To my knowledge, henna and indigo can not easily be used together.This is because the henna's dye molecule releases in an acid
environment, but the indigo's dye molecule releases in an alkaline
environment. So since you can't have both at once, you are only going
to get one or the other.
Someone please correct me if that's not right!

: Hi
: I bought some henna powder that is mixed with Indigo (Indigofera
: tinctoria) to get a darker tone. Does someone know if I can use it
the
: normal way (with lemon juice and clove oil and leaving it 6 hours or
: more on the skin) or if I have to treat it in a special way?
