We’ve got answers! Whether you’re a hair dye virgin or a total dye hard, we’ve got all the pointers you need to get the Instagram-ready color of your dreams.
Because we’re the OGs in colorful vegan and cruelty-free hair color. But if that’s not reason enough, our hair colors are free of harsh chemicals and fortified to condition your hair while you color. With each Manic Panic® color, you can get the DIY look without the damage. That’s color without compromise!
Before coloring your hair, you should perform a patch or strand test with your hair color or bleach to make sure you don’t have any allergic reactions. You can also see if you like the color before coloring your hair all over!
Yes and no. Some of our colors (especially neons, UVs, and pastels) work best on a pre-lightened base. If you want our signature intense color, we recommend lightening your hair to at least a level 7+ blonde. But we also have colors that give gorgeous colorful tints to dark hair. Each product on our website comes with hair swatches so you can see before and after results on light and dark hair.
Your base color is SUPER important since it affects the appearance of tones. If you apply blue pigment on top of a yellow-toned blonde, the results can veer toward a more teal or green hue. The whiter the hair, the truer the color tone. Before you color your hair blue, watch a tutorial by Mykey O’Halloran on how to avoid green tints!
Our semi-permanent formula lasts for about 4-6 weeks. But stronger formulas (like our Amplified collection) last longer because they contain 30% more pigment.
If you want to fight the fade for longer, we have color-safe shampoos and conditioners made specifically to maintain our hair colors. Use cool water when shampooing and try to wash hair only once a week (the more you wash, the faster the color fades). We also have dry shampoo to keep your color fresh on days when you skip a wash.
February 17, 2026Manic Panic launches “Inter-Gel-Actic,” a hair color collection, with its first-ever complete DIY Box Set.
Inter-Gel-Actic is a new, highly pigmented, semi-permanent gel formula crafted for everything from effortless at‑home DIY color to bold, professional‑grade, vivid hair.
It’s infused with key ingredients that moisturize, smooth, and boost hydration for a glossy finish, plus vegan lactic acid to strengthen, soften, and lock in color.
The ‘space-age gel’ consistency makes it easy for anyone to master the art of DIY color, while the stay-put pigment has minimal bleed or transfer, allowing for a more controlled application for artistic creations.Beauty Packaging: Manic Panic Introduces New Space-Age Color Collection
February 17, 2026Manic Panic, a veteran hair dye brand launched in 1977, offers vivid hair colors and 100% vegan, cruelty-free formulations. Its newest collection, Inter-Gel-Actic, consists of five highly pigmented semi-permanent gel dyes in the colors Pink Warrior, Celestine Blue, Red Velvet, Divine Wine, and Love Power Purple.
The collection is Manic Panic’s first completely DIY box set and aims to make at-home hair coloring more accessible and achievable. The box set includes a semi-translucent high-pigmented gel formula with minimal bleed or color transfer, making at-home application “easy to master.” The box set also features essential coloring tools such as a brush, bowl, gloves, and a shield barrier cream
The collection’s vivid color palette aligns with Pinterest’s 2026 beauty forecasts for bold colors and eccentric makeup. Manic Panic’s alien-inspired branding also follows the predicted trend of “extra celestial” aesthetics.
In December, the brand also released their “Aging Disgracefully” collection as a “love letter to everyone still raising hell and looking fierce doing it,” says co-founder Tish Bellomo.Personal Care Insights: Manic Panic and Beetles introduce DIY color-forward collections

February 16, 2026Indie hair color brand Manic Panic has new hair color on the launchpad: Inter-Gel-Actic, a highly-pigmented semi-permanent gel formula.
Founders Tish and Snooky Bellomo said they are “crossing into a whole new dimension of hair color, beyond the traditional semi‑perm vivid color creams, which Manic Panic landed in NYC nearly 50 years ago.”
The semi‑translucent gel is infused with ingredients said to moisturize, smooth and boost hydration as well as vegan lactic acid to strengthen, soften and lock in color. The gel format allows for application to damp hair, speeding up the application routine, according to the brand. The no-mix formula does not require developer.
The new line makes its market debut in Manic Panic’s first complete at-home box set. The DIY box kits include two 2 oz. recyclable and resealable aluminum tubes of color, reusable coloring tools (brush, bowl and gloves) and a 20 ml supply of Stellar Shield Barrier Cream.Happi: Manic Panic Releases Inter-Gel-Actic Semi-Permanent Hair ColorAt-home kit includes gel format in recyclable and resealable aluminum tubes with reusable tools.

February 16, 2026Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Manic Panic just dropped their latest bombshell—Inter-Gel-Actic™. This isn't your grandma's semi-permanent dye; it’s a high-octane gel that claims to transcend traditional boundaries in home hair coloring.
Now, if you’ve been paying attention to the beauty market lately, you'll know that DIY hair color kits have exploded like popcorn in a hot pan. But what separates this launch from the rest? Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of these offerings and what they mean for both consumers and competitors.
While we’re missing some hard figures—like projected sales or EPS numbers—the very nature of introducing an entirely new product line hints at serious financial ambition. The phrase “crossing into a whole new dimension” isn’t just fluff; it signals Manic Panic’s intent to broaden its market share significantly.
This could be pivotal in solidifying their dominance against competitors like Arctic Fox or Lime Crime, who are also eyeing the vibrant hair dye niche. In financial terms, when companies innovate, they often do so to capture market segments that their competitors have left vulnerable—think price wars on inferior products versus premium lines that offer better quality.Investors Hangout: Manic Panic's Inter-Gel-Actic™: A Cosmic Color Revolution
February 16, 2026Back in New York, I got a job at Betsey Johnson’s boutique because she knew me. Then I picked up a Christmas job at Macy’s. A friend of mine brought in her friend, George, from Cambridge, Massachusetts. I was wearing a dark brown wig to cover my purple hair courtesy of Manic Panic on St. Marks Place. I was nervous and talking a mile a minute, but he got my phone number and called.

January 23, 2026“There’s long been this unspoken expectation that at a certain age, we should just fade quietly into the scenery,” said Snooky. “But that’s never been the Manic Panic way.” Instead, the brand famous for Angela Chase’s red bob on My So Called Life and Clementine Kruczynski’s orange curls in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind leaned into the message with “Aging Disgracefully,” a curated collection of “amplified” dyes with 30 percent more pigment than the brand’s typical formulas, which look best on grey or white hair.
Neon tresses were once an office no-no for most professions. But after athleisure conquered the workplace — and anti-discrimination laws were more strictly enforced by HR departments — a few lilac streaks in the boardroom aren’t quite as unusual, especially in a hybrid work environment. Meanwhile, rainbow hair’s original fans — 1970s punks and 1990s teens — are now in their fifties, sixties and seventies, making them senior enough at work to buck convention, if they’re still showing up at the office altogether. “Generation X, the latchkey kids, the DIY masters, the ones who taught themselves how to thrive, grew up fast and learned early on to march to their own beat,” said Tish. “Then life happened. The Great Recession hit, responsibilities piled up, and many found themselves pushed into conformity by jobs, family, and the grind of survival.” One pandemic and several political lunatics later, Bellomo says her older shoppers are saying “f*** it” and returning to their neon roots.

January 20, 2026My beauty look in 2016 took the residuals from the height of twee (thick cat-eye eyeliner, blunt bangs) and added a lot of dark lip experimentation.

Considering the fact that hair must be bleached before applying this dye, its gentle ingredients come in very handy in controlling the damage. Since it is a temporary blue hair dye, it lasts long enough. It starts fading after 3-4 weeks, and by this time, it has given you value for your money. Its affordable price is another reason why this dye is worth buying...Manic Panic Bad Boy Blue – Best Blue Hair Dye Overall This brand tops most reviews simply because of its staying power and the bright blue color it has. When dyeing your hair, you want colors that last long before fading, and this particular cream gives exactly that. Of course, people who wash their hair frequently will not get the most use out of this cream. Since it is a semi-permanent dye, it does not contain harsh ingredients such as ammonia that are known to be harmful when used long term. In line with their mission to be a cruelty-free brand, the manufacturers of this cream have only included vegan ingredients. They have also packed it with moisture that stays locked in hair strands. This makes it the best semi permanent blue hair dye. Because most blue colors can be very harsh on hair, it is a relief to find one that is gentle but also vibrant.Fab Extensions: Best Blue Hair Dyes for Dark Hair and does not Bleed
