In Essence magazine they did a piece on hair coloring. They stated that for natural hair, semi-permanent would not work as well because the hair isn't porous and one should use permanent instead.
 
Nah...commercial rinses and henna/cassia/indigo (ie dyes/stains w/o peroxide) work fine on natural/virgin hair from my experience.
 
LOL...did they test Bigen dye? Bigen will cling to almost anything including space aliens. You might need to try a few to see what works, but think about this...how many people use Manic Panic and do so w/o having relaxers or peroxide to create porosity?

Perhaps you might be having trouble seeing the dye in dark hair, but it's staining. Of course, you can't take your hair LIGHTER w/o peroxide, but you can go darker or lay a lighter color on top for an affect.
 
I have been using Henna/Indigo for the past year and I have not had an issue with the color taking at all.

LOL! I know I tried the Colorshowers (dark brown) and it clung a little to my greys but it basically didn't stay on my hair. I know some of the other commercial semi-permanment brands, like L'Oreal's ColorMatch, are supposed to be good but to me they're still a little stronger than something like cellophane.
