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.

"I always give praise to manic panic professional, one of my biggest draws was that not only was it vibrant and lasted forever without fading, but would also not bleed out. Unfortunately this new line does bleed out (use an old towel) and doesnt seem to last as long, i have to dye it about every 3 weeks and i only wash my hair 2x a week. Im quite sad that they moved away from the professional line. Please bring it back?"

"So i was using this color when it was the professional version. It lasted a very long time. Now this one seems to be the same but just a gel version as the other was. Now gel vs. Cream. Yeah its completely different. It seems thinner. Cream is thicker. So when using the gel. . . comb it through the sections you color. THEN add more. If not it will not saturate as well. Snd it could come out patchy. More is always better. Cream is definitely different. You don't necessarily have to add more after combing through the strands or sections yet i do it anyway. So gel is drippy. Definitely use on dry hair. Saturate. Leave on for hours. I get so many compliments from THIS particular purple color. More than the others. I color and leave on for hours almost all day before i wash it out. I use love power purple depositing conditioner. I don't wash my hair everyday. Every other. You can see my massive regrowth of dark brown hair yet the colored part is still bright purple. Everyone wants my secret. Now its here. Yes i bleach my hair. 2 to 3 times a year only. I use the depositing conditioner in the shower. Use gloves to apply btw."
