Key Takeaway
BigBasket.pk does not stock Dikson hair color or an official shade card. Here is how shade numbers work and the color-care products we do carry to protect your result.
BigBasket.pk does not stock Dikson hair color, so we don't have an official dikson hair color shade card in pakistan to show you — and we'd rather tell you that upfront than paste up a chart we can't stand behind. What we can do is explain exactly how professional shade cards like Dikson's are numbered, how to buy the real product safely from an authorised Pakistani salon or distributor, and which verified colour-care products on this site will keep whatever shade you choose looking salon-fresh for weeks longer.
Does BigBasket.pk Stock Dikson Hair Color?
Not yet — and we're not going to fake a shade card to pretend otherwise. Dikson is an Italian professional hair colour line, sold mainly through hairdressing supply distributors and used inside salons rather than retailed on general beauty e-commerce sites, which is why most "Dikson shade card in Pakistan" listings online are unofficial photos, not something you can order and match with certainty. If your goal is booking a Dikson colour service, your best move is asking your salon in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad to show you their own printed or laminated shade card in person under proper light, since screen colours and printed swatches shift depending on the monitor, the paper stock and even the age of the card.
What BigBasket.pk does carry — and can vouch for as genuine, Cash-on-Delivery stock — is the aftercare side of colouring: sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners built specifically to hold colour molecules in the hair shaft after any professional dye job, Dikson included. We've grouped the honest alternatives further down this guide, and you can browse the full range in our hair care category anytime.
How Professional Shade Card Numbers Like Dikson's Actually Work
Nearly every professional colour brand — Dikson included — uses the same international numbering logic, so understanding it helps you read any shade card correctly even without our own copy of Dikson's. The first number (1 to 10) is the depth level: 1 is black, 6 is dark blonde, 10 is lightest blonde. The number after the decimal point is the tone: .0 is natural, .1 is ash, .3 is gold, .4 is copper, .6 is red/violet-red, .7 is matte/khaki, and mixed digits like .13 or .34 blend two tones together. So a shade written as 7.1 means level 7 (medium blonde) with an ash tone, while 5.4 means level 5 (light brown) with a copper tone.
This is why a shade card alone is never enough to predict your result: your natural base level, how much grey you're covering, the developer volume the stylist mixes in (10, 20, 30 or 40 volume), and processing time all shift the final colour away from the printed swatch. A colourist reading a Dikson card is translating a formula, not just picking a paint chip — which is another reason an in-person consultation beats a photo of a shade card shared in a Facebook group or WhatsApp status.
Buying Dikson Safely in Pakistan: What to Check Before You Pay
Because Dikson isn't officially retailed on mainstream Pakistani e-commerce, most boxes in circulation arrive through salon-supply importers or are resold loose in cosmetics markets — and that's exactly where counterfeit risk creeps in. Before paying for any Dikson colour tube or kit in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad, check that the outer carton is fully sealed with an intact batch code printed on both the box and the tube itself; mismatched or missing codes are the single biggest red flag. Ask the seller or salon directly where they source it — a distributor name you can verify beats a vague "imported" answer every time.
Avoid buying loose, unsealed sachets of colour or developer sold by weight in general cosmetics stalls, since these are repackaged and impossible to trace back to a batch, and never accept a tube with a broken seal, faded printing, or a smell that seems off compared to what you remember from a previous purchase. If a price looks dramatically cheaper than what other salons in your city charge for the same shade, treat that as a warning sign rather than a bargain — professional colour tubes have a real import cost that a genuine seller can't undercut by half.

Patch Test and Aftercare: The Steps a Shade Card Won't Tell You
A shade card shows you the destination, not the risk along the way — and skipping the patch test is the most common mistake we hear about from readers who colour at home or through a new salon. Apply a small amount of the mixed colour behind the ear or on the inner elbow 48 hours before your full appointment and watch for redness, itching or swelling; this matters for every professional brand, Dikson included, because the allergen in most permanent colour (PPD) can trigger reactions even in people who've coloured their hair safely for years.
Once the colour is actually on your hair, the first three washes decide how long it lasts. Rinse with cool or lukewarm water instead of hot, wait at least 48-72 hours before the first wash to let the colour fully bond, and switch to a sulfate-free, colour-protecting shampoo from the very first wash — a regular sulfate shampoo can strip a noticeable amount of tone within two to three washes, no matter how well the colour was applied or how accurate the shade card was.
Verified Color-Care Products BigBasket.pk Does Stock
Whatever brand you colour with — Dikson at a salon or anything else — the products that actually protect that investment are the ones we can guarantee are genuine and in stock. L'Oréal Paris Elvive Color Protect Shampoo (360ml, PKR 870, down from PKR 1470) is the accessible everyday option for keeping colour from fading between salon visits. For a salon-grade routine, Framesi Morphosis Color Protect Shampoo (1000ml, PKR 6000) and its 250ml size (PKR 2560) pair with the matching Morphosis Color Protect Conditioner (250ml, PKR 2400) to close the cuticle and hold tone after each wash.
If your colour service also involved bleach, heavy lightening or a keratin smoothing step, damaged, colour-treated hair needs strengthening alongside colour protection. Asma Doll Keratin Shampoo (PKR 1600) is worth adding to the rotation once or twice a week to rebuild strength without stripping the shade underneath. None of these will change the colour you got — that's the shade card's job — but they're the difference between a dye job that looks fresh for six weeks versus six days.
Caring for Colored Hair in Karachi's Humidity and Islamabad's Winters
Pakistan's climate works against colour retention in two very different ways depending on your city. Karachi's humidity and chlorinated or hard tap water speed up colour fade and can pull warm shades toward brassy tones within weeks, so rinsing with filtered or bottled water when possible, and washing less frequently — two to three times a week rather than daily — helps the colour last closer to what the shade card promised. In Lahore and Islamabad, dry winter air and indoor heating pull moisture out of coloured hair, making it look dull and increasing breakage at the ends, which a colour-safe conditioner used every wash helps offset.
Across all cities, direct sun exposure during Pakistan's long summer months is one of the fastest ways to oxidise and fade a fresh colour, so a light leave-in or oil at the lengths — even something as simple as Asma Doll Hair Oil (PKR 2100) — adds a protective barrier before you step outside. Whatever shade you eventually pick from a Dikson card in-salon, plan your aftercare routine around your city's climate, not just the product label.
Common Mistakes
- Buying Dikson tubes from unauthorised local markets without checking matching batch codes on the box and tube.
- Skipping the 48-hour patch test just because you've coloured your hair before without a reaction.
- Washing with a regular sulfate shampoo right after colouring, which fades tone within two to three washes.
- Judging your final shade purely from a printed or screenshotted shade card instead of an in-person consultation.
- Ignoring the developer volume (10/20/30/40 vol) the stylist uses, which changes the outcome as much as the shade number.
- Not adjusting your wash routine for Karachi's humidity or Islamabad's dry winters — both fade colour faster than expected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does BigBasket.pk sell Dikson hair color or its official shade card?+
No — BigBasket.pk does not stock Dikson hair color, so we don't have an official shade card to publish. Dikson is sold mainly through salon-supply distributors in Pakistan, so ask your salon in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad to show you their printed card in person. We do stock genuine colour-protect shampoos and conditioners to look after whatever shade you get done elsewhere.
What do the numbers on a professional colour shade card like Dikson's mean?+
The first number (1-10) is the depth level, from 1 (black) to 10 (lightest blonde), and the number after the decimal is the tone — for example .1 is ash, .3 is gold, .4 is copper and .6 is red. A shade like 6.3 means level 6 (dark blonde) with a gold tone. This numbering convention is shared across most professional brands, which is useful even without an official Dikson card in hand.
How do I know if a Dikson hair color box bought in Pakistan is genuine?+
Check that the outer box and the tube share the same intact batch code, that the seal is unbroken, and that the printing looks sharp rather than faded or smudged. Buy only from a salon or distributor that can name their source rather than loose sachets sold in general cosmetics markets. If the price is far below what other salons charge for the same shade, treat it as a warning sign.
What shampoo should I use after getting my hair coloured, Dikson or otherwise?+
Switch to a sulfate-free, colour-protecting shampoo from your very first wash, since a regular shampoo can strip noticeable tone within two to three washes. BigBasket.pk stocks L'Oréal Paris Elvive Color Protect Shampoo (360ml, PKR 870, down from PKR 1470) for everyday budget use and Framesi Morphosis Color Protect Shampoo (1000ml, PKR 6000) with its matching conditioner (250ml, PKR 2400) for a salon-grade routine.
How often should I wash colour-treated hair in Karachi's humidity?+
Wash two to three times a week rather than daily, since Karachi's humidity and hard tap water speed up colour fade on top of normal washing. Use lukewarm rather than hot water, and follow with a colour-safe conditioner every time to help seal the cuticle. This slows fading noticeably compared to washing daily with a regular shampoo.
Do I need a patch test before Dikson colour if I've coloured my hair before without a problem?+
Yes — the allergen in most permanent hair colour (PPD) can trigger a reaction even in people who have safely coloured their hair for years, so a fresh patch test 48 hours before every application is worth the wait. Apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner elbow and watch for redness, itching or swelling. This applies to Dikson and every other professional colour brand, not just first-time use.
The Short Version
TL;DR: BigBasket.pk doesn't sell Dikson hair color or an official shade card — buy Dikson only through an authorised salon in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad, always patch-test 48 hours ahead, and check for sealed batch codes to avoid counterfeits. Whatever shade you choose, protect it with a sulfate-free colour-care shampoo like L'Oréal Elvive Color Protect or browse more in our hair care category.
