Manic Panic Classic Formula

I used Manic Panic as my first attempt at fashion coloured hair. It took a while to apply as I didnt want to miss a spot, and it was thicker than normal hair dye.

No major complaints about the product itself. No harsh smell. Colour looked great.

Downside it that it stains everything it touches during the dying process, and then once you rocking your bright hair - it fades crazy fast.

Was fun to give this brand a try, but will stick to different brand in the future.

Finally I bought a color of this brand that I actually wanted to use, orange. Upon receiving it, I decided that the tub was bloody tiny for the price, so the pay off better be worth it. Luckily, it is.

I have 2 colors from this brand, a teal and an orange, but I've only opened the teal. I was surprised to see how jelly like the formula is, which is what made me extra skeptical in the first place. I dipped my brush in several times just to get a feel for it, and then I slapped in in my hair (brushed it calmly). I was pleased to note no harsh smell, I thought it was rather pleasant myself.

Leaving it to sit for several hours is preferable for me, but I've had excellent results just mixing it with conditioner and using it in the shower as an orange "shampoo" if you will (because its conditioner... not shampoo...). I just used that in place of my regular conditioner, and it brightened the whole color right back up.

I have shampooed my hair more than I usually would, yet it's still holding up. It has faded in some places, but I also have a feeling that's where I placed a different brand of orange so I can't be entirely sure. But it's doing well. With or without my touch ups. So it's fair to say that I shouldn't judge dye by their textures. I really enjoyed using this dye, and I'll be buying more in future.

Easy to apply, especially as you don’t need to mix it. Initial colour was vibrant and true, however even on my pre-bleached hair, colours didn’t last long (noticeable colour loss after 2nd and subsequent washing - even using a sulphate-Free salon only colour lock shampoo & conditioner). I straighten my hair almost daily, and noticed colour loss with the heat from my GHD’s.

Ok if you don’t need coloured hair for a long period of time, but I wouldn’t recommend for a long-term colour

Great range of shades and lovely vibrant colours. The pinks and reds especially fade really nicely into more pastel shades. These are also great to mix together to create the exact shade you want.

I love these dyes. I've used a few of the colours and they've all been great. I don't really dye my hair any colours anymore so i have a dark purple that i mix with conditioner to tone my hair and it works great and lasts ages.

Manic panic was the first dye I used, for a teenager, it was easily accessible and awesome. But as soon as my hair got wet, it would run, which was painful in winter. The colour range is great, and the colours are gorgeous, but they fade super fast unfortunately.

I’ve only used Manic Panic hair dyes once (also used the bleach, which was awesome) but I’ve helped my friends dye their hair using Manic Panic and it’s superbly easy. No mixing required! If you’ve got longer hair you’d probably need a few pots, but I only needed the one for my medium length hair. The mixture spreads around and you’re able to massage it right through. I used a red dye (can’t remember what the name was) and the initial colour straight after and the following few days was awesomely vibrant and shiny. It did begin to fade quite quickly, but because it was red it faded to nice shades. Like any dye, it runs when you get your hair wet, but if you use a colour locking shampoo you can minimise this.

I love these, the fact it’s already to go comes in an air tight container so it’s easy to save any unused product.

It’s also great to be able to create a rainbow look with 3 colours blue, yellow and pink, mixing blue and yellow to give green and yellow and pink to make orange and then blue and pink to make purple.

They are easy to apply and have lasted well in my hair fading out nicely

Manic panic dyes are the best! I always blue bleach my hair with a low to mid volume & use the conditioner based neon dyes, pink is my favorite & as you can see on my picture the blue, now I have turquoise so I highly recommend manic panic dyes
