Yeah..... Nah

Tried these to see if they were better than La Riche but the Manic Panic didn't last anywhere near as long as my La Riche colours. I got La Riche: Turquoise, Violet & Flamingo Pink... and Manic Panic: Enchanted Forest, Ultra Violet & Hot Hot Pink. I don't know whether it was these colours alone, but in my hair, they didn't last long at all - a couple of weeks before they faded to ugly... where as my La Riche ones lasted around 4 weeks!

Shocking Blue.

In the quest to have the underside of my hair blue, I purchaed Manic Panic's 'Shocking Blue' dye from their NZ site. When this arrived, I bleached my hair and got it to a pale yellow shade. My research online made me think that this was definitely light enough for the pigment to take.

This comes in a small jar with a screw top lid. No gloves came with it so beware that you will need some. For the price I would have expected a pair of gloves but never mind. In the jar shocking blue is a beautiful medium blue with purple undertones.

I followed the instructions to a t, but ended up leaving this on for 2 hours - as I thought that perhaps by leaving it on longer it would stain my hair and this make this last longer.

Using a dye brush that I have from previous dye jobs, I combed this through the bleached hair and made sure to pay attention to make it look seamless and not patchy. After applying it, I wrapped my hair in glad wrap and chilled out for two hours.

When I washed this out it looked like I had committed a gory smurf murder haha. The dye washed out super easily and with no fuss. I excitedly dried my hair only to be extremely disappointed.

Before coin tuning, I want to add that everyone's hair is different and the reason this didn't work for me may be something to do with my hair. This didn't work out for my hair at all but it could for yours.

When I dried my hair I was definitely shocked... However,min stead of having shocking blue hair I had a super ugly, shocking green/blue TINT to my hair. For some reason the pigment in this didn't adhere to my hair whatsoever and merely tinted it - and tinted it an ugly blue/green. I was super disappointed after spending that much money on a dude, and quickly went down to the Warehouse and got a different dye.

As I saod above this may not have worked due to something with regards to my hair. My hair usually takes dye really well but this isn't the first blue dye that I have had problems with (a similar thing happened with Directions hair dye). Because of this experience I absolutely won't purchase this brand again and it wouldn't be my first recommendation to friends.

Tips: If you want blue hair, grab a few boxes of Schwarzkopf's Ultra Brights in blue. At $5 a box they come with gloves and the pigment is amazing. I have this in my hair currently and it is a beautiful, vibrant shocking blue - not an ugly blue/green tint.

Highlighter Head

I brought the vampire red manic panic and to say i was disappointed would be an understatement. As told by the staff member who sold it to me and the manic panic instructions it said to be used on light blonde hair which was what i had as i was bleach blonde so was already set to go. Applied as per instructions and left on for an extra 10mins to help build a better colour, it was looking so red and exactly what i wanted; washed it out to find it had turned my hair neon pink - not what it said it would go or what i asked for; i ended up having to re-dye it with a cheap supermarket hair dye just so i didn't have to look like a walking highlighter. Other than the colour it was a good thick consistency making it easy to apply

Tips: Do extra research into what other peoples colours have turned out like so you know what your in for.

Didn't take hold

I bought a few colours from this brand (classic colour and amplified) as I was going for a rainbow effect. I already had bleached my hair to blonde and was careful about which product went where for the overall effect. I spent a long time applying the colours and waited out longer than the necessary length of time, washed my hair and um... where's my rainbow? seriously beyond upset! I had wasted a lot of time and money for a product that barely lasted one wash, and what was there washed out after only two more washes (using salon branded colour-safe shampoo).

I am mortified at the price I paid when I could have purchased a cheaper brand that I had used before and knew it lasted longer (much, much longer). I tried once again but less time spent on application with just two colours chosen... same result... washed out within a week. The amount of product I used was a lot more than I would have on the cheaper brand I normally buy.

This not lasting long might be a good thing for some but for me it was a big waste of time and money.
