MANIC PANIC Classic Cotton Candy Pink Semi Permanent Hair Color - Bright Pink Hair Dye for Women & Men That Lasts 4-6 Weeks - Vegan, Ammonia & Cruelty-Free - Create & Mix Custom Shades (4oz / 2pk)

I’ve been using Manic Panic brand hair dyes for years and years. I love their products because they don’t damage your hair in any way- in fact they are natural conditioners that help your hair replenish its strength while they do their job. For this reason it is perfectly fine to leave the color in for longer than the directions say- even for hours is okay. I recommend bleaching your hair as close to platinum blonde as you can prior to using Manic Panic to get the most accurate color as per described on the bottle. You can search online for the Manic Panic color wheel prior to selection as they offer far more options than you might think. Do not use hot water or heating devices after acquiring the color you prefer to keep. It will last for longer if you avoid washing your hair and only condition it instead (and if using lighter, pastel colors use purple shampoos and conditioners) as a trick you can add some of the color dye into your conditioner bottle in the following weeks after getting the color to your liking and let it sit the conditioner mix sit in your hair while you shower for 5-10 minutes before rinsing to replenish the color. The colors stay in your hair for a good amount of time and if it just so happens that you hate the outcome you can just as easily wash your hair a bunch of times in a row to remove the color (and adding in dawn dish soap will hurry the de-coloring process along) as it is not a permanent process. I highly recommend these products to anyone who wants to spice up their look with some outrageously fun array of coloring options.

Oh I’m soooo disappointed. I’ve worn this color for 15 years. Had probably a 1,000 compliments or more. Phoned the company and they said it’s the same product but people, its not!I’ve tried three different containers. Two were purchased from Amazon and sold by SBT. Manic Panic told me I would be buying product that is guaranteed fresh if it was sold by SBT. I did and the expiration dates were 7 months away. The color is now a very very light baby pink. The dye is like pudding,as usual, but very translucent. Not like before. It’s barely noticeable against my naturally pure white hair. I always leave it on 2 hrs at the left side of my crown. The only other thing I can think to do is to try Manic Panic Cotton Candy “Amplified” which is more permanent and use it straight or mix it in the original stuff. It’s sold at Ulta and maybe Amazon. Will look. So so disappointed. It was my trade mark. As for longevity, It does not last 4 weeks. Never did. The color was so pretty. I didn’t care…I did it every week. Good things never last. Probably due to an increase in dye price or a dye supply issue.

I love this shade and it is very hard to find but I can almost always find it on Amazon.

I used to use manic panic as a teen and loved it. As an adult I always just go to a salon and get my fun colors put in that way.The manic panic that i used as a teen was never vegan so I don't know if that makes a difference. I do know that dye reviews I have watched the vegan dyes tend to not be as vibrate or latch on as well. That being said I did miss where this was vegan. However, I can say I don't think that would have changed me purchasing this at the time that I did. I more wanted to put that out there for someone that is looking at this because it is vegan, be sure to check out videos on how it looks.Because this is such a light pink you really need to have your hair bleached to blonde if it isn't already. My daughter's hair was a dirty blonde when we used it, and we used it for the fact it was lighter on purpose so when it faded it would hopefully be unnoticable once school started if we hadn't gotten it all out.unfortunately this was too light so it didn't really show up in her hair. But i wasn't taking extra steps (bleaching her hair) to make it really show up. so for us in this paticular moment this color was a fail, I would happily try this in a darker shade for her next time with out bleaching. before going a bleaching route, since she cant have fun colors in her hair for school.as far as the process of using the product it was 100% easy and on point just like I remembered.

You need to use this product on already bleached hair, I used it to brighten up hair that had faded from being dyed pink in the salon. It worked really well! I used it on dry hair & kept it on for about 45 minutes.

The media could not be loaded. Ive bought and used this twice now, the first time (1st 2 pictures) i applied it to my natural blonde/light brown hair and left it on for an hour and it turned out pretty hot pink. The second time I actually bleached my hair and then applied the color for probably 45min and it came out much more cotton candy colored. Ive had it done for about a week and a half now and the very front section is fading really quick but the rest seems to be holding color very nicely. I would recommend rinsing and washing your hair with cold water that helps me a lot.

We just got the hair dye today my daughter has thick blonde hair and so we I bought 2 bottles of the cotton candy and she was so excited! We colored only half her head just so we know we like it before doing all over and nothing! Did not turn her hair any color at all!!! So so so frustrated. Not just because 30.00 wasted but also because my daughter’s heart was broken. So so so very upset. Do NOT BUY this it is fraud and does not work at all!!!!!!

The semi cannot be stressed enough here. The day off? Pink as pink can be. The next day, lighter, but still pink. Five days later? You're damn near orange. I use cold water, I use shampoo and conditioner specifically designed to help color last longer in hair. Doesn't matter. The product washes out to barely more than a hint of it's former glory within 5 days. Sure, you're left with a bland hint of color after that. But beware before you buy it that if you're looking for LASTING color, this ain't it.
