Long lasting, with controlled and predictable results
No harsh odors
Gives hair a smooth, rich and natural look
The purpose of Bigen Powder is fourfold: to darken hair, to match or enhance your natural hair color, to permanently and easily cover gray and 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.
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.
Both products are deposit-only hair colors. However, Bigen’s Permanent Powder Hair Color lasts much longer than the other due to differences in coloring mechanism.
Bigen Permanent Powder is an oxidative dye that deposits color your hair to last at least 20 shampoos. It contains a low level of peroxide to become activated when mixed with water, to ensure that the colorants penetrate the hair without lifting (lightening) away your natural pigments to remain gentle to the hair. Since it will cover both outside of the cuticle as well as bit into the cortex, the product lasts as long as most permanent hair dye products, but with much less damage to the hair.
Semi-Permanent Hair Colors, including Bigen’s, is even less invasive. They usually don’t contain any peroxide, and simply coat the hair. The benefit of this type of product is that it doesn't add more damage to the hair, and can be used over relaxed or bleached hair, even on the same day. The trade-off compared to the Bigen Permanent Powder, is that it will wash off with each shampoo. While specific counts may vary per shade and condition of hair, on average it will maintain colors for about 8 shampoos.
Yes. All permanent hair colors, including Bigen Powder, require a preliminary skin allergy test 48 hours before each use, even if you have been coloring for years without problem.
Your body constitution and condition change every day. Allergic reactions can occur depending on the constitution of the day of use.

Lighteners
If you wish to achieve a hair color which is lighter and more vibrant than your current hair color, the only way to do this is to pre-lighten your hair. Some products, such Easy Color for Women -- Bold products, have lightening ingredients. Others, such as Bigen Semi Permanent Vivid Shades, do not. These require a separate lightening product applied first to ensure desired results in many cases.
Bigen Powder Lightener never provides any deposit to the hair, and therefore cannot be used to cover grays.
Bigen Powder Lightener and 20 vol Developer comes in two different size options. To see how much you need for your hair, according to size, please see below!
Individual Size: 1 oz Lightener Packet & 4 oz Developer
Short Hair: 1 packet of Bigen Powder Lightener + ½ bottle of 20V Bigen Cream Developer
Shoulder Length Hair: 2 packets of Bigen Powder Lightener + 1 bottle of 20V Bigen Cream Developer

No. We do not recommend shampooing right before using Bigen’s Powder Lightener and Cream Developer. Natural oils from your scalp will act as a barrier of protection. It is best not to overstimulate your scalp prior to Lightening.
However, if you have a lot of build-up and/or residue, it’s best to shampoo at least 24 hours before application. This helps your scalp recover fully from any sensitivity that may have occurred from shampooing.
Do not use if treated with relaxer or straightener
Use only Bigen Cream Developer.
Yes. There is no alcohol in present in Bigen’s Powder Lightener nor Cream Developer. In common speech, the word alcohol refers specifically to “ethanol”. An ingredient “Cetearyl Alcohol” in Bigen’s Cream Developer is not an “ethanol”. It is totally different and has no absorbent effect, and is used as an oil ingredient.
