FAQs

Is Bigen Powder Hair Color permanent?

Yes, Bigen Powder Hair Color provides a permanent hair color solution, meaning the color will not wash out and will last until your hair grows out or is cut.

How long does the Oriental Black color last?

As a permanent hair color, the Oriental Black shade will last until your hair grows out. Its longevity on your hair is dependent on factors like hair growth, washing frequency, and sun exposure, but the color itself is designed to be long-lasting.

Do I need to do a patch test every time I color my hair?

Yes, it is crucial to perform a skin allergy patch test 48 hours before *every* application, even if you have used the product before or other hair color products. Allergic reactions can develop over time.

Can I use Bigen Powder Hair Color on chemically treated or permed hair?

While generally compatible, it is recommended to wait at least two weeks after any chemical treatment (like perming or relaxing) before coloring your hair. Always perform a strand test first to check the color result and hair condition.

How do I mix the powder?

Mix the Bigen powder with plain water in a non-metallic bowl, strictly following the ratio and instructions provided on the product packaging to achieve a smooth, workable paste consistency.

What if I have very long or thick hair?

For very long or thick hair, you may need more than one box of Bigen Powder Hair Color to ensure complete and even saturation. It's better to have too much than too little mixture.

Will this product cover stubborn grey hair?

Yes, Bigen Powder Hair Color is specifically formulated for effective grey hair coverage. For stubborn greys, ensure thorough application and allow the full recommended processing time.

Troubleshooting

Color is not as dark or vibrant as expected.

Ensure you used the correct powder-to-water ratio as specified in the instructions. Inadequate processing time or rinsing too early can also lead to lighter results. Re-apply following instructions carefully, ensuring adequate processing time.

Uneven color or splotchy results.

This often occurs due to uneven application. Make sure the mixture is thoroughly applied to all hair strands, especially covering grey areas uniformly. Sectioning your hair can help ensure even coverage. Also, ensure the hair was clean and free of styling products before application.

Color fades too quickly.

Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive washing with hot water. Prolonged sun exposure and chlorinated water can also accelerate fading. Consider using a leave-in conditioner with UV protection.

Skin irritation or allergic reaction after patch test.

Do NOT proceed with hair coloring. Consult a healthcare professional immediately. Discontinue use of the product if any irritation, redness, or itching occurs during the patch test.

Hair feels dry or brittle after coloring.

Deep condition your hair regularly after coloring. Ensure you rinse all the color out thoroughly after processing. Over-processing (leaving the color on too long) can also contribute to dryness. Use a moisturizing conditioner or hair mask.

Setup & Application Instructions

  1. Perform a Patch Test: Always conduct a skin allergy test 48 hours before each application, even if you have colored your hair before. Mix a small amount of powder with water and apply to a small area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the inner elbow. Observe for any irritation.
  2. Prepare Your Hair: Ensure your hair is clean and dry. Do not wash your hair immediately before coloring if you have a sensitive scalp.
  3. Mixing: In a non-metallic bowl, mix the Bigen powder with plain water according to the instructions on the package. The consistency should be a smooth paste that is easy to apply.
  4. Application: Using a brush, apply the mixture evenly to your hair, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. For grey coverage, focus on areas with the most grey.
  5. Processing Time: Allow the color to process for the duration specified in the product instructions. This is crucial for optimal color development and grey coverage.
  6. Rinsing: Once the processing time is complete, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Follow with a gentle shampoo and conditioner.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: This product is intended for adult use.
  • Gender: It is a unisex product, suitable for all adults regardless of gender.
  • Hair Types: Generally compatible with most hair types. However, always perform a strand test on chemically treated or damaged hair to check color results and hair condition.

Care

  • Post-Color Care: Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners to help maintain the vibrancy and longevity of your Oriental Black hair color.
  • Sun Protection: Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause color to fade.
  • Chemical Treatments: If planning other chemical treatments (perms, relaxers), consult a professional as these can affect your hair color.
