I am thinking of moving away from the Lush now, I am a little fed up with the cocoa butter, it just sticks to my hair like yuck!
Does anyone have any idea of approximately how much indigo to henna Lush would use? I would just like to have a guideline as I know now the colour the Lush will give me.
50% indigo and 50 % henna? or 25% indigo and 75% henna?

For dark brown the ration is usually 25% henna-75% indigo. More recipes and information here: Expressions with Henna- Coloring Hair Naturally (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/vbjournal.php?do=article&articleid=7). Good luck! :D

i think that caca brun must have a lot of indigo in it, maybe more than 50% because on my blonde hair the result is very ashy even greenish

Brun is very close to my natural hair color. From what I've seen on strand tests when I switched to henna/indigo mixture, a 50/50 ratio approximates it most closely.
