#59 Oriental Black Bigen Permanent Powder - 6 Pack

It worked out really good. My greys were coming in the front around the face. I did do this outside in the yard and used the hose to wash off. I brought my mirror outside and applied the hair coloring carefully. This was to prevent my bathroom from getting stains. I wore an old black shirt and covered with plastic disposable apron all around my body. Rinsed it outside. The color is oriental black and turned out really good.

Very good product a 10 out of 10 I loved it they leave me my eyebrows spectacular it is durable the number I ordered is number 46

For me, this product was a lifesaver; it made things easy and allowed me to avoid applying a harsher product. It is very practical to use: simply wash your hair, towel-dry it to remove excess moisture, and apply. After letting it sit for the time recommended by the manufacturer, just rinse it out, follow up with conditioner, and you’re left with beautifully black hair without any harsh chemical processing.

Very Good! 👍

This Bigen powder hair dye really surprised me. It’s very easy to prepare and apply, and it doesn’t have that strong smell that many other dyes do. It covers gray hair very well and leaves a natural, even color without making the hair feel dry. I also liked how quick and convenient the process is, perfect for doing it at home without any hassle. My hair looks healthy and the color lasts a long time. Definitely a great option if you’re looking for something simple and effective.

My hair used to be the most beautiful dark brown/black color when I was in my 20s. Now in my early 40's the gray hairs have slowly but surely, been reserving their spot in my natural head of hair. Despite them being known as the "Threads of Wisdom", I hate them! I purchased this product in color Oriental Black #59, with the sole purpose of covering my gray hair. It's not even very noticeable to others, as the grays were to me. I hated parting my natural hair down the middle, because the gray strands would show. & Yes, I took the natural, "herbal route" (as others have mentioned in these reviews), I tried it a few times, using the herbal formula Henna + Indigo. But when you are rocking your natural hair/curls, you'll tend to wash, condition, and use oils in it more often, than an individual not wearing their hair in it's natural state. This will result in the Indigo (which turns the hair black-"temporaily") to fade quicker. My grays would be exposed again within a week, of using my hair products and oils in my "Henna +Indigo", treated hair. And nobody wants to keep applying a herbal hair color treatment, to their hair two or three times per month, because it fades so easily after washing or applying hair products, & oils. So, the only sure fire way to cover your grays is to use a permanent hair color/dye, over them. Sorry to say, but its the only way because, I've tried both methods the herbal route, and now this permanent hair color route. This particular hair dye is NOT to be slept on. I've seen it in beauty supply stores, all my life. Never imagined I'd be using it later on in my own life, to cover my grays. It's simple to mix (just add water, according to instructions), contains NO- Ammonia, or Peroxide so it doesn't even smell like chemicals at all. It's a dark color, so its not stripping color from the hair (as lightening hair color does, sometimes leading to breakage), its adding color, so it's less harsh. I was beyond pleased after using this for the first time. This permanent hair color, covered my grays COMPLETELY, effortlessly, even the shorter strands around the edges of my head, and the long strands, within a 20 minute time frame (no burning or irritation at all during application process). And the best part about a permanent hair dye, is that I can apply my hair products, and my hair oils too, without the worry of fading my hair color and "re exposing" my grays. This color is beyond amazing. Of course I'd recommend it to anyone looking to cover stubborn, hard to cover gray hair, like mines was. Just make sure you do the allergy test first. IMPORTANT NOTE: I did the Allergy test on my skin, as directed, prior to first time usage. Always make sure to do the Allergy test prior to any hair color application, no matter what brand it is.

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.

Great product! Good quality, easy to use, and totally worth it. I’m very happy with my purchase.
