    I never do the two steps. I just put one or two tablespoons of henna into my indigo. I get a deep black even on my light brown roots. With your hair already being red from henna I don't see what could go wrong with just using indigo.

    Nope. Indigo is good to go immediately. It demises in 90 minutes so the sooner you slap it on the better.

    The theory used to be to let it sit 15 minutes for dye release but that has since been proven unnecessary.

    Good luck! I'm sure it will look awesome
