Setup and Preparation

Before You Begin:

  • Ensure your hair is clean and free of styling products.
  • Gather all necessary items: Bigen Permanent Powder Hair Color, non-metallic bowl, measuring cup, brush for application, gloves, old towel, and a timer.
  • Protect your clothing and surrounding surfaces with old towels or newspapers.
  • Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or barrier cream around your hairline, ears, and neck to prevent skin staining.

Operating Instructions (Application)

Step-by-Step Application:

  1. Mix the Powder: Pour the desired amount of Bigen Permanent Powder Hair Color into a non-metallic bowl. For short hair, approximately one-half of the bottle (0.1 oz / 3g) is usually sufficient. For longer hair, use the full bottle (0.21 oz / 6g).
  2. Add Water: Gradually add cool tap water to the powder, mixing thoroughly with a non-metallic brush or stirrer until a smooth, uniform paste is formed. The consistency should be similar to thick yogurt or pancake batter. Avoid making it too watery.
  3. Immediate Application: Apply the mixture immediately to dry hair using the application brush. Start at the roots and work your way down to the ends, ensuring even saturation. For gray coverage, focus on areas with the most gray hair first.
  4. Processing Time: Allow the color to process for 20-30 minutes. For resistant gray hair or darker results, you may extend the processing time slightly, but do not exceed 40 minutes. Refer to the specific instructions on the product packaging for precise timing.
  5. Rinse: Once the processing time is complete, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
  6. Shampoo and Condition: Shampoo your hair with a mild shampoo and follow with a conditioner. Rinse again thoroughly.
  7. Dry and Style: Dry and style your hair as usual.

Maintenance and Aftercare

  • To maintain color vibrancy, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners.
  • Avoid excessive washing and hot water, which can fade hair color.
  • Protect your hair from prolonged sun exposure, which can also cause fading.
  • Reapply Bigen Permanent Powder Hair Color as needed for root touch-ups or full color refresh, typically every 4-6 weeks.
