Does anyone know or use/have used BIGEN hair colourant? if so does it work on already coloured hair?

the question pretty much explains it.



bigen is a natural hair colorant, very similair to henna, but it's japanese. its for colouring grey hair, but i want to know if it will colour already coloured hair, without grey hairs?



i want to dye it blue/black. my hair is very dark brown, because i dyed it with semi-permanent coulour about 3 months ago.



please help,



i really do need to know this.

Yes actually my dad used to use Bigen hair dye for many years. It is a chemical dye and of course I am not one to recommend chemical dye especially for the long term damaging, and drying affects when you can easily to do it naturally with herbal powders.



But no Bigen is not natural, if you read the ingredients it will say it contains PPD, which is a black hair dye found in most other chemical hair dyes. Henna is 100% natural as long as you get pure body art quality henna powder, and then you can use that along with your chemically treated hair safely without damage.



Another thing is the marketplace of the stores always mislabel henna products. Because if it is supposed to be so natural how can they sell you "henna colors"? Henna is a plant that grows in very hot countries and it only makes one color which is reddish-brown tones. It only makes sense that a plant can only produce one color not a variety of colors, UNLESS it is mixed with other herbs or chemicals.



What I recommend for you is for blue-black tones you can use indigo which is a natural plant that dyes that color but first you need to apply henna powder so that it helps the indigo bind to your hair strand. This would be perfect for you and you will also get strong, soft and shiny hair.



You can't go wrong with that!
