Manic Panic Classic Formula

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!

I've used this dye a few times as a pastel colour as well as a darker dye. As a pastel i found it was far too much maintenance for a hair colour and gave up, I had purple streaks for a month after i'd initially died it. I recently re-dyed my hair with this product and it lasted well over a month (still vibrant) with no re-dyes. I also love that it isn't tested on animals and is vegan!!!!!

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!

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

I currently have the blue one in my hair I left it in over night and it has lasted aggges I keep getting compliments on my hair this lasts longer then paintbox. I like that the product is organic and used by snooki. The fading has been slower when used with a colour care shampoo.with a lower laurel sulphate. (this makes the shampoo lather) It will fade out faster with regular or anti dandruff shampoo but I think this has great staying power as long as you leave it in for several hours rather then the 30minutes which is the minmum time. I have only used one colour and I used it on the ends and mid lengths of my hair. I still have more then 3quarters of a tub left so I think it is value for money. I even put some on my sister hair hers washed out faster though as hers was light brown and dark blonde but there is still a little in her hair and its been about a month! I keep getting compliments I got mine on special from a facebook sale for $20 I used the dark blue and it has now faded to a nice light blue I do not think it damaged my hair as my hair was already damaged.

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.

Have used the purple one and it put amazing color into my hair, I love how vibrant these are! If I knew how my hair would probably be a rainbow using these

I definitely prefer manic panic over paintbox, however if you are wanting a better quality long lasting dye, go for the manic panic amplified series of dyes.
