Thank you TatsuOni and BerrySara!
Today after the run I washed my hair with WO and rinsed with diluted vinegar; it was the first wash after the indigo and surprisingly the water was not blue. The hair is still deep black
gothicshollow it came out wonderfully! I'm really impressed that you got the water to rinse clear on the first wash, it took me about a week the first time I henndigo'd!
So I indigoed a day ago and then cowashed it out, but the smell is driving me nuts as it is still lingering. I add methi to both my indigo and henna so I can smell both grass and methi, yuck. I'm going to go ahead and shampoo, but if it takes out some of the indigo can I do another indigo-only treatment a week or two from now? Or would I need to start over?

Daily wash and go, monthly henndigo, annual trimmer
I did my henndigo on Wednesday and overall I'm pretty happy with how it came out. The Nupur 9 Herbs Henna is super conditioning on my hair. I can see why C_Bookworm uses this stuff, my hair feels amazing . I let it sit for about 12 hours overnight before applying then left it on for 4 hours before rinsing. Then I applied the Zenia indigo (with salt this time!) and while it didn't turn my hair void black like the HennaSooq indigo but it's still very dark. There's a slight red undertone to it but it's only my second attempt. I'm expecting a few more applications before my hair is hopefully permablack
Lessons learned this time around: Indigo drips are no joke. I made my mixture too thick the first time and went the exact opposite this round. Plus I think I wrapped the plastic around my ears wrong, which left a gap for the indigo to escape and run down the side of my face in a multi-strike attack over 2 hours and induce a small rage fit lol.
Here's my hair from Thursday, one day post henndigo
It looks beautiful Nox! I highly recommend laying down and watching a movie to avoid the dripping when you have indigo in your hair
