Amplified Cotton Candy Pink Semi-Permanent Hair Dye (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

This stuff works like a dream. Doesn't start to fade for several weeks and works really nice on darker hair too.

this hair dye changed my life, i used crazy color before but it never really sticked to my hair and washed out easily. i love this never going back to crazy color since

Love the colour and last quite a while could be slightly bigger bottle.

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

Very beautiful vibrant colour, stains everything it comes in contact with so use carefully, wear gloves and an old tshirt! Now have a highlighter pink fingerprint on my bathroom door frame 🤦🏼‍♀️I managed to clean it enough that it’s subtle but it won’t go away. But it looks so good in my hair that I’ll be using it in the future and covering my bathroom in plastic covers and wearing a hazmat suit when I apply it 😂

Waste of money didnt touch my hair... i wanted a slight change of colour, but didnt want to bleach my hair which is mousey brown.. my hair has just got darker with no hints of blue but what's is left on my scalp... lol.. id recommend this but only on pre-lightened or naturally light hair...

Very vibrant hot pink colour 11/10 will be repurchasing

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!!!!!

Name brand (not a knockoff). Yes, amplified formula in tall bottle really is more vivid than the thinner solution in the tub. Bottle sucks though, too stiff to squeeze so you’ve gotta dump it in a bowl. It you haven’t dyed your hair bright before, bleach it first. Whether you have fresh bleach or not, put this color onto washed but not conditioned, and dry hair. Use latex or nitrile gloves (doctor or mechanic gloves) and prep your hairline and ears with Vaseline, wear crappy dark clothes - expect to get dye on your shoulders and arms. If it gets on your skin it can be scrubbed off with normal soaps but the longer it’s on, the harder to get off.Apply dye to hair like a leave in conditioner only more neatly, don’t be skimpy, or I you’ve done box dyes it’s the same concept - get it aaaallllll over every hair. Don’t panic about “wasting” dye left in the bottle, this stuff is shelf stable and doesn’t get all weird if you leave it like box dyes do... this isn’t mixed or blended at home, it really is like a conditioner. What’s in the one and only bottle is what goes on your hair, leftovers can be left in the bottle until you want to redye another day.Once applied, Leave on as long as you want, I recommend at least 45 min but I like to do over an hour. Wrapping your head with cling film will help keep it mess free as you go about your chores or whatever. In the shower it’s a total mess washing it off but that’s normal. Don’t bother washing or conditioning after it’s completely rinsed because this formula IS a conditioner.On bleached hair this color shows up really well and when it fades out it’s still cool. Every time you wash the color will fade, moreso if the water is hot. Hot tip, add some of this color to your conditioner (then leave in for as long as you can) for an anti-fade boost on wash days. It takes about two weeks so 3-4 washes from this to go from awesome hot pink to washed out faded pastel pinkish yellow on my bleached hair.I’ve tried a lot of other bright hair dyes over the decades and if you want cool color at home this (on bleached hair) is your best bet.

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.
