#LiveFastAndDyeYourHair #complimentary @ManicPanicNYC @Influenster I recieved this product free from influenster and manic panic. I recieved the shade nightshade which is a deep purple shade. The dark neutral purple looks violet black when first dyed and then fades later into blue burgundy. The color is semi permanent and last about four to six weeks depending how much you wash your hair. I like that it leaves a nice rich color and when I lightening it with bleach there is even more purple. I did like the color but since this is semipermant, I have to redo the color again in a month. I like that it is direct dye so I do not have to mix anything or do anything extra unless I want to bleach. I did only a small section in the back of my hair with a few streaks of hair ... More#LiveFastAndDyeYourHair #complimentary @ManicPanicNYC @Influenster I recieved this product free from influenster and manic panic.

I like that it is direct dye so I do not have to mix anything or do anything extra unless I want to bleach. I did only a small section in the back of my hair with a few streaks of hair since the jar was a bit smaller and I have too much hair to do a full all over hair color. I feel like it did not leave my hair damage all and the intense color is pretty and I have a deep purple that looks great with black hair.

I am going to try to review this as systematically as possible. Firstly I was unable to use the bleach kit because when I looked up the instructions on Manics website it specifically said to not use it over already dyed hair. I know Influenster knows that I have dyed hair because I select it on my pre-questionnaires, so I’m not sure if this was an Influenster or Manic mistake. Then I went to prep my hair and realized I only had one 4oz container. Agin influenster knows that I have medium length hair which according to manic means I need two 4oz jars. Then I decided to just dye the top of my head and leave the underneath my dyed red. I went to open the jar and it was nearly impossible to open, I had to use a knife, which means it was really secured but I was ... MoreI am going to try to review this as systematically as possible.

It went on daily easily with the brush that was included in the kit. Overall it did not cover my grays and only slightly altered my hair color as shown in the picture. I love that it is a semi-perm hair dye!

I desperately wanted to love this hair dye, unfortunately, my experience was pretty much a how-to on what not to do. This product is not for beginners. The first step involved bleaching your hair, something I had no experience with except for from the perspective of a person sitting in the salon chair with an expert handling the process. The bleach was hard to apply and my hair instantly started to stick together despite using the comb to help keep it under control. Sections lightened significantly differently and i felt really out of control at this point. There were no instructions on going from the bleaching portion of the process to the dying part so I waited until my hair was completely dry before attempting anything else. I hoped that once I applied the dye, ... MoreI desperately wanted to love this hair dye, unfortunately, my experience was pretty much a how-to on what not to do. This product is not for beginners.

There were no instructions on going from the bleaching portion of the process to the dying part so I waited until my hair was completely dry before attempting anything else. I hoped that once I applied the dye, my hair would even out colorwise (what else was I going to do?!) but it only made it worse. The finished product made me cringe. It looked like I had chunky highlights straight out of the 90s and none of my greys were covered. My boyfriend's first comment: "why is your hair 12 different colors?" 🤦‍♀️ To say that this was a negative experience is putting it lightly. I had to re-dye my hair to my normal color and even that didn't fix everything. I can't say for sure that my lack of experience with bleach was the culprit, but this is not a step that beginners should attempt imo. I was left feeling all the hair blues and for someone who works in corporate America, an array of colors in my hair isn't a great look. I can go as far as to sayIi would be reluctant to accept more opportunities for complementary hair dyes in the future for a very realistic fear of the results.

I received Purple Haze Amplified. It’s supposed to be the same shade as the original in the jar but longer lasting. I find that the Amplified is actually brighter than I remember the original Purple Haze. I put it over my already colored mushroom blonde hair and I got a bright vibrant purple. I had some darker blonde roots and it colored them as well but it isn’t as vibrant which is to be expected. I’ve washed it numerous times and it’s still quite bright just a bit of fading on the root areas. First picture is shortly after coloring. Second picture is after a few washes. Purple Haze can be used on bleached, blonde even lighter brown hair with beautiful results. It is messy but every semi permanent bright dye I’ve used is messy so that’s not a problem. I recommend ... MoreI received Purple Haze Amplified. It’s supposed to be the same shade as the original in the jar but longer lasting.

I love, love, love Manic Panic colors! I have been using their products since I was a teenager and have tried just about every color they have. Electric Watermelon Classic High Voltage was a new one for me though. As always, my hair feels super soft afterwards and the shine is incredible. This formula is so easy to apply. I washed my hair (no conditioner), towel dried it, applied the color to my hair using my hands, and let it sit while I ate breakfast (about 45 min.), rinsed and conditioned, and done! It usually locks in after 15 minutes, but leaving it in longer doesn't harm your hair. I didn't pre- lighten my hair before, because I wanted a more subtle change and it turned out just how I expected. Some of my favorite things about Manic Panic is that their color ... MoreI love, love, love Manic Panic colors!

Some of my favorite things about Manic Panic is that their color doesn't bleed and it's so easy to blend, mix, and create custom colors. I would say it's one of the best vivid color lines for non-professionals. *Tip: stains on sinks, tubs, and skin clean up easily with rubbing alcohol.

This is my first time ever trying this color in my hair, and this brand. I absolutely love the way it turned out! I decided to put it on my natural hair color rather than lightening it, and it came out amazing! It gave me the perfect amount of color that I wanted in my hair. It was super easy to apply! I left it on for the 30 minutes that it calls for and it came out perfect! I also want to add, my hair was extremely soft when I was finished. This didn't leave my hair stiff like other hair dyes. The one thing I'd like to see is, it come in a bigger jar for ones like myself that have super thick hair. I wouldn't of been able to do my entire hair with just the 1 jar, way to small! Also, I would really like to see a highlighting cap included as it would have made it ... MoreThis is my first time ever trying this color in my hair, and this brand.

Also, I would really like to see a highlighting cap included as it would have made it easier to do rather than poking holes in a shower cap. Other than that, this would be beautiful as one whole color, or highlights! I will definitely be picking up a few more colors to try out too! If you're looking for hair dye that won't leave your hair stiff after using, I would absolutely give this a try!!

Pic 1: before using the Bleach Lightning Kit Pic 2: after using it. Did pretty good. Pic 3: after applying Heather. Pics 4/5: how the product looked in the bottle. Okay. First of all I just want to say, I have always loved Manic Panic products. However, when I received Heather it arrived slightly messed up. It was almost as if there were chunks of something inside the bottle. It could have been from the cold outside, or a bad batch. I don't know. I tried shaking it to get it to mix again with no results. I tried mixing it in the bowl before applying with no results. It was just going to stay chunky. As for application, it made my hair feel super smooth and nice, which I was not expecting as it was chunky. It saturated my hair very nicely and smelled really good. ... MorePic 1: before using the Bleach Lightning Kit Pic 2: after using it. Did pretty good. Pic 3: after applying Heather.

It's definitely a beautiful color if it came normally. It was supposed to be more purple thank pink, but as you can see it turned out more pink for me. It could be because of the residual blue I had in my hair. Regardless, it still turned out very pretty although it didn't stick to every strand. I think whatever chemical issue happened to the product caused it to lose its ability to thoroughly penetrate the hair shaft. Rinsing the product was a very pleasant experience. There was no staining or color fallout at all, even when shampooing. I was surprised. My hair also felt very silky smooth. I was very happy about that. All in all, I still love Manic Panic, but I am sad I received a defective bottle of Heather. It probably happened due to the extreme cold snap we had where I live though, so I can't blame the company. Thank you Influenster and Manic Panic for allowing me to try Heather.

Small Jar but Powerful Product for Perfect Peach

I have used this product three times now, so I am confident in my rating while writing this review!For reference: My hair is bleached blonde, level eight or nine after I bleach it, and slightly damaged from the frequent bleaching. I bleach and color my hair entirely myself, and I used an arctic fox blend of dyes before I switched to try this one.When this product arrived, I was worried about the size of the jar, but I tend to dilute conditioner to achieve a lighter, more pastel tone so I wasn’t too concerned. (But if you wanted a really intense color payout, be warned that the jar might not be long enough if you have medium to long hair length!!) I mixed a couple of tablespoons of the dye with enough conditioner to cover my hair length, applied it evenly with a ... MoreI have used this product three times now, so I am confident in my rating while writing this review!For reference: My hair is bleached blonde, level eight or nine after I bleach it, and slightly damaged from the frequent bleaching.

I mixed a couple of tablespoons of the dye with enough conditioner to cover my hair length, applied it evenly with a bleaching brush, put on a shower cap, and let it sit on my head for 4-6 hours.i’m very happy with the results of this product. He replaces the two arctic fox products I had to mix together in order to achieve the same effect. This is a much cheaper option, even with the smaller jar size. I have noticed that the color lasts a little bit longer than the Arctic fox mixture I was using before as well. please note that I work to achieve a more pastel toned look by diluting the dye with conditioner, so I cannot speak to how long the color would last straight out of the jar for an intense bright color look! Also please note that I wash my hair with color-safe products and lukewarm water to ensure the color doesn’t run down the drain.Every 6 weeks or so, I bleach my roots that have grown out and then re-dye the entire head pastel peach. I have done this 3 times as of this review, and I have 1-2 more “uses” left in the jar before I would run out. This is because I dilute the dye with conditioner, but I am happy with the length of time the product is providing me. The color fade slowly, but not as fast as I expected, which is very nice to see!Overall I am very happy with this product and I plan on re-ordering soon. And PLEASE never discontinue this gorgeous color of peach pink!!

The color is GORGEOUS, but left my hair dry

Mixed impressions. I am a long-time fan of Arctic fox. I usually mix my dyes with conditioner because my hair was so long and needed a LOT of product to make sure every inch was saturated. I only used a half of a pot of this (not diluted) on my faded purple hair. I had washed my hair with shampoo, no conditioner, let it dry, and applied the product. I left it in for about 45 mins. Washed it with just cold water until it ran mostly clear. When I got out of the shower I used a bunch of my normal color safe product. But my hair was left feeling super dry :( the color was absolutely to die for, if anything a bit darker than I was expecting. Ran on the purple side but that could be because of the color I had underneath. I nursed my hair for the following weeks, only ... MoreMixed impressions. I am a long-time fan of Arctic fox.

Ran on the purple side but that could be because of the color I had underneath. I nursed my hair for the following weeks, only washing with cold water, and eventually cut a bunch off because it continued to feel like straw from that point on. It fades much quicker than arctic fox, but is fading into a nice, not orange, lighter pink color.My deductions: goes a very long way, even on long hair, an absolutely beautiful and vibrant color, easy to work with, WOULD DEFINITELY MIX WITH CONDITIONER or use some high quality leave in after dying, fades pretty quickly, especially when washing frequently or swimming regularly (I only wash 2 times a week and it had faded pretty significantly by the second week), not too expensive considering the amount of use. Would not use this color on dark brown hair.I would mix this with an arctic fox pink to get this beautiful color with a longer stay and a better conditioning quality.

Way lighter than online images

I bought both the Amplified version & not because I didn’t know what the difference was. I wish the website would be more clear about that when there are multiple applications for the same color. The only difference in ingredients was castor oil in one & not the other. I ended up using the other one. When I saw the 2 painted on paper next to each other they were definitely not the shade pictured online - far lighter. The 2 applications looked fairly similar but not quite identical in color. I was planning on using more of this with LieLock highlights but went the opposite because this was so light. Would I buy this again? Maybe - if I were looking for a color lighter than the picture.
