How To Use Bigen Semi-Permanent

Before Application

Read the instructions provided on the back label, pull up the tab on the bottom right hand side for more information. Before each time you color your hair, we highly recommend completing the 48 hour skin allergy test.

1. Make sure to wear suitable gloves. Tip: If the gloves are too loose, use rubber bands to tighten them around your wrists.
2. We recommend removing contact lenses before coloring your hair.
3. Cover your shoulders with a towel or cape that you do not mind getting stained.
4. Be sure your hair is clean and free of any product buildup. For this we recommend washing and drying your hair 24 hours before coloring.
5. To prevent staining on your skin, apply cold cream around your ears, hairline, and the nape of your neck.
6. Keep a damp paper towel close by. This is to help wipe skin if hair color gets on it.

Application

1. Quickly apply the product onto towel-dried hair by using the nozzle to help direct it. Note: if you have partially gray hair, start application at the area with the most gray.
2. As you use your gloved hands to work the product into your hair, make sure not to rub the product into the scalp.
3. Comb through the hair to ensure every hair-strand is thoroughly covered with mixture and is completely and evenly saturated.
4. Process hair as directed below in development section.

Development

Non-chemically treated hair or natural hair:

1. Place a plastic cap over hair.
2. Use a warm dryer to process for 20 - 30 minutes.

What are the differences between Bigen Powder and Bigen Semi-Permanent Color?

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.

Is a patch test necessary before use?

Yes. Conduct a skin allergy test 48 hours before each use: Apply a small amount of product to inside of the elbow. If during 48 hours you don't notice any signs of burning, swelling, redness or irritation, you can use this product.

Hair Colorants can cause allergic reactions which in rare cases can be severe. Do not use if you already had a reaction to a hair color product. If you experience any skin abnormalities during or after coloring, discontinue use and seek medical help.
