I also do it every 8 weeks to cover my greys. Be sure to DC.
I found it toooooo drying to do it every month. I do both Henna and Indigo. I am going to mix Hibiscus with it this time.

I Totally Agree JJ!
Not sure for those who mix it with Conditioners etc for Conditioning.....but for Coloring Properties I think it would be waayyyy too drying for My Hair.
See with the Henna I don't find it as bad as the Indigo because I do mix my Henna sometimes. I will be using only Vatika Oil and Henna This time. Indigo no such luck only water. That is the drying part for me.
You sprinkle some Indigo in the ocean it will just be a crust left. It is sooooooooo Drying but the color is awesome.
How much Vatika Oil do you add to your henna mixture?
Indigo is also very drying for me. It's my first time using it and it been three weeks now and my hair is shedding and breaking. I even clarified this weekend to see if it will help, not much difference so far. I have used Alta Ego garlic deep con, Elista QP moisturizing con, even did coffee rinse. There have been some improvement but the breakage and shedding hasn't stopped. Any tip on how to combat this will be greatly appreciated.
I rinsed the mess out of it. Meaning about 30 minutes of rinsing. Then I use a DC for about an hour. It is still blah after. By the following weeks wash my hair feels better.
Try putting Vatika Oil on the hair for a few hours afterwards.
Don't give up though, it is a method to this madness.
What does the amla do for the henna or the indigo?
frizzy, I use water of course, I meant I don't add any other thing like oil and conditioner. My mix is Henna, Amla and Brahmi, water and lemon juic. I clarified my hair the day before doing the treatment. I also used Indigo only after Henna. The only thing I didn't do was wash the Henna out with conditioner, I used only water. I added salt to my Indigo, don't know if that matters.
