The purpose of Bigen Powder is fourfold: (1) to darken hair (2) to match or enhance your natural hair color, (3) to permanently and easily cover gray and (4) to restore hair color that has been faded either by sun, chlorine, sea water or chemical processing.
Bigen Powder is a leading powdered permanent hair color that does not contain ammonia nor metallic ingredients in its formula, and does not require hydrogen peroxide for processing.
Bigen Powder is designed for those who desire dark, rich healthy looking hair and cover gray.
Yes. Bigen Powder will gently cover gray without drastic changes in your natural color.
Yes, of course. However, if you have previously colored your hair with henna or a color-restorer, you need to wait until your hair has grown out, until these colors fade completely out of your hair, or until your color-treated hair has been cut. Otherwise, the desired results may not be obtained.
Bigen Powder and semi-permanent colors are crucially different with regard to lasting color. Bigen Powder lasts about 4 to 6 weeks, while semi-permanent colors last about 2 to 3 weeks, washing out gradually.
Answers / About Usage
Do I have to do a skin test before application every time I color my hair? Go Back to the Top
All permanent hair colors, including Bigen Powder Powder, require a preliminary skin test before each use. Your body constitution and condition
change every day. Allergic reactions can occur depending on the constitution of the day of use. Please make sure that you do the
skin test before each use, even if you have been coloring for years without any problems.
You should carry out the skin test 48 hours before application to see if you are allergic to hair color product, every time you color your hair with permanent hair color product. If you notice any signs of burning, swelling, redness or irritation on your skin during these 48 hours, do not use the product.
Bigen Powder is only recommended to darken hair, covering gray and enhance levels 1 through 4 (Black, Dark Brown, Medium Brown and Light Brown).
Always choose the shade that is closest to your own natural color (or 1 to 2 shades lighter) for best results.
With an entire bottle of Bigen Powder and the proper measurement of water (Fill to the "FULL" line of the measuring tray), you can make 2.3 fl oz. of mixture. This amount is good enough to cover from short hair to shoulder-long hair. You may need 2 boxes if you have long hair.
No. Bigen Powder should be applied only on dry hair. Excessive moisture may increase the risk of dripping, which might get into your eyes. To avoid contact with eyes, do not apply color mixture to wet hair.
Yes. As Bigen Powder is a non-ammonia formula that does not require the use of hydrogen-peroxide, it gently deposits color, and can be used even on chemically treated hair if the hair is medium to coarse. We suggest waiting 1 to 2 weeks between chemical treatments for minimum hair damage.
