Bigen semi-permanent hair color offers a fantastic way to switch up your look or enhance your natural color without the long-term commitment of permanent dyes. Whether you’re a first-time dyer or just looking for tips on using Bigen, this guide will walk you through achieving salon-worthy results at home.
Understanding Bigen Semi-Permanent Hair Color
Before we dive into the application, let’s understand what makes Bigen semi-permanent hair color unique. Unlike permanent dyes that penetrate the hair shaft, Bigen semi-permanent color coats the hair strands. This results in a gentler coloring process that gradually fades over several washes, typically lasting 4-6 weeks.
Preparing for Your Bigen Transformation

Gather Your Supplies:
- Bigen Semi-Permanent Hair Color (in your desired shade)
- Gloves
- Old towel (to protect your clothing)
- Petroleum jelly (to protect your hairline)
- Tint brush (for precise application)
- Color mixing bowl (if not provided in the kit)
Perform a Strand Test:
Before applying the color to your entire head, it’s crucial to do a strand test. This will help you gauge the color payoff and how the dye reacts with your hair’s natural texture and porosity.
- Select a small, inconspicuous section of hair.
- Mix a tiny amount of the Bigen color following the instructions provided in the box.
- Apply the mixture to the selected strand and let it sit for the recommended development time.
- Rinse thoroughly and assess the color. This will give you an idea of whether you need to adjust the development time for your desired result.

Step 1: Preparation
- Protect Your Surroundings: Cover your work area with an old towel to prevent staining.
- Protect Your Skin: Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly along your hairline, ears, and the back of your neck. This will create a barrier and prevent staining your skin.
- Wear Gloves: Put on your gloves to protect your hands from the dye.
Step 2: Mixing
- Follow Instructions: Carefully follow the mixing instructions provided in the Bigen box. These can vary slightly depending on the specific product. Typically, you will mix the color cream with a developer.
- Mix Thoroughly: Combine the color and developer in your mixing bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly blended to create a smooth, consistent mixture.
Step 3: Application
- Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into four sections (two at the top, two at the bottom) using clips. This will help you apply the color evenly.
- Start at the Roots: Begin applying the Bigen mixture to your roots, working your way down the hair shaft.
- Use a Tint Brush: A tint brush ensures precise application, especially around the hairline and ears.
- Saturate Evenly: Make sure each section of hair is fully saturated with the color mixture.
Step 4: Processing
- Follow Recommended Time: Once you’ve applied the color to your entire head, let it process for the time indicated on the Bigen box. This is usually around 20-30 minutes, but it can vary.
- Check Regularly: Keep an eye on the color development throughout the processing time. If you’re happy with the color before the recommended time is up, you can rinse it out early.
Step 5: Rinsing
- Rinse Thoroughly: Once the processing time is complete, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
- Condition Your Hair: Apply the conditioner provided in the Bigen kit or a color-safe conditioner. Leave it in for a few minutes, then rinse again.
Maintaining Your Bigen Color

- Use Color-Safe Products: Invest in color-safe shampoos and conditioners to help preserve the vibrancy of your Bigen color.
- Wash Less Frequently: Wash your hair 2-3 times a week, as over-washing can cause the color to fade faster.
- Cold Water Rinse: When you do wash your hair, use cool or lukewarm water, as hot water can strip away color.
- Deep Condition Regularly: Indulge in a deep conditioning treatment once a week to keep your hair hydrated and maintain color vibrancy.
