FAQs

Is Bigen Hair Color ammonia-free?

Does this product require hydrogen peroxide?

Will this product lighten my hair?

What shade is this product?

This specific product is shade #56, Rich Medium Brown.

How do I mix the powder hair color?

Mix the Bigen powder with cool water in a non-metallic bowl until a smooth, creamy paste is formed, following the proportions on the packaging.

How long should I leave the color on my hair?

Refer to the product packaging for the exact processing time, as it can vary. Do not exceed the recommended duration.

Can I use this on gray hair?

Bigen can color gray hair, but results may vary depending on the porosity and resistance of the gray strands. A strand test is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Color result is too light or uneven

Ensure the mixture was applied evenly to dry hair. Re-check the mixing ratio and processing time. A strand test is recommended before full application to predict results.

Product does not color hair significantly

This product does not have lightening action. If your hair is very dark or black, the color may only provide a subtle tint. For noticeable change on dark hair, a product with lifting capabilities would be needed.

Scalp irritation or allergic reaction

Immediately rinse the product from hair and scalp. Consult a doctor. Always perform the recommended patch test 48 hours prior to application to detect potential sensitivities.

Paste is too thick or too thin

Ensure you are using the correct ratio of powder to water as per instructions. Use cool water, not hot, as hot water can affect consistency.
