Write a review about the Bigen Permanent Powder Hair Color



Product Rating: 5 Wonderful
Reviewer: Black-haired Woman from NY  Fri Sep 01 2006

This stuff is amazingly easy to use and it actually dyes my hair although there's no ammonia or peroxide. I use the oriental black and it stays permanant. I have used boxed hair dyes before and most of them washed out. This one's cheaper and definately stays. I do get very noticeable roots after about three months (about an inch or inch and a half), however my hair is very dark brown so only I really notice them.

Reviewer: M. Reynolds from South Carolina  Thu Aug 24 2006

It was so easy to use. Just mix with water and spread it on. No drips, no odor and best of all great coverage on the grey hair. I love color #47.

Product Rating: 5 Bigen Haircolour
Reviewer: Joyce from Holland  Mon Jul 31 2006

I had many allergic reaction with all standard haircolouring products. A haircare specialist told me that Bigen was my only option. Reluctantly I tried it out. First skintests in several places and that gave no adverse reactions after 4 days. I could now use it safely.
I honestly haven't looked back and I am so pleased with the results it gave me. Over the moon are the words I am looking for.
It gave my hair a shine, left it in good condition and coloured it from root to tip and my hair is long, long.
It is now more than 4 weeks ago and my hair still looks radiant! Yes I am a satisfied customer and very happy that there is a hair colour I can use.

Product Rating: 1 Chestnut Brown comes out Black
Reviewer: JJ   Thu Jul 27 2006

I went to a stylist who used the chestnut brown on my hair which was already dark brown with golden highlights. The product looked black going on and she kept telling me it would come out light but of course it didn't. My hair is now jet black and my wonderful highlights are gone. The black is very vibrant and rich but I had my hair black previously and wanted a lighter brown to bronze for summer. Very disappointed! Beware - if you want dark hair you will likely be very pleased, but the lighter shade of this product does not work and I'm not sure if I can safely get my fine hair back to to color I intended it to be. Suggest you do a stand test first just to be safe.

Product Rating: 5 Best and cheapest dye
Reviewer: Lenny from Chicago, IL  Thu Jul 20 2006

I have been dying my hair black with Bigen Oriental black for fifteen years now and it works great. The colour is intense and lasts much longer than any dye the hairdresser ever used, my fine hair looks incredibly shiny and silky and you can use as much as you need from each bottle (so you don't pay for an entire bottle if you need less). You just have to be careful about spilling while applying because everything it touches (sinks, skin, clothing etc..) turns very black. I am really happy I found out I can buy it on the internet !

Product Rating: 5 For Most People with Fine Hair It's a Godsend
Reviewer: John   Sun Jun 25 2006

In my country ever since i was a child i've seen this bigen brand and never gave it the same interest i had with the other expensive hairdyes we see in the parlors and tv.

Hovever even using the most expensive hairdyes i always felt a stinging sensation in my scalp even when i went to the best (and really expensive) salons in my country.
Asides from that the popular hairdyes (l'oreal etc)
always tended to damage my already fine hair a month after application. My excesively fine hair becomes brittle and dry even with conditioners and hotoil treatments. Worst i always had hair fall out and thinning also each time i dyed my hair so i decided to give up coloring my hair.
Until Bigen.
I only discovered a few months ago that Bigen was not only very cheap it was perfect for my fine hair and sensitive scalp!
It leaves my hair exactly the same before i dyed with Bigen meaning it doesnt make my hair strands thinner or make any of my fine hair fall out or even brittle.
There was no bad smell as it is ammonia free.
Im overjoyed and regret that i should have know about bigen's positive aspects earlier since i've always been aware of it, it's just that i never took it seriously because of it's unimposing packaging and really cheap price.
Easy to use (just dont use too much water use the cup in the box)
I did it myself and covered myself no more salons!
My hair is looking great not dull,dry or damaged and my scalp is healthier.
I only color every 3 months when the new white growth begins to show.
The already colored hair doesnt lose color at all.
Now i know better.
Cheap doesnt always mean bad
and Expensive doesnt always mean the best.

Bigen has done a lot to revitalize my image and self esteem without destroying my fine hair or making my scalp itchy.



Product Rating: 5 I love the oriental black
Reviewer: Jennifer from Bargo Australia  Mon Jun 12 2006

I have been using bigen oriental black hair colour now for the past year, i love dark hair and the intensity of the colour is fantastic, whats even better is it doesn't sting my scalp because it's ammonia free, you must try this colour if you can!!

Product Rating: 5 Works well with extensions
Reviewer: Kavodel from Atlanta, Georgia  Mon May 22 2006

I needed a black to match the color of my extensions, and this product worked well on my hair and matched perfectly. I didn't have any weird reactions either!!!

Product Rating: 1 anaphylaxis after using Bigen
Reviewer: Vasantha from Australia  Fri Apr 21 2006

I had a severe life threatening anaphylactic reaction to Bigen. After using I felt severly ill and fortunately my family were at home. They rang the ambulance and medical intensive care ambulance was sent. I was stabalised and taken to the Emergency department at the nearby hospital.
The product carries no waring or the ingredients in it.
Users please be carefull.

Product Rating: 5 Best Ever!!!
Reviewer: Marina from California, USA  Mon Mar 06 2006

I have used the dark brown color since my natural hair was dark. At the age of 14 I started to turn white and by now age 50 I am totally white. For 25 years I have tried All possible colors on the market which damaged my hair and never covered the roots fully while the ends of my hair turned blacker and blacker each time. Finally I went blond and looked like an old woman because the blond washed out soon and left my hair totally dried out....
I tried Bigen and have used it 4 times now as my hair grew out.
It is the Best Ever! It fully covers the roots from the first time used, doesn't change the rest of the already dyed hair and the top hair now feels and looks sooo real! I feel like 14 years old when my hair used to be this color!!!
For longer hair you might want to use 2 bottles but you don't have to use 2 again because it doesn't wash out like chemical hair colors. Oh, and it doesn't dripp or run down your neck!!!
As said - The Best Ever!!!!

Product Rating: 5 The Perfect Hair Dye
Reviewer: cathy from seattle  Thu Jan 12 2006

Finally, a coloring system that lets you use as little or as much of the mixture as it is needed...it doesn't stink, didn't burn or sting, and honey, let me tell you, it covered up my mousies and greys wonderfully...tastes good, too....just kidding...

Product Rating: 5 So convenient
Reviewer: SM from Alameda, CA  Thu Nov 10 2005

I love the fact that you can mix just the right amount of haircolor. I use this on my naturally invisible eyebrows (shh, don't tell) because I can mix the dye thick enough not to drip into my eyes. Thanks for stocking this product. I ordered a year's supply, since it can't go bad (powder).

Product Rating: 5 The best thing is....
Reviewer: Larisa from Los Angeles  Thu Nov 03 2005

It DOES NOT fade! I've had it in for 2 months now, and I only need to touch up the roots (blonde). It's a lot less damaging because you don't need to dye your hair as often. It's not even that messy, just brush it on. Warning though, if you have thick hair, or long hair, you may need 3 boxes.

Product Rating: 5 The best I've ever used.
Reviewer: Barbara F. Valdes from Tobyhanna, PA  Thu Nov 03 2005

Having an allergic-type skin, I've had to be careful about hair products. However, I've used Bigen several times, and am now a solid fan. My hair looks good, and it covers this mean gray very well. I have recommended it my family and friends. Please don't change your formula.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent product
Reviewer: Justine from Miami, Florida  Tue Oct 18 2005

This is by far the best ammonia less hair color treatment.
It is very easy to use as well.

Product Rating: 5 Excellet
Reviewer: Rita from Canada and soon Egypt  Sat Sep 24 2005

Excellent product I recomended, it's covered grey hair and not damage the hair and my hair always look pretty.

Also it is a healtier product for your hair.

Product Rating: 5 Rich, Warm Color
Reviewer: Margaret L Wilson from Charlotte NC  Thu Sep 01 2005

This was such a surprise! It was very easy to use, the smell was great, and the gray is covered beautifully!You can use as much or as little as you want. Color a stubborn patch or a whole head.
I'm sold for life!!!

Product Rating: 5 Awesome gray coverage!!
Reviewer: Gina from Wisconsin  Sun Aug 14 2005

It really covers grays, smell is pleasant and lasts and lasts...and no chemicals...what more could you ask...reasonable price...I really prefer Bigen hair color and I have tried them all!!!!!
