Manic PanicClassic High Voltage Hair Dye (Pink Warrior)

I decided to try this product because it’s not been tested on animals. I absolutely love the colour and I was super excited to try it?So I took it along to my hairdresser who was very happy to use it. I wanted a bright violet pink feathered into the front of my fridge.My hairdresser pre bleached the section, then washed out the bleached twice to remove all the bleach. Bleach also opens up the hair follicles which help the dye adhere to the hair better too. She applied the dye for 30 mins (the instructions say you can leave it on for longer). Then she washed it and added conditioner.I was blown away with the results, it was absolutely the exact colour as advertised. It was absolutely spectacular, and I absolutely LOVE IT.My hair dresser showed me where the dye had come into contact with my natural grey/white hair which didn’t have any bleach on it. It does dye white hair but the colour isn’t as strong or as vivid but it does take, it’s much more subtle.My advice is, if you want the exact colour as advertised, apply this to pre bleached hair for maximum effect. Look at the video that goes with this product on Amazon too, as they advise that it goes on pre bleached hair.If you have natural white hair and you don’t want to go down the bleached route, you can still use it, I personally would leave it on much longer. Don’t expect it to be super vibrant, you will get a much more muted effect.When the dye starts to eventually fade, dampen down the area, reapply the dye again leave it on the same amount of time, wash and condition the hair again to re fresh the colour.My only disappointment was how very small the container is. In the photo of the product it shows a large container, but I only received a very small one. You don’t need a lot of the product, but I was only having my fridge done. If you are colouring long hair and your whole head too, you may need to buy 2 containers??Discuss this with your hair dresser if in doubt.Also remember to do a pre dye test on your skin before use to make sure you’re not allergic to the product.

Works like other genuine manic products. Don’t spill it. Will stain even Lino. Comes out over time but very striking.

Left my hair feeling great and very vibrant

Fab colour, stays in well will come off sink etc with a splash of bleach and yes you will get it everywhere, you don’t need to use much as it’s quite thick,

Absolutely amazing colour result and very easy to work with.

Gorgeous hot pink colour on light hair and really bright Magenta on orange hair, covers amazingly.Be careful as this dye will not run clear even under a cold shower for 30-40 minutes and will stain everything in its path( as do most manic panic dyes)

Easy product to use, it's vegan. It has no harsh chemicals, I mean what more does a person need a dye that nourishes your hair while also delivering a never ending pallet of amazing vibrant colours, I'm talking every colour of the rainbow and more. You can even mix colours to create your own unique shade. It's easy to use and safe to leave on far longer than any other permanent hair dye. I know this is semi permanent but if you bleach or go blonde first then you get the brightest tones of the colour you chose, to keep my colour longer the best way is to wash your hair in cooler water as hot water strips the colour, also avoid most shampoos look for one that doesn't strip bright colours manic panic have a great one. Any conditioner is fine. I was shocked to see how much colour runs when you use water much warmer than room temp I use cold water on mine. Tried to upload a review video to show the amazing results of my ultra violet application but it is on my youtube channel for anyone curious (Welsh Amethyst Girl), I've also tried the electric lizard which glows under blacklight. It's a really bright high vis green I had the underneath half of my hair green and then the top half ultra violet. Even when those two shades fade it looks good as it will eventually give you mermaid hair the longer it fades. My next colour will be hot pink and I'm planning on recording the process for my YouTube channel to help others. When I first started my manic panic journey there were hardly any videos online about how to use the product and the best way to apply especially if bleaching first. This time no bleach just platinum blonde vegan friendly box dye, I'm excited to see how the hot pink turns out even though I already miss the green and purple

Seems to be okay, smaller than expected about the width of a soda can but a little smaller, but was disappointed when it came with the seal broke and dye leaked everywhere, not sure if this was a defect or a problem with the delivery but I can't return it because I need to use it for tomorrow. About 1/4 of the tub was full not sure if that's normal or just because it leaks but still just disappointed because I paid more then I usually do for dye because a friend recommended this brand

(See updates below)I have always heard great things about Manic Panic so decided to switch after years of using henna. I figured I would use a paintbrush and dye my grey roots, while leaving the length orange and brown. The bottle came well sealed but the label was covering the instructions. I used a brand new paintbrush and just dipped it in, applying liberally.No stranger to messy dye, I used gloves and kept my work area tidy. Even so, when I rinsed the paintbrushes off, any tiny bit of contact with the countertop resulted in permanent stains, even when I tried to wipe it away immediately. Tried borax and super washing soda combined with lemon juice. No luck. Tried scrubbing bubbles. Nada. Tried hydrogen peroxide. Also no. Manufacturer's web site has some recommendations such as Magic Eraser and/or acetone but we have neither of those. Before you start, test your workspace in a non-visible area and make sure you have a good cleaning solution for it before you start.Even so, I was very tidy. I even managed to keep the dye off of my scalp in most spots, except towards my temples where the hair is very fine. I have very thick hair and figured I'd test a top layer before bothering with lower layers. But I also did apply it fairly thickly on top. It looked great during application. I let it sit for four hours (after running strand tests and finding the white hair to be fairly stubborn if less than 4 hours). When I rinsed the initial dye out, this is what it looked like right away, while still wet. Basically, pink scalp with still white strands.To be fair, I didn't bleach it. I have knee-length hair and am not about to risk that kind of damage. Henna is far more effective and doesn't need to be bleached. You can see some orange henna strands toward the back from months ago. I usually use a tiny amount of acid with henna, such as vinegar or lemon juice, to help the dye absorb. I may try a mix of that on a strand test to see if there's a ratio that wouldn't cause harm.I don't want to give up on Manic Panic but it's ineffective so far and damaging to bathroom surfaces. That said, it smells neutral, which is a lot better than henna. It's also nice that it's premixed and not as much of a royal mess, though at least henna doesn't permanently stain countertops/tubs.I had been hoping to go for buying purple, red, and blue to give a subtle flame-like hue on my grey roots, over the course of a couple of years. But this just isn't really working out so far. I'll probably keep trying and will update the review if I have any success.Update (about a week later):I did another round and am going to increase the star rating. This time, the dye absorbed really well! I did two things differently: I shampooed my roots a day ahead of time and I used about twice as much dye. I also used petroleum jelly on my scalp line, as others recommended. That helped for not having a pink face but I found it didn't really work on the top of my head, as it just meant that the roots became immune to dye, lol. Basically, for my hair, if it's too conditioned/coated, the dye won't absorb. If it's dry, it bonds better. I have almost ankle-length hair, so I usually keep my hair pretty oiled and conditioned to avoid snarls. I do not bleach, ever, as that runs too much risk of breakage/harm.I do love how conditioned my hair feels after using this dye. I've upgraded from 2 stars to 5 stars. I'd probably knock it a half star for the way it dyes the countertop and tub, if I could take away half a star. I'm not sure how well it will hold up with time and may update the review later. I will note that the dye didn't stain the tub if it was diluted, such as during showering, but I also only used this on my roots (I use henna on the length) so volume may be part of why it went okay. My fingernails got badly stained - even though I used gloves, this stuff is strangely itchy for me so scratching it the first day led to messy pink fingernails. Not a big deal though. I ended up buying another color too, as the second round went so much better than the first round.

Grate hair dye

This is one of my favorite colors. It and Future shock are my all time favorites. I love their vibrant color and I love what they do to other colors. I love mixing them with everything. They both are essential to my hair coloring needs. I posted a pic of a fresh dye job as well as one a little faded. As always, these kinds of color take preparation. Bleaching of the hair is essential. You must also wear gloves and cover the surfaces your working on. Most importantly to me, you should apply coconut oil or Vaseline to your neck, ears, forehead, and outter cheek area. Be sure to wear clothes that are meant for painting and yard work. BUT this color is soooo worth it!

Love manic panic!!!!

I love manic panic, this color is amazing! And long lasting and is also black light activate it which I absolutely love.
