I am DYEing to get my hair an Enchanted Forest Green, but my mom is SO worried about it ruining my hair. I have only dyed it 2 times (fully) and both was done professionally. She complaines about the price, so I mention Manic Panic and she freaks right out complaining about how I SHOULDget it done professionally, then she goes on about it ruining my hair! It's cheap, it works, and this might just convince her.
Thanks!

What color is your hair now? To really get it the color I had it, you've gotta bleach your hair unless it's a blonde already. I've dyed/bleached my hair several times, and it's just fine. In fact using the manic panic over the bleached hair really helps it. Manic Panic doesn't do anything chemically to your hair, it's an all natural vegetable based dye. It's like a stain. I love how my hair feels after using the Manic Panic. Very soft and healthy. Good luck and make sure you let me know if you can convince her!

Wow I've been endlessly searching websites and DevArt to find the colour I want to dye my hair (It's my first time =]) I've fallen in love with the first one up from the bottom. It's marvelous.

I have some questions if you don't mind =X How long does the Manic Panic colour last? Because I would like somethign that lasts for a long time without re-dying, but does eventually come out so I can explore other colours such as yo have yourself.

Also I have a dark-ish brown hair, so I will also be needing to bleach =/ which frightens me, because I've been growing my hair for so long to get it to where it is, and I'm afraid of screwing it over and having to start form scratch >_< I can see from Pt.1 that you started with blonde, but what was your hair colour before that? And how much bleaching did it take?

P.S. (Not that it matters, but I would have liked to know myself) I'm a guy.

P.P.S. I'm sorry for bombarding you with questions =/ I hope you don't mind. Cheers!

By the first one up from the bottom, do you mean the second to last photo? That was actually Atomic Turquoise (from manic panic) over the top of the already faded Enchanted Forest

The Manic Panic lasts weeks in my hair. Everyone's different though, so you won't really know for sure how long it will last in your own until you do it. But I'd say at least 2 weeks. Some of the colors fade very nicely (After Midnight Blue) so I didn't mind not redying it right away.

When it comes to getting it all out to explore another color, that's a bit tricker depending on the color you want to try next. IF you're trying a color that's similar such as a blue or green) then you can easily dye right over the top of the current color. If you want to try a color that's on the opposite end of the color wheel (like a red/orange) then you'd have to probably re-bleach it to try and get the rest of the color out. There are tips on the Manic Panic website for getting out the rest of the color, so you might want to check them out. I've never personally tried them.

Since the blue lasted so long, my hair was still very blue when I needed to get it to a natural color for my job search. I just used a regular hair dye over the top of it. I used Blue Black from Garnier's 100% color line. Then later on down the road, the luster faded from that. I recently bleached out sections of the black to a blonde and redyed the rest black. I had the slightest green tinge to my hair because of the blue that was there previously, but it was more of a metallic green so it looked pretty cool. It's since faded though and now they're more blonde than green.

My natural hair color, which is what I bleached out when I first started, is a medium brown. I only bleached it once before I put the Manic Panic in.

Do you know of you have a Sally's Beauty Supply shop nearby? If so, go there and explain what you want to do. They'll be able to help you find the right products to get your hair at the right level. Or, if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, go to a salon and have them bleach it for you. Just make sure you tell them what you're planning on doing after it's bleached. Some places might even put the manic panic in for you. But some won't because it's a liability thing.

When it comes to putting the manic panic in your hair though, you really can't screw it up. It doesn't do anything chemically, so it's completely safe on your hair. I always leave it on for longer than the jar says, and I wrap my head in a plastic bag and add heat, which seems to make it stay longer. The less you wash your hair the longer it will stay in, and washing your hair in cool water will also help it last longer. If you use any product in your hair like gel or hairspray, that will make it fade faster.

Sally's Beauty Supply also carries Manic Panic products, so you should check there for the color itself. Make sure you ask about colors that they don't have but can order, since they don't always carry them all in stock.

I don't mind the questions at all. If you want to print off the picture to take it in and show them what you want done, or so you know what color to look for, feel free. And you better keep me updated on what you decide to do. Good luck!
