I use henna and really love the look it gives me--the different hairs absorb the color differently, resulting in a very professional effect. I get my henna from www.mehandi.com, and the website has a ton of information about using henna and indigo. You might want to poke around and see if it gives you any good advice. (Disclaimer: I'm white, so I know there's lots about black hair that I don't know about. That said, the website does have some advice for black hair.)

Good luck!
