I've been using a henna & indigo mix ... haven't worked out all my "final mix" details,
but I'm leaning towards 1/3 henna and 2/3 indigo -- prepped separately (henna
overnight for dye release, indigo with hot water in the last hour for it's dye release,
then mixed and applied together)

The color I'm achieving (after a few without indigo when I started) is a dark auburn.
On my roots it's a little more like a medium reddish-ash brown (I do have a lot of
gray, so I can see what the "new color" is as opposed to on the ends where it's the
building up of many layers) ...

Anyway, there is always going to be some red tones when you're using henna, but
using the henna and indigo you can achieve a nice cooler, less bright dark brown-
auburn.
