Thank so much you everyone!
I usually don't have any problems getting the roots black, it was just the last time that I dyed them, that the indigo for some reason faded Hopefully it will continue to only be that one time
It looks lovely and shiny

My finals thoughts on the Zenia Indigo after my 4th application of it today.
It's decent for the price, but definitely not the best.
My first experience with indigo was from HennaSooq. Holy bananas that stuff stained everything in sight blue. In comparison, Zenia doesn't stain to nearly that same level. This means it's forgiving to work with since I don't have to fear it giving blue cast to everything for 2 week straight but the result on my hair reflects that. It gets my hair mostly black but there's usually a slightly warm undertone present. I haven't been able to get that same level of super heat death of the universe void black I'm aiming for. Texture is alright, the last bag I used seemed a bit on the gritty side when I washed everything out. Granted, indigo isn't known for being pleasant to work with on its own. Overall, I was never disappointed nor was I ever impressed. None of the bags were close to being expired so that was a non-issue.
It's not a bad buy but I think I'll be looking elsewhere for indigo from here on out. I'm trying to achieve the absolute blackest hair possible and I don't think this will ever get me beyond a darkish, warm black. For people wanting to use indigo but not end up pitch black on accident, this might be a good choice.

I'm curious, what's the effect on indigo on your hair's texture and condition?
For example, I know henna can make the hair slightly more relaxed, more shiny, and less frizzy.
Does indigo do the same?

Hendigo ruined my hair. Totally.
I have never used straight indigo. But I have used straight henna and I suspect it wasn't that bad on it's own...

Yes to shine. It also leaves hair very soft. I'm someone that prefers to put the absolute minimum of product in my hair, so I appreciate the help indigo gives.
I'm not sure if my wave/slight curls have relaxed because they already were very responsive to things like silicones, how my hair dries, etc. They mostly look the same to me.

Interesting, thanks for the input guys!
I'm not seriously considering it, I was mainly curious.
I've done both henna and hendigo before, but I've only done hendigo twice, and to be honest, I didn't remember if it had any effect on the hair (apart from colour, of course).

I was going to touch up my roots today. I did henna them and when I was about to mix up the indigo, I discovered that I was almost out of indigo. So I ended up with a liquid made from a bit of indigo, lots of water and xantan gum. I ended up drenching my entire hair with it, because it was so runny. I ended up with brown-red roots. Oh well, I just have to order some indigo and do it again at some point when I feel like it
