Manic Panic Cotton Candy Pink Amplified Hair Color 118ml

I'm always chopping and changing my hair colour, and this was the first time I used manic panic and I chose the AMPLIFIED AFTER MIDNIGHT BLUE DYE. The advice is always to pre lighten the hair, with bleach if needed. I decided against this has I had already pre lightened my hair (but not bleach) when I dyed it pink 4 month's ago. And couldn't be bothered to wait for the pink to totally fade and start right from the beginning. Blah, blah. Being an insomniac (and impatient) was an advantage for when trawling through the Internet and YouTube looking for advice on dying straight over the pink. The majority outcome was not to as it would be a yucky colour . But I found 1 video that did take that risk and it turned out beautifully. So I decided to take the plunge. I put on cheap plastic gloves (my advice is to use washing up gloves (I wish I had. And make sure that they are ones you won't want to use again lol)), which did tear hence my lovely blue hands. And smothered protelium jelly around my hairline and top of my ears. This is a messy process and preparation is everything. I emptied the contents into a bowel and added a squirt of WHITE coloured hair contiditioner just to lighten it a tad. And applied it starting at my roots. Once fully covered I got clingfilm piled my hair on top of my head and wrapped it in the clingfilm and left it for 3 hours (manic panic advice is 30 mins, but I've found for myself, the longer the better). As you can see (my pic's aren't the best as I'm not the most photogenic), the only way I can describe the outcome is WOW!!! WOW!!! It looks so much better in 'real life'. The blue obviously has attached itself to the pink and the rest of my virgin hair a blackish colour, which thankfully covered my natural sparkly bits. When I wash it next, I will use cool, even cold water, if I'm feeling brave and colour saving shampoo/conditioner. And in between washes dry shampoo (which is my new best friend and should be yours too), as every wash reduces the colour and vibrancy. So I wash my hair once or twice a week. I've had so many compliments the most I've had with any colour. I gave 3* stars for long lasting as I've only been blue a week, so time will tell. I would recommend this colour and brand, and I can't wait for when I try another colour in a few months x

It is a semi permanent dye so it will wash out considerably over time. I re dye my hair every couple of months (bleach the roots ect too so the colour is more vibrant), and have been doing so for nearly a year and my hair is still healthy so as far as damage goes it's very minimal.

good product make your hair feel nice but the colour isn’t shown properly it’s shown as a nice purple it comes as a very dark blue luckily i likes the blue but if i wanted that really nice purple i’d be pissed

I've been using the normal manic panic for years and never had an issue. But I decided to give the amplified version a go with the promise of long-lasting colour. Nope! I've never had colour wash out of my hair faster than this stuff. after the first wash it had faded a lot and after the second it had gone almost entirely. As I said, I've been using manic panic for many years so I know that I haven't messed up the dying process and I haven't washed it with anything that would strip colour. Found an old pot of the original manic panic and put that in my hair, still strong colour after 4 washes. the fact that this is more expensive and lasts nowhere near as long is ridiculous

I've used After Midnight multiple times now, either on my natural mid-brown hair, or on bleached ends. It always washes out into completely cool-toned shades, so it's perfect for getting rid of unwanted warm and brassy tones, which is what I've been using it for. On my natural mid-brown hair - it creates an amazing teal-green that changes in different lights. Comes out quite dark on the hair at first, but washes out and softens quickly. Hair just looks a cool-toned dark when you're away from the light, but in sunshine or bright light you can really see the teal green. I love that effect. On bleached hair - catches on exactly like the picture, a true blue, doesn't fade too quickly but when it does it's a silverish kind of denim blue first, which then turned into a tiffany's sort of green, but that was probably because the bleached blonde ends I had underneath were quite yellow. Each time I loved the end result and enjoyed the way the colour changed overtime.

Having normally been a fire red Crazy Color girl I wanted to try another brand to see if there was something better out there. I prefer the actual colour of Crazy Colour and I feel that it covers better and the colour lasts longer. In addition, this dye transfers onto my light grey hoody and also onto my light colour pillow case (does wash out fine) but I don't ever remember having the same problem with Crazy Colour. I'm changing my colour to paprika next week but when I go back red I think I would buy Crazy Colour. Tips for keeping red hair red: If you have dark hair, bleach to a light ginger colour first. Wash hair in cold water - colder the better. Don't wash your hair every day, or even every other day - once every 3 days is good and freshen up with dry shampoo in between washes, you will seriously struggle to maintain your colour if you wash everyday. After shampooing, mix conditioner with a good squirt of the dye and work through your hair and leave for 5 minutes or so - do this every time you wash your hair and it will keep your colour fresh. Use a good shampoo and condition for coloured hair - I used Tigi Bed Head Colour Goddess, the smell is utterly divine and I could eat my hair afterwards. So to sum up, if you've never used Crazy Colour you'd probably love Manic Panic as it is a good product but I personally prefer Crazy Color. Stupid selfie picture on the left is Crazy Colour, mirror selfie on the right is Manic Panic - I think Crazy Color is brighter.

This colour is brilliant. I’ve spent years using different shades of permanent purple “LIVE” hair dye and I was fed up with my ends going orange after a couple of weeks! I tried the manic panic purple tub dye a couple of months ago and it was great the tones of purple and blue were really good so I thought I’d try this one and it’s even better! I’ve got dark brown hair and the dark bits went purple and the lighter bits went electric blue. The colours blend really well through the different shades in your hair. I love it and for a temporary colour it lasts really well. Will be sticking with this dye from now on. Also there’s no nasty smell when you put it on and it doesn’t burn your scalp like other hair dyes do.

I swear by this dye, it works brilliantly on my dark blonde hair without bleaching beforehand and it very easy to apply. It can get very messy though - wear gloves and cover your surfaces! Also I reccomend putting vasaline around your hair line unless you want a red face. It does fade quickly with every wash, to prevent this wash it as little as possible in cold water. However, it will fade within 6 or 7 weeks and your hair will completely return to its original colour. The photo is of the day after I dyed my hair.

I asked it on heavily bleached hair and not a single share of purple is visible. Never trying it again. I really had high hopes because I've used it's blue box . Today blue also stained everything but atleast it coloured my hair. This purple bottle did absolutely nothing!!!!!

D'habitude j'utilisais les colorations LaRiche Directions ou Crazy Color mais elles dégorgeaient très vite et imprégnaient souvent mes oreillers, cols de vêtements etc. J'ai décidé de tester Manic Panic qui est légèrement plus cher et je ne le regrette pas. Après avoir décoloré j'ai appliqué la couleur Blue Midnight mélangée à une pointe de noir (Raven). La photo ne rend pas vraiment justice à la couleur. Comme j'avais une base blond jaune, le bleu a viré lentement à un bleu-vert canard, ce qui est normal et très joli. La couleur est hyper tenace, j'ai beau laver mes cheveux ça ne dégorge pas, ou à peine au niveau de la racine des cheveux. Pas de traces sur mes oreillers. Pour l'instant la meilleure marque de colorations fugaces que j'aie pu tester. Le prix un peu supérieur est justifié. De plus sur cheveux courts un pot peut faire deux ou trois colorations, pour peu que vous la mélangiez avec un peu d'après-shampooing.

great product

Pero definitivamente tienes que tomar en cuenta todo esto: A la hora de aplicar el tinte debes usar guantes, pero después pensarás que no tiene sentido alguno, ya que cuando te enjuagues el pelo, las manos se van a manchar exageradamente. No solo tus manos, sino tu regadera, o donde prefieras lavar tu pelo. Si decides lavarlo en la regadera como yo porque no tengo otra zona mejor para hacerlo, tus manos, espalda, piernas, pies, uñas! Etc. Van a teñirse de un tono rosa neón, porque este rojo esta hecho de rosa. Después tu toalla, tu ropa, los botes de crema que usas, tus frascos de skincare y todo lo que toques después de haberte enjuagado. Tus sábanas también! Y si abrazas a alguien pues también. Tu lugar del sillón y hasta la ropa interior, porque el pigmento te empapa y no se va tan fácil. Después pensarás que mañana te vuelves a lavar el pelo y será mejor, menos manchas, menos caos y menos drama. Pero NO! Será completamente igual o peor! Y hasta ahí llegué por ahora, una enjuagada después de teñirme, y una buena lavada de pelo con champú y acondicionador. Ya había usado Manic Panic pero en verde envy y no recuerdo este manchadero. Pero ya sabía cómo iba a ser esta experiencia de teñirme nuevamente con esta marca, y la verdad que con tanto caos hasta me he divertido. Hoy toda mi vida es rosa! Y no sé hasta cuando parará. Ayer estaba comiendo papitas con chile, y de repente me di cuenta de que también me estaba comiendo el tinte al chuparme los dedos. Supongo que eso no está bien. Ojo: Puedes lavar con cloro tu baño y se quita muy rápido y bien. A tus almohadas puedes vestirlas con playeras de algodón viejas y/o oscuras y no mancharás nada. Y puedes usar ropa negra o del tono de tu tinte. Es una aventura este tinte! No sé si lo usaría otra vez, y no sé si lo valga! Pero el tono era exactamente el que estaba buscando. *Sobre todo debes de tomar en cuenta que aunque sea vegano y cruelty free está hecho de muchos químicos que podrían generarte una reacción alérgica, así que recomiendo hacerte una prueba antes de teñir, y tener a la mano antihistamínicos por si acaso.

Listen. The colour is good. Pretty good. Honestly too good I would say. But it BLEEDS and STAINS like crazy. I recoloured my hair on Saturday and today is Wednesday and my hands are still pink. They got stained and then cleaned but this is the pink simply from combing my hair, not even obsessive running-my-hand-through-my-hair. So you need to prepare yourself mentally for the staining. This colour will get on everything till it gets washed out completely. It will get on your towel, it will get on your hairbrush, it will get on the back of the shirt you are wearing, it will get on your pillowcase, it will completely stain your back, your neck, your shoulders, your legs, your bathroom when you shampoo after applying the colour. So yeah, just know that you are making a commitment when you get this colour. You can see the photos of how the colour turned out on brownish black hair. The final colour will obviously depend on the level you've pre-lightened your hair to. It appears brighter outside and more grungy, muted dark red inside. Personally I absolutely loved how this turned out but I will not be purchasing again because of how much it stains. Super in love though, I'll be sad when this fades fully.
