If you use indigo after the henna it will give u a black color. Applying the henna first helps the indigo "stick" to the hair.

Definitely an indigo/henna mix. If you ever see a henna that says it makes your hair black and DOESN'T have indigo in it, run as far and as fast as you can away from the 'henna' as well as the person trying to sell it to you - so-called 'black henna' is a bad thing, dangeous, can cause skin burns, doesn't have the helpful properties of henna and is all around

Henna always dyes hair red. That's why it must be mixed with other plants like indigo and/or amla to get darker shades like brown or black.
