: hi again. more than likely, the chemically dyed parts will come

Hi I kind of have the same problem with the different colors on the
processed hair, only I hennaed over bleached hair with almost 2
inches of dark roots, now I have orangy red hair (but I like the
color) with 2" of dark roots. I wondered if I could mix the indigo
and henna to help even out the color, or will the indigo make my
bleacned hair greenish? I would apreciate any input.
Thanks, Valerie
