How to use Bigen Permanent Powder?

Read the instructions provided in the box thoroughly before use. Before each time you color your hair, we highly recommend completing the 48 hour skin allergy test.

  1. Make sure to wear suitable gloves. You can find a set included in the product box. 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!

Getting Ready to Color

  1. Pour Bigen Permanent Powder into a non-metallic or cup. Add room-temperature tap water (DO NOT use hot or boiling water) in the proper measurement specified by the measuring tray found in the box.
  2. Mix gently and well with a brush until the powder has been dissolved and is smooth.

CAUTION: DO NOT mix with other products. The color of the mixture does not indicate the final results.

Application

For full head

  1. Quickly apply the mixture on dry hair. Note: if you have partially gray hair, start application at the area with the most gray.
  2. Comb through the hair to ensure every hair-strand is thoroughly covered with mixture.
  3. Process hair as directed below in development section.

Development

Non-chemically treated hair: 20 - 30 minutes

Chemically treated hair: 15 minutes

Note: Total time of application and development should not exceed 40 minutes to prevent hair color from becoming too dark.

Tip: Check color development several times by wiping a strand of the hair with a cotton ball or paper tissue to adjust your developing time. Once desired color is obtained, proceed to rinsing your hair. Please go to rinse directions for more information.

For re-touch technique

  1. Apply on new growth only. Note: if you have partially gray hair, start re-touch application at the area with the most gray.

    Non-chemically treated hair: 20 - 30 minutes.
    Chemically treated hair: 15 minutes.
  3. If necessary, apply mixture on ends during the last 5-10 minutes of the deposit time.
  4. Rinse hair (please go to rinse directions for more information).

Rinse
