I am a long time colourer of my hair , and have used multiple bright dyes to create my locks . On a whim , I tried this product . Firstly , it is quite pricey if you purchase instore compared to others . I did a little research and got it offline . Secondly , I found with Manic Panic that the existing colour needed to be seriously bleaced before applying their product , which I found quite trying on my hair . I also found that the amount of product I had to use to get the colour bright enough was most of the pottle , whereas with other dyes that I still use to date such as Paintbox or Special Effects , a bottle would last months . I found the formula quite watery and sliding around the hair a lot . Once the colour was finally to my ( admittedly fussy ! ) liking ; it did not last long before fading . I was quite disappointed with this product as I so wanted to like it . I did try it twice more with different colours hoping for diferent results , but was let down again .

Reviews
I would say this is average hair dye. Its ok and you get a good amount but the is abit on the expensive side.But is ok.
I have tried Hot Hot Pink and Rock'n'Roll Red.
The red was a very nice colour, I easily got a full, even coverage, I didn't have to completely whiten my hair to get a great result. The colour faded very quickly though, even when I washed my hair in cold water. I was watching the red race down the drain. Rock'n'Roll Red only lasted a few washes for me.
Hot Hot Pink, boy was it hot. Defiantly a bright colour! This also applied evenly, and was such a bright vibrant colour. It had very good lasting power, I got a couple of weeks out of this before it started fading. I have also tried using this as a pastel colour by dulling it down with conditioner before applying it, my hair wasn't white blonde so this didn't work out too well. My hair has a few stains of pink left in it, which I am really struggling to get out.
Overall, this is an okay product. Not sure if I will purchase again, as I have heard better things about many other products.
Tips: If you want the colour to last longer, mix some manic panic with your conditioner, so every time you shower you add a little bit more colour back.
The colour faded out to quickly even when dying blonde hair, probably not worth the price if its not going to stay in long at all. Other than that the colours are true and vibrant and do look very good when dyed over blonde.
I had finished my fudge paintbox so went to find a store that sold something similar. I was told Manic panic was good, I purchased it for $30, I got deep purple. Its a round container and I found it difficult getting dye out as I didn't have a brush to dip it into the product. The colour lasted 5-10 washes for me, I was able to use this dye 3 separate occasions. I prefer fudge paintbox than this one.
I have only used this brand for dying my hair purple what I found was that my hair didn't take the dye too well if I added too much conditioner however, if I added it straight to my hair it took colour really well it even took a little of the brassy tones out of my hair. I also found that it washed out really easily :( I will try it again if possible
Tips: Wash your hair with cold water and minimise the shampoo
I used the violet purple colour on my hair which was previously blonde obmre, hoping for a purple ombre look instead. Initially the colour was amazing! So much brighter than I'd hoped for. The only downside was that the colour came off onto everything and my hair felt quite chalky. I had purple hands for 2 weeks! It didn't wash very well but that is to be expected being a semi I guess. I would use this again if I wanted a good look for the weekend but to maintain it is too much work and too expensive.
I have been using the Atomic Turquoise for a few months now to colour the ends of my hair. It is the amplified version (which is meant to last longer). When I first put the dye in, the blue colour is lovely and vibrant, but I find after the first wash it fades A LOT, and turns a green/blue colour in my hair. I haven't re-coloured for a few weeks now and the colour is still there though, just a very faded green colour. So it lasts for a long time, just not at it's best. It didn't turn out quite the blue tone I was expecting either, but I like it anyway, and have received many compliments on it.
Tips: Be prepared to recolour often if you want a vibrant colour.
manic panic are cool only wash out time is like fudge really quick. loses its vibrance after one wash.
Tips: if your keen on upkeep go for it. or put a little on your shampoo when you wash keeps it bright.
Firstly, I love the color range for Manic Panic. So many beautiful colours to choose from. Secondly, it's so easy to apply. It's simple and fast to apply with not tricky bits at all. Which is awesome for us Mum's who have a short break while baby sleeps. We can do a quick touch up of our colour easily with no drama Yay!! It's not drying at all. My hair felt amazing afterwards. Incredibly soft and looked luxurious. So shiny and the Colour was Beautiful- Pink Although, as much as I love Manic Panic I am disappointed at how fast this brand of coloring fades. I've used many bright colors of the years, but unfortunately I find Manic Panic to fade the fastest out of them all.
Now, I know it's semi permanent hair colour of course it's going fade but I purchased the Colour Shampoo to help the colour last longer. But this polroduct didn't last more than two washes. And for the price it's quite disappointing.
Overall, it's a great product with minimal downsides.
