Review on Bigen Dark Chestnut Powder Hair Color #48 - 0.21 oz (Case of 6) by Keely Simmons

Excellent product, as has been the case for several generations. My grandma and mom used Bigen and now that I know, I use it too. This Bigen Powder 0.21 oz Hair Color does not come with a measuring cup like some do (two square cups). Just a small bottle with no label but about half full of hair dye powder that you just need to mix with water. I love that it doesn't smell very much like chemicals - there's probably a few in there, but somehow I'm leaning more towards the organic sense of this dye when you mix the powder with water instead of the developer - and it doesn't smell like the fumes! I had this order of Bigen #48 Dark Chestnut Hair Color Powder 0.21oz on my hair for exactly 5 weeks. I was approximately 25% white with 75% dark brown virgin hair at the roots before I died. I only used half a bottle for my sparse roots around my face. After 5 weeks I see that the color has faded a bit. I usually just buy dark chocolate/cola from the drugstore for my hair and it's the same dark brown color. TIP: Many people say that Bigen Dark Chestnut is black, but it's actually a very dark brown and will brown more in the sun. If the reviews say that the color is black, then most likely the dye was applied to previously dyed dark hair (e.g. dark chestnut to dark brown). Previously colored hair takes on the color differently. I notice that when I color the middle part outside of the roots with this product, it looks black because of the hair color overlap.
