I am pretty bummed I have to say. This was highly recommended and I feel a little sad. My scalp is hot and my bangs (the only place with gray) are totally black even though I used dark brown. Now my bangs are black and my hair is brown. I wasn’t going for two toned. :( On the flip side the texture is nice.
my story

about a year ago i started losing hair in patches, the doctors couldnt figure out why, and I had to get shots in my head that didnt work anyway. After a while I figured out that using harsh hair color was making my hair come out. Everytime I covered my gray there would be another huge patch gone. So I would go months without coloring my hair, and what a mess, but eventually I would have to color again and yep out with another patch.. Well I started looking for something to color with that didnt have harsh chemicals. I found the Bigen and bought it. I waited until my roots were grossly long because I was so nervous about coloring my hair again. I did a patch test on the side of my head and waited a few days, it worked great. So I colored all my roots. Ive only used it once but no hair has fallen out and I love the color, even in the places where I am missing hair there are little baby hairs growing back now. I know everyone is different and some people react to things differently than others, but if you are having the same problem I have been having, give this product a try. I really like it so far and will continue to use it. I just am not ready to go gray yet and I think this product is going to be my answer. I am about 80% gray but with Bigen I am 100% chocolate brown.. Im crossing my fingures and hoping that I get the same results everytime I use this..
Amazing

A friend recommended this product, and my mom bought a bottle of it from Trinidad, I love it. I've used hair dyes before that contained bleach, they it damaged my hair BADLY. With the other dye, any part that was colored fell out after a week. I've had Bigen in my hair for a week, and so far, its amazing. My hairs texture hasnt changed, it doesnt smell chemcially, and my hair still looks so healthy. (I used Oriental Black).
if I could give it more stars I would!!! ***************

I love this hair dye! I tried high lights and even a rinse dye and they all disappointed me. I am african american and I dyed my hair oriental black with this product...I couldnt love it more. But I do suggest to get Wen hair care products after to keep the vibrant color and the best look!

I thought I was going to look amazing!Little did I know,it would be the worst thing I have ever done.I dyed my hair monday morning with (Bigen permanent powder hair color oriental black).Monday night my head was itching so bad I had to put some benadryl cream on my scalp!After a hot night of tossing and turning!Tuesday morning I awoke with one side of my face disfigured,itching around the back of my neck,and around the front of scalp also,head still itching.Wednesday Morning I had to call my doctor.I will tell anyone do not use this junk,sure the price is it will make your hair beautiful,but you will have hell to pay for that price.
good but processes fast
Reviewer:

This color is amazing! The only problem is that it was almost done processing before I finished applying. I barely had enough but covered my whole head successfully. The back looks a tad bit lighter but isn't that bad. I was worried when I got some on the counter But it came right off with a bleach wipe. I don't suggest leaving it on for 30 minutes unless you are gray because otherwise it will be really dark. I was done in 15 minutes with black brown applied to orange bleached hair.
great results

Today is the first time my hairdresser tries this product in my hair. My hair is black but the sun is turning my ends brown so i decided that i would like my hair to go jet black to get rid of the brown ends. And it works, its shiny and soft, I haven't suffer from any allergic reaction to it. But i will keep a eye on that. People do a test first before putting this product in your hair, make sure u do a test every time to make sure that nothing happen, because the first time it might not cause any damage but something can happen on the second try....Anyway its a good product

Especially for grays
Reviewer:

I've got those coarse grays right in the front of my head. I don't even have to try... I get a little on those grays and the color doesn't fade.
I have a friend who says that her hair was steadily thinning, she is always scratching dye out of her hair and that the color does not stay. We found out that she was applying the product improperly. Here are some tips if you need help.
- BIGEN is strong, but all permanent dyes are. You must apply it as directed.
- If you use product in your hair, you need to pre shampoo (please do not claw through your head) . Bigen takes no time to asorb into the hairshaft once the cuticle is open.
- Mix BIGEN until it is the consistency of wet toothpaste. Not too wet. And wait until it starts getting dark before applying.
- Rinse until the water streaming from your hair is clear. I suggest that you put your head under the tub faucet so that you can see the water streaming from your hair.
- Only apply to the roots or new growth. You shouldn't need to do the entire head each time you color.
Some of these tips seem pretty obvious... I hope it helps anyway.
BIGEN is Awesome!

The first time I used this product I couldn't tell if it was in fact the cause of my allergic reaction. Uncontrollable itching all over my body. I had to go to the doctor and get an emergency steroid shot. I just recently used this product again and was amazed of the amount of stress and problems it has caused me. As I read some of the comments I to can relate with many of the side effects. For example, swollen face and eyes alomost shut, uncontrollable itching scalp that when scratch would just ooze and drain, eyes blood shot like the pink eye. I can't believe that there are others out there who have experienced these symptoms. I had to get another shot to help ease the discomfort. I'm writing this to send a word do CAUTION!! to those who are using this product.
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!

I only used a tad bit of this product around my thinning hairline. I did this to make the thin hair there appear darker thus making my hairline seem fuller. This was just over 24hrs ago and now I have a NASTY Fluid filled swollen rash all around my hairline! I'm so scared that this is going to get worse. DO NOT use this product!
Sudden Severe Allergic Reaction

After using this product for many years, I developed a severe allergic reaction to Bigen. Right after I applied it to my head, I turned bright red all over, developed a pounding headache and my blood pressure went way up. My air passages shut down and I couldn't breathe. After being rushed to the ER, I was put on oxygen and given medication through an IV. I was told that I had an anaphylactic reaction to the product.

Do not perm your hair if you have this product!!!
Reviewer:

I found out this product has some harsh chemicals and is really a henna type color. My perm did not take and my hair in bad shape with relaxed uneven want-a-be curls after getting a spiral perm. This product makes sure you have very little elasticity in your your hair. Buyer Beware! I wish I knew this befor eand not have to wait until my hair out growns this product.

I used # 96 Deep Burgundy and wow I wished I was born blond or have a full grey of hair in order to make the purple pop out, but I still love my hair. It has purple highlights due to some light grey hair here and there. The natural dark brown turned a dark purple color. I especially love the texture. My hair never felt so manageable since I was a little girl. Best of all no more bundle of hair in the drain. Other dyes would make my hair sticky or worse fall off, but not Bigen. I highly recommend this product. I just wish they would have specials and lower the price (five bucks is too much for a tiny bottle of powder, you can get two boxes of another dye with that same price). Other than price everything else is awesome.
