How To Use Henna And Indigo To Color Your Hair Black?

When it comes to dyeing your hair with henna and indigo, it’s a two-step process. You can’t simply mix the two together as that will give you brown or auburn locks. To get gorgeous black tresses, you need to first treat your hair with henna and then go in with the indigo. Confused? Well, then let me break it down step-by-step for you.
