## Description

No damaging ammonia or peroxide

Review: Gentle and scent free - This is a great product! Lasts a long time and is not as toxic smelling as other brands. It’s easy to use, too! You can mix up as little as you need for touch ups or full on. My only issue is that the wrong color keeps getting sent, so had to return the ones that were too dark and completely the wrong number.
Review: Very good, especially for people that have allergies with other hair products - Good product and I didn’t experience any allergy as it has been with other hair color products. I would prefer it to be less thick so it can be easier to manage.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone tried to mix two different colors - dark brown and light brown for example?  any comments are welcome.**
A: Hi Kristine. I never mixed 2 different colors because I have short hair and that would give me way too much dye to treat my hair. You might want to look for a "middle color" between dark and light Brown. Like number 47 or 46 as an example. I use 48 and it's pretty dark.

**Q: How many boxes will I need for long thick hair?**
A: This is the only hair dye I use. I have a lot of gray and it covers my gray very very well. This hair dye actually makes me look 15 years younger. Seriously. I’m 46 and still get carded for alcohol. I use 2 boxes because my hair is thick and because of the amount of gray I have. The amount of coverage for the 2 boxes is based on 1” of new growth. I hope this helps you.

**Q: do you need to wash hair before applying dye ?**
A: Dyes always work better on freshly cleaned hair

**Q: Is this good for a white mans beard?**
A: I’m not a man nor do I have a beard, but I do know that Bigen is, without question, the most comfortable hair dye that I’ve ever used. There’s no burning sensation on my scalp and there’s no overpowering odor that burns my nose or eyes. The first time I used Bigen, it was so painless I didn’t think it could possibly color my hair or survive a washing - I was wrong. To my joyful surprise, it lasted as long as any and every dye I ever used AND without damaging my hair! Last but not least, it is the most easily affordable so you know I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
Have you checked if Bigen might possibly have dye that’s made especially for men’s facial hair? I recommend that you check into it before you try regular Bigen on your face. IF by chance you decide to try, please test it first on a small portion to BE SAFE.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good, especially for people that have allergies with other hair products
*by J***L on December 30, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Toxin free hair color
*by R***L on September 6, 2025*

I’ve tried so many hair color brands over the years, but Bigen’s toxin-free formula has really stood out to me. What I love most is that it gives rich, vibrant color without the harsh chemicals that usually leave my scalp irritated or my hair feeling dry. The application was smooth, the scent was much lighter compared to traditional dyes, and my hair actually felt soft and conditioned afterward. The color payoff is beautiful and natural-looking—it covered grays evenly and left my hair with a healthy shine that lasted for weeks. I also appreciate that it’s ammonia-free and doesn’t have that overwhelming chemical smell, which made the process so much more pleasant. If you’re looking for a safer alternative that doesn’t compromise on results, I’d definitely recommend Bigen’s toxic-free hair color. It’s gentle, effective, and makes me feel good about what I’m putting on my hair.
