Hi i dyed my hairblack with indigo doing the two step process (henna mixed with grapefruit juice for two hours, then indigo mixed with salt for two hours). And three days later re-indigod for two hours. But last night when i washed my hair (using shea moisture shampoo, sulfate free) and then conditioned it alot of blue came out of my hair like the bathtub water was blue lol. Is it normal for blue to rinse out or doess that mean the indigo didnt take? My hair still looks black but i did notice a reddish hue in the sun.
Also i have hair type 3c so my hair can get really dry i feel that the indigo really dryed out my hair and i have read that indigo doest like oils or deep conditioning but obviously i cant avoid those for long, so how can i maintain and continue using indigo (i plan on using indigo only 1x -2x amonth because my hairs naturaly super dark brown so i wont get any weird green tones) to get the blue black hair color i love and keep my ultra curly hair from drying out?
Oh and i did notice after the second indigo my curls loosend some, is it normal or maybe because i did the second indigo treatment only days after doing henna/indigo.
