Manic Panic Purple Haze

I have been using different brands of hair stains for years but was never happy with the colour pay off or how long it lasted. Finally got around to buying Manic Panic and I love it! The colour is amazing.! It came out the same colour as it shows in the pot.

Before using this product I had dyed black hair and a pretty decent amount of dark blonde regrowth. A hairdresser lightened my hair using foils. I put the product through all of my hair and it turned out great. My foils are a bright beautiful purple and the rest of my hair - including my regrowth is a gorgeous purple tinted black.

Tips: Use gloves and Vaseline. Put Vaseline around your hair line and anywhere you tend to get dye when you do your hair yourself to reduce staining problems. If you are rinsing it out in the shower make sure to bend over so that the water doesn't run down your body otherwise you'll end up a very colourful person. If you manage to get your hands stained while dying or rinsing, spray them with hairspray and rub it in like you would when washing your hands with soap. Then wash as normal and it'll be gone! Also worked for my fingernails too :) I sleep with an old towel or pillowcase on my pillow as the colour transfers quite badly. Also have to be careful with what you wear

Manic Panic - Classic Formula

I have dark violet/brown hair with bright pink foils all through. This is done at the hair dresser and fairly pricey so I wanted to find a way to keep the quickly fading pink up to its fluro and bright potential.

I found it with Manic Panic. I got my mum to paint it onto my hair with her pastry brush (whoops) and then I left it in for hours. Not like you're supposed to but I had the same theory about longer = brighter. Eventually I washed it off outside with the hose and it looked incredible! The pink was right back to the colour it is straight from the salon!

Was very easy to apply - just make sure you do it outside and use gloves because that stains big time! Smells nice and feels good using something cruelty free!

You will need pre bleached in good condition hair to get the shocking colours. But that is much the same as any other bright colour dye.

Tips: Rinse of in cold water! Cold water keeps more of the colour in. Its a horrible experience but worth it in the long run!

Also - use dark towels!

Manic Panic Classic Formula

I've used hot hot pink and purple haze. These are not as intense as amplified but still good otherwise. These products are vegan and leave your hair soft and lovely, one of the main reasons why I love using manic panic

Tips: Pre-bleach your hair if you want the colour to show up, wear gloves when applying the colour and put conditioner on your hair after applying colour to help the colour last better.

Manic Panic Classic Formula - Ultra Violet

Im a huge fan of mabic panic i just started using it recently, you have a reasonable amount of colours to choose from i chose the ulta violet colour. Any ways i highly recommend just like with any coloured dyes cover your area your going to use cover with paper towels or even news paper this stuff can stain so also chuck a old top on and some gloves. Now i didnt apply it straight to my hair i placed a little in a container then diluted it heaps with some conditioner, i only did this to make it lighter a was going for a pale pastely tone. If you are going to dilute it you can get a diluted pale white from manic panic and mix abit of the violet to it abit at a time til you like the colour i ran out of this so i had to opt for the conditioner mix it does the same but if you do this way make sure the conditioner you use is free of oils and silicone. Swarzkopf and tresseme have a range of these conditioners. Anyways after ive diluted it i section my hair into fours so straight down the middle apply it from top to the back on my roots then split and section from the top of my head to my ear i then apply it to my roots in this then is in four sections i then carry on applying bit by bit in each section making sure its really satured once im done i do go ask someone for help just in case ive missed a couple bits then i leave that from 30mins to an hour. Like after dryed styled and admired the colour the like i mentioned i was going for a pale look and i cracked it lol but yeh im a huge fan because the size of the pot im able to do this look a few times if i use conditioner as diluter but im definitely going to buy this in the future.

Tips: Always was your hair with cold water and you dont want the hair cuticle opening and let out the colour. And try not to was hair alot as this will let colour out too.

Always a yes for manic panic!

I have used many of the Manic Panic colours over the years and have always enjoyed good results. The formula is easy to go on and smells great. It is kind to hair and leaves hair in a better condition however the results can fade quite quickly. One of my favourite colours is the Atomic Turquoise and it tends to have more staying power. The fade usually isn't too bad as pastels are quite nice and there is plenty of scope to play with colours and make your own by mixing from their large range. Great colours for mermaid hair and as it conditions so well it makes hair lovely and shiny. A great selling point for me is that it's not tested on animals either. An all round YES from me for Manic Panic!!!

Tips: Get empty jars and mix your own colours but make sure the jars are resealable so you can keep some for reapplying during washes. Put some colour in your daily conditioner to maintain colour brightness. For best colour results make sure there are no orange hues in the hair once bleached!!!

surprisingly pleased

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.

Tips: mix with conditioner for a quick shower touch up! and use exit mold or janola to remove stains :-)

Gorgeous colours

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.

Tips: Mix your own colours. I always mix mine with some conditioner added.

Great dyes

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.

Perfect manic colours

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

Tips: Use cold water to wash your hair for them to last longer
