FAQ: Do I have to pre-lighten my hair before coloring?

Applying Manic Panic hair color to pre-lightened hair is the best way to assure that you will achieve the vibrant results that you see on our color swatches. Lightening with our Flash Lightning Kits to a pale blonde (level 9-10) will give the most intense results.

instructions

How to Dye Your Hair:

1. Wash hair with a deep cleansing/clarifying shampoo. Do not condition.

2. Dry hair with a blow dryer to make sure the hair is extremely porous.

3. Put on gloves and apply Manic Panic Hair Color using a tint brush making sure hair is thoroughly saturated.

4. Comb through the hair color to make sure it is evenly applied. The cream may become slightly frothy.

5. Cover hair with a plastic cap and leave on for 30-45 minutes. For more intensity, add heat.

6. Rinse with cool water away from your face and body until water runs clear. Do not shampoo.

7. Style as desired. To prevent color transfer or bleeding, always make sure your hair is completely dry.

Pro Tip:

Use a hair dryer to evenly apply heat for 5-10 minutes of your processing time. This will help to open up the cuticle and allow the Manic Panic hair color to better penetrate the hair strand. Make sure to allow the hair to cool completely before rinsing out color.

Mystic Heather - Review and Tips
After lightening my hair to about a 7 in the darkest areas and a 9 in the lightest (my roots were probably a 9 after toner), I applied Mystic Heather to my hair. I did not dilute with conditioner (like some people do in many tutorials I've seen), I used the full strength dye.I have really thick hair a couple inches or so past my shoulders and I needed 2 pots to cover my head, but 3 would have been better since I missed some spots. After bleaching my poor hair was thirsty and it basically drank up all the color. I let it process for 30 minutes and then washed it. I love how it looks. I do need to go over it again to fix the bits I missed, but I love it. The color came out more pinkish than purple, but I like the color.My suggestion: Pay close attention to the instructions and watch Tish and Snooky's video on manicpanic dot com. Make sure you get the hair color frothy. If you can, use your hands to touch your hair to be sure it's not dry in areas that might get clumped together. Sectioning it off in small bits helps with this if you have a lot of hair. Buy more color than you think you will need, in case you miss a spot and need to go over your hair again.I added photos. For some reason the front of my hair processed differently than the rest and I tried to show that. The diptych photo is my hair in natural light right after coloring.----Edit!I wanted to come back to my review to let you know how the color has faded and some other tips I have found out. Hopefully this will help the next person looking for info. I found it very difficult to find reviews and help for Mystic Heather.So after my review I touched up the areas that I had accidentally missed, and then let it fade for a little over a month. On the top where my roots are, the color stayed purple-y, it just got a bit lighter. On the length, it faded down to a pastel pink. On the darker areas that had processed to a 7 and had some orange-y tones, the hair turned that really pretty rose-gold color that it getting popular now. I was pleased with that. In the areas that I'd managed to get down to a 9 the color turned a silver-y pink. All over, it looked like a pastel pink and purple ombre.I shampooed as little as possible with the help of dry shampoo. My hair and scalp is naturally very dry and I live in a dry climate so I can go about 2 weeks without my hair looking or smelling bad as long as I keep it clean and maintained. I don't usually go that long between shampoos, but if I do it helps my color look better for longer.I shampoo my hair like this: I take conditioner (usually a thick deep conditioner) and put it on my ends and length. The I take as little shampoo as I can and use that at the roots, then rinse. Then I go back over that with more conditioner.I recently touched up my color and this time I left the color on for almost 3 hours instead of 30 minutes and it turned my hair a deep purple. Almost eggplant/aubergine color but a little more pink. I love it and I think it looks great. The darker color is helping to disguise my dark dark roots. My roots are very dark chocolate brown and I have a tiny bit of grey. The purple barely affects the roots and grey but it does blend in and make the roots look a little less unsightly. I'm trying to go as long as I can between touching up my roots so anything that helps is a good thing.Now when I color my hair, I allow myself 2 days to do it. Because I always inevitably miss a spot. I don't know about anyone else but I have a lot of hair and I'm not a professional colorist so somehow I end up missing something somewhere and I don't see it until I'm done and the hair is dry. So I buy 3 pots and use the first 2 on the first day to cover my whole head (I do my length first because it takes longer to process than the roots. By the time I am done getting my length covered, they've already been processing 15-20 mins when I get to the roots) and then dry it and take note of the spots I miss. Then I use the 3rd pot to color the bits I forgot about and leave it on the same amount of time as the first.I rinse in the coolest water I can stand (if you stick your head in the tub or sink instead of showering, you will find you can stand cooler water since its not hitting your whole body) and I put a deep conditioner over it.I have experienced much less breakage and fallout with Manic Panic than any other hair color I have ever used. Including the bleach! Usually with box dye and even salon coloring, my hair breaks or falls out badly. With Manic Panic, I have no breakage and very little fallout, other than what's normal to find on your brush or when shampooing. When I rinse out my color I might lose a couple of hairs down the drain and that's it. When I brush my hair, very little hair comes out. Before I used Manic Panic, I'd have a ton of hair in my brush, on the floor, etc. When I shampooed, I'd have fistfuls of it coming out. No kidding! Not anymore. I absolutely love Manic Panic.The color does not last long, and almost every experience is a surprise because your color depends on so many outside factors (this is the fun part for me but I know others want a result they can predict and I understand that) but I can tell that this is a much more healthy option for my hair than other color brands I've tried.

    I shampoo my hair like this: I take conditioner (usually a thick deep conditioner) and put it on my ends and length. The I take as little shampoo as I can and use that at the roots, then rinse. Then I go back over that with more conditioner.

    I recently touched up my color and this time I left the color on for almost 3 hours instead of 30 minutes and it turned my hair a deep purple. Almost eggplant/aubergine color but a little more pink. I love it and I think it looks great. The darker color is helping to disguise my dark dark roots. My roots are very dark chocolate brown and I have a tiny bit of grey. The purple barely affects the roots and grey but it does blend in and make the roots look a little less unsightly. I'm trying to go as long as I can between touching up my roots so anything that helps is a good thing.

    Now when I color my hair, I allow myself 2 days to do it. Because I always inevitably miss a spot. I don't know about anyone else but I have a lot of hair and I'm not a professional colorist so somehow I end up missing something somewhere and I don't see it until I'm done and the hair is dry. So I buy 3 pots and use the first 2 on the first day to cover my whole head (I do my length first because it takes longer to process than the roots. By the time I am done getting my length covered, they've already been processing 15-20 mins when I get to the roots) and then dry it and take note of the spots I miss. Then I use the 3rd pot to color the bits I forgot about and leave it on the same amount of time as the first.

    I rinse in the coolest water I can stand (if you stick your head in the tub or sink instead of showering, you will find you can stand cooler water since its not hitting your whole body) and I put a deep conditioner over it.

    I have experienced much less breakage and fallout with Manic Panic than any other hair color I have ever used. Including the bleach! Usually with box dye and even salon coloring, my hair breaks or falls out badly. With Manic Panic, I have no breakage and very little fallout, other than what's normal to find on your brush or when shampooing. When I rinse out my color I might lose a couple of hairs down the drain and that's it. When I brush my hair, very little hair comes out. Before I used Manic Panic, I'd have a ton of hair in my brush, on the floor, etc. When I shampooed, I'd have fistfuls of it coming out. No kidding! Not anymore. I absolutely love Manic Panic.

    The color does not last long, and almost every experience is a surprise because your color depends on so many outside factors (this is the fun part for me but I know others want a result they can predict and I understand that) but I can tell that this is a much more healthy option for my hair than other color brands I've tried.

    So I need to preface that I’ve been doing my own hair at home for a while. I went from a faded purple that I then stripped, then applied this color and oh my goodness it’s so vibrant. I dyed my hair July 26th, and today is October 16th for an idea (and I’ve only dyed it once which was in July. It still is SO vibrant. It faded to a magenta color but I still get so many compliments on my hair.

    Some things to keep in mind:
    - it will stain. If you get it in your tub, let some spray bleach sit on it, it will take it out. If you stain your skin, it can wash out after a few attempts or you can use rubbing alcohol.

    - even now my hair still bleeds when washing it after dying it 3 months ago, so just keep that in mind.

    - you’ll have a more vibrant effect if you have a lighter base and it will stick a million times better on pre-lightened hair. It won’t stick to virgin hair well. Your hair doesn’t have to be blonde in order to get a vibrant result but the lighter it is, the better the result will be. (Don’t melt your hair trying to achieve my color, I’ve done a number on it within the last year and I’ve been using bonding treatments to get my hair to where it is)

    Overall, I absolutely am wowed by how long this color has lasted. It truly is a beautiful color and prior to this, I had arctic fox dye on my hair and it washed out after 5-6 washes. I also don’t wash my hair every day. I’ll wash it twice a week so that will help with the life of your hair color but even so, I’ve never had a dye last this long especially a semi permanent. If you’re looking for a fun color, I highly recommend manic panic. Just PLEASE prepare for staining. Any fashion color is bound to stain. Make sure you’re able to either a. Deal with it until it fades off your skin or b. Take precautions before and/or after applying the dye.

    The color is amazing! It lasted months, and while faded still leaves my hair a very nice pink color. I did have an allergic reaction while dying my hair, so I urge you to remember to do a patch test. I dyed it in early August and it didn't start fading until late October. One thing I will note is that this color will stain your clothes bad. I couldn't wear white for a WHILE without my hair up. If you wear lots of red and black it won't be too big of an issue, but if you wear lighter colors prepare to have stained collars.

    Be warned, if your hair is super blonde it will make the color super vibrant and red. Which I guess is excepted. Thought it would be a little darker but it’s not horrible. Nice smell, doesn’t feel like it ruined my hair, and overall just a very nice brand.

    So glad I found this dye. I have thick hair that doesn't hold colour very well and I have tried several colours from MP and several blue shades, but this one holds in my hair the best. I never retouch it because it stays so long. It fades like any MP dye, but because this dye stains so well, I never see my bleached hair peak through the fading process like I do with other MP dyes. It stays bold and look like it kind of changes colour rather than loses colour in my opinion. Very impressed.

    Muy buen producto, el color es vibrante y dura más de lo esperado. El verde es precioso, en cámara se ve con un tono turquesa, pero juro que en persona es mucho más bonito y con un color verde oscuro mucho más intenso. Yo antes ya llevaba 2 de coloraciones en el pelo, ha quedado muy bien.
