Bigen Permanent Powder Hair Color 57 Dark Brown

Good product Color lasts past the time my grey grows out and it's time to recolor! Have used this for years. Consistent quality.

I’ve tried so many hair color brands over the years, but Bigen’s toxin-free formula has really stood out to me. What I love most is that it gives rich, vibrant color without the harsh chemicals that usually leave my scalp irritated or my hair feeling dry. The application was smooth, the scent was much lighter compared to traditional dyes, and my hair actually felt soft and conditioned afterward.The color payoff is beautiful and natural-looking—it covered grays evenly and left my hair with a healthy shine that lasted for weeks. I also appreciate that it’s ammonia-free and doesn’t have that overwhelming chemical smell, which made the process so much more pleasant.If you’re looking for a safer alternative that doesn’t compromise on results, I’d definitely recommend Bigen’s toxic-free hair color. It’s gentle, effective, and makes me feel good about what I’m putting on my hair.

I've been using this for five years, so I thought I'd share some observations. I know products work differently on different kinds of hair, so it might be useful for you know that I'm a white woman with fine, straight medium-brown hair that's been processed (body wave), about 75% gray which I try to cover completely.1. Bigen permanent powder doesn't contain peroxide (unlike most drugstore bottled haircolor brands). Why would haircolor contain peroxide, you might ask? Peroxide, in different volumes, lightens your hair slightly and then the drugstore haircolor deposits color on the lightened hair. The peroxide ALSO roughs up the cuticle of your hair, making it more receptive to the color. Bigen permanent powder just deposits color - no lightening or peroxide unless you add it yourself.2. Bigen colors are dark. If you have pale hair (lighter than medium brown), it'll probably darken it more than your natural color. OTOH, if you like deep, powerful colors that stay awhile, this may be your hair product.3. All hair colors contain powerful chemicals and many can be irritating. Everyone is different, and allergies can arise suddenly, even after you've been using something a long time. Follow instructions: do a strand test every time. If you fail to do this and experience a allergic reaction to ANY haircolor, or if you use this to dye things you're instructed not to do (like eyebrows and eyelashes), my heart goes out to you. We've all had these beauty disasters and they totally suck.4. The ends of my hair grab color quickly but my roots are gray and very resistant to color. I've been using Bigen with Wella GrayAway on the roots (along with 10 volume peroxide per the instructions) and have had good experiences getting my roots to grab the color. I let the combination sit for 30 minutes on my roots and then do the rest of my hair for about 10 minutes.5. Bigen permanent powder haircolor is NOT metallic and it DOES NOT contain peroxide, in spite of what some people have said in their reviews.6. As other people have pointed out, Bigen powder isn't a complete kit. Get yourself a ceramic bowl, a hairdresser's color application comb/brush, plastic gloves, disposable shower cap, and wear an old shirt while you apply. Keep towels and bath mats away because this stuff stains. I wash it out in the kitchen sink because the sink allows me to really target my hair and not get residue all over the shower curtain and tub.7. I've used Wella's GrayAway (to increase grab) and RedOut (to eliminate brassy tones) successfully with this color with good results. These additives are inexpensive and easy to find at beauty stores or amazon.7. After you color, don't shampoo, Rinse thoroughly, using the tips of your fingers to make sure you've got all the color out of your hair and off your scalp. Your hair will feel dry and porous. You might want to give your hair a dose of deep conditioner, which you can also work into your scalp.. If you leave too much of the color on your scalp, it may itch the next day.It costs me $80 every six weeks to get my hair colored professionally. Bigen has made it much more convenient and less expensive to do the same thing at home.

I was scared to use this because there were so many scary reviews. So I decided to do the skin test, which I normally don't do. I found this product really easy to use. I had purchased the Soft 'N Style Hair Colorist Tool Kit (8 Piece) from Amazon. This comes with application brushes, pointy combs that divide the hair, clips, a mixing bowl and comb. I am not sure you need all of the bonuses in this kit but it makes all hair dye application awesome. I was at a salon recently and they discussed that all of us gals who use box dyes are ruining our hair because box dyes use far more chemicals to dye your hair then they do in the salon. This is because the salon knows what your hair needs and box dyes assume the worst to dye everyone's hair.Well I don't want to pay salon dollar to color my hair. So I found that bingen has no peroxide or ammonia, no harsh chemicals. It probably isn't the best, but it is better then a lot of others.In the box there are gloves, instructions, a bottle of powdered dye, and a little plastic mixing cup with measurements. I mixed a half of the bottle of powder and filled it up with room temperature water and mixed it. I poured the powder and water into my larger bowl because the little plastic tray they give you doesn't give you much room to mix. I used my brush to apply to my roots and temples and any grey. The dye color was close if not spot on to the dark brown my hair already is. So with the half of bottle I could easily apply to my roots. If you are doing a whole head dye, you may wish to get two packages right away just in case. I left the color on for 15 minutes and then I rinsed it out and conditioned my hair with treseme deep conditioner, which I left on for five minutes and rinsed out.The color was perfect for me. And my hair did not smell like anything but my conditioner. And my goodness was my hair soft. Do the allergy test. Don't leave it in too long. Condition afterward. It worked well for me.

Good gray coverage with low damage

Bigen is the best “at home” hair color. It’s a great natural looking hair color that lasts longer than any other hair dye I’ve used. Easy to use. Permanent coloring without the harshness of ammonia and peroxide.

working well so far.
