Manic panic orig formula & amplified

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

Tips: Use the blue bleach salon formula from most bargain chemist warehouse using atleast 12% and then rub through your colour for atleast 40 minutes, I always condition again after or use some sort of repairing il like coconut oil

Manic Panic hair colour

One of the best colours I have used. It doesn't leach too much or fade out as quickly as other hair dyes. Absolutely love this product!

Manic Panic Classic

Love! The idea of being able to change my hair color all the time without doing damage is amazing. I love the color range of these dyes, and they last really well before fading out too

They smell so nice, I find they can be pricey but had a look online and you can buy them from Sinister Boutique a little cheaper!

Tips: Mix through a treatment for color boost in the shower!

FUSCHIA

I have only tried this product in Fushia. I loved the colour, it was very true to the colour of the dye itself, my hair is a medium brown and this is the first vibrant hair dye I have tried that actually lasts in my hair and shows up.

It was easy to apply and smooth through my hair, although the colour does stain skin. I had bright pink hands for two days afterwards so would definitely recommend using gloves to apply. As I have very thick hair and used the whole container of dye it took a very long time to rinse out (and my shower looked like a murder scene) but as long as you leave yourself a bit of time this shouldn't be an issue.

The brightness of the colour lasted properly for about two-three weeks, before fading, but lasted for a further month as a much duller colour.

I would definitely try these dyes out again.

Tips: It will rub off onto bedding when you are sleeping, so I would recommend using a pillow case you don't mind staining if the colour doesn't come out in the washing machine. Definitely use gloves and prep the skin around your hairline.

Fun times

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.

My Perfect Red

These very much depend on the colour.. I've had colours that just don't hold very well and others that are amazing. Vampire Red is my ultimate favourite red! applied over dark hair it gives a nice tint in sunlight.. I use this once every six weeks on the length of my hair when I touch up my roots and it keeps my red vibrant like no other!

Tips: The longer its left in the better!

Violet for Lilac

I originally had pink hair but once it washed out I wanted to go lilac so when that washed out I could tone it with a silver shampoo to make it grey/silver. I researched heaps and found out that using the Violet (and diluting it with conditioner instead of paying for the lilac Lilac that manic panic provides and using the whole tub all at once) meant that I could keep re-dying my hair once it washed out without having to keep spending $25 every few weeks. I've had the same tub of violet for about 2 months now and its great.

Downsides! if your hair is not 100% perfectly blonde all over then it is quite patchy, also when it washes out I found to my horror that the hair that shapes my face started turning electric blue and bright green......... it was unpleasant and my hairdresser was baffled and thought I dyed it all these different colours.

Also this is an ORGANIC colour, I learnt the hard way when I went to servilles and they turned my entire head mint green because it reacted with the chemicals in whatever they put in my hair and its been damaged ever since :( they couldn't really fix it and I ended up dying it lilac again..

p.s they don't test on animals :)

Tips: when it starts washing out have a little bottle of the violet/conditioner mixture in the shower and add it in as a normal conditioner to help the colour stay, and helps a lot with the green/blue bits that start showing up. Also wash your hair in cold water. When you wash your hair in warm water it opens the pores and lets the colour and moisture out, also helps with dry hair to wash in cold water.

Midnight Blue

I used the midnight blue in my younger years and found the colour pleasant and lasted a long time. I loved that it was vegetable based and didn't damage my skin in anyway. It made my hair feel soft and supple. The smell was pleasant and the colour even better.

Tips: Make sure your hair is very blonde and even to achieve and even result, and sometimes it might not show up as vibrant on poorly lightened hair unless overlaying with a red based dye.

Manic Panic (Amplified) Atomic Turquoise

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.

I haven't tried any others yet as I'm still using up this one. I'm looking into trying the La Riche Directions or Fudge though as I'm enjoying the blue look :)
