Frequently Asked Questions — Bigen Powder Hair Color #59 Oriental Black
What is Bigen Powder Hair Color #59 Oriental Black?
Bigen Powder Hair Color is a permanent, ammonia-free powder hair dye made by Hoyu of Japan and trusted for decades across India, South Asia and the Middle East for covering grey hair at home. Each 6 g sachet is activated with plain water, so there is no separate developer bottle to mix.
Shade #59 Oriental Black is Bigen's deepest, jet-black shade. Vyroma Living sells the same Bigen powder sachets familiar from India and the Gulf, shipped within Canada.
Is #59 Oriental Black the right Bigen shade for me?
Choose #59 Oriental Black if your natural hair is jet black or very dark and you want the strongest, deepest grey coverage. It is the classic choice for black South Asian and East Asian hair.
If jet black looks too harsh or flat on you, #58 Black Brown gives a softer natural black, and #57 Dark Brown suits brown hair. When in doubt, start lighter — permanent dye is easier to darken later than to lighten.
Is Bigen ammonia-free? Does it smell? What's in it?
Yes. Bigen Powder contains no ammonia and no hydrogen peroxide, so it has very little odour compared with typical cream dyes, and many users find it gentler on the scalp.
It is still a permanent oxidative hair dye and contains PPD-type colourants (para-phenylenediamine), which is what gives long-lasting colour. That is why a skin allergy test before every use is essential.
How do I use Bigen Powder Hair Color step by step?
1) Do a skin allergy test 48 hours before every use, following the leaflet. 2) Make sure hair is dry and free of oil, gel or styling products. 3) Empty a sachet into a non-metal bowl, add room-temperature water as directed on the pack and stir into a smooth paste. 4) Wearing gloves, apply immediately to dry hair, starting with grey areas and roots. 5) Leave on for the time shown on the pack, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and a mild shampoo.
Use the mixture right away; it should not be stored for later.
How many sachets do I need, and which pack should I buy?
One 6 g sachet usually covers short hair or a root touch-up. Shoulder-length or thick hair often needs two sachets mixed together.
Vyroma Living offers packs of 1, 2, 4 and 6. Regular users who retouch every few weeks save the most with the 4- or 6-pack, and the sealed single sachets stay fresh until you need them.
How long does the colour last, and does it cover grey hair?
Bigen is a permanent colour designed for grey coverage, so the hair it colours stays coloured. You only need to retouch new grey regrowth at the roots, typically every 3–4 weeks depending on how fast your hair grows. Results depend on your starting colour, how resistant your greys are, and following the pack timing.
Is Bigen safe? Who should not use it, and can men use it?
Bigen is used safely by millions, but it contains PPD, which can cause allergic reactions in some people. Always do the 48-hour patch test, even if you have used it before. Do not use it on eyebrows or eyelashes, on an irritated, sore or broken scalp, or if you have ever reacted to a hair dye or a "black henna" tattoo. Keep it out of reach of children.
Bigen Powder is unisex and widely used by men for grey hair on the head.
Where can I buy Bigen Powder Hair Color in Canada?
