Nightshade said it all. I just want to add, that anyone trying to in any way remove indigo, has to be prepared to live with green hair. If not, then just don't attempt it.
Neither of these work, but will dry the hell out of your hair.
Henna binds to the hair via Michael addition, which is an insanely stable chemical bond.
There were several threads over the years dedicated to removing henna, and about the only thing that sometimes worked was ColorFix or ColorB4, but in many cases this just un-oxidized the henna, and then it re-oxidized at a later date.
A lot of the methods you see online (vodka, baking soda, etc.) simply damage the hair enough so the hair loses protein (that you will not get back with a protein treatment, I mean you're damaging the very structure of the hair, and causing it to lose scales), which is what the henna is bonded to, so you lose some henna, too.

I will be using my method in the few months to come and I will share my results here .
I'm really sure that I will not have green hair.
I don't believe in ultimate truths. There's always some exception to a rule.
And I really love when people say " there's no way " .
I just itch to tell them: " yeah? Watch me! "

Take pictures along the way! I've never seen someone get it out without a green hue

Putting it in my signature because I have to say it so often:
Do what works for your hair, not what other people say is "right" or "wrong." If it works for you, it's not wrong. If it doesn't work for you, it's not right.
