You can certainly indigo again at this time, and the result will
definitely be darker for you, depending on the color that you've
achieved up to this point. I have 80% gray hair, but like to have
dark brown, which was my original color, plus I'm only 30 and just
want to stay with the color I had. With all the gray, I find that
this works best for me: 1st application of pure henna, 1st
application of pure indigo, 2nd application of pure henna, 2nd
application of pure indigo (I have both waited between applications
and not waited, and it doesn't really seem to matter). Yes, four
applications in total...but the color I get in the end is a rich
dark brown--which is neither reddish, nor an exaggerated black. As
far ass using left over indigo, I've never done it, but it's
probably worth a try, and I bet that it would stain at least
somewhat.

Good luck!
