ETA: I misread.
I've BKT'd henna'd hair before, but there was a couple months time between the two. I didn't have any issues. I just wouldn't do them the same day or very close together. Just make sure to give your hair time to recover from both processes.

I hope you realize that you will need to do a two-step process with the henna to get jet-black results. The first step is henna followed by using indigo to get the desired effect.
I don't know about the BKT but be sure to read up on all the pros and cons. I also would avoid using a non-body art version of henna just to be on the safe side.

Sketch, IMO.
*Some* henna has metallics in it which will react with the chemicals in BKT and equal some serious breakage. If you must do so make sure it is BAQ henna... Still not sure if I would do it. Good luck!

I did it for a year straight
YouTube - How To: Self Apply Brazilian Keratin Treatment (BKT) on 4a Hair
however, I learned what my hair likes first, and my hair likes a lot of protein and strengthening products. I'd advise you to either do a strand test first, wait a while between treatments or learn your hair a little better to see what it likes. Have you done either treatment before?
