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.

To exercise the access, data portability, deletion and correction rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:
• Sites: https://manicpanic.com
• Email: customerservice@manicpanic.com
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a twelve (12) month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
· Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and
· Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request to access, delete or correct within forty-five (45) days of its receipt, and to a verifiable consumer request to opt-out of selling or sharing their personal information or to limit use of their sensitive personal information within fifteen (15) business days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 45 days) to respond to a verifiable consumer request to access, delete or correct, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing within the initial forty-five (45) days after receipt of the verifiable consumer request.
If you have an account with us, our written response to your verifiable consumer request will be delivered through such account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. For data portability requests, we will select a format that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
Any disclosures we provide pursuant to a verifiable consumer request will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. If applicable, our response will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with your request.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request, unless such request is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will inform you of the reasons of such decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
