as henna. Allergies to indigo are very rare, but they do occur. Most sensations of itching after using indigo are related to hay fever, a general mild allergic response to plant particles and pollens.29 Serious allergic reactions to indigo are very rare but they do occur. Some people also dislike the smell of indigo paste. Mixing indigo powder with instant vanilla pudding powder before adding water masks and relieves this smell. Even when well sifted, the texture of indigo powder is not as easy to apply as henna. Half a teaspoon, or 2 grams of CMC powder, carboxymethyl cellulose powder,30 gram added to indigo powder before mixing in water improves the texture of indigo paste
