Manic Panic semi-permanent hair dye fades gradually over 4-6 weeks. For optimal results, use on pre-lightened locks. Careful management will extend the lifespan of any hair dyeing treatment, such as using sulfate-free shampoos and deep conditioners to keep hair hydrated and hydrate with deep conditioners. Avoiding the overuse of heat styling tools will also extend its longevity.
How to apply
Manic Panic semi-permanent hair dye comes in vibrant and bold colors. Its non-damaging formula does not contain ammonia or PPD and contains natural ingredients such as plant extracts and vegetable dyes to hydrate your locks while protecting their color.
Before applying any color to your hair, it is recommended to use a clarifying shampoo and then dry your locks thoroughly afterward to ensure all bleach traces have been eliminated. In addition, gloves should be worn when handling the dye mixture to avoid getting it in your eyes or other parts of your skin, and coconut oil around the scalp and hairline can provide additional protection from the dye mixture.
Depending upon your hair type, the dye can last up to 20 washes before beginning to fade away with each wash. Therefore, taking good care in handling and shampooing less frequently while using conditioner or dry shampoo in between washes can extend its longevity and expand its use as long as possible.
What to expect
Manic Panic hair dye is one of the gentler options on the market. But just like all colors, its intensity will eventually fade over time and need refreshing. To extend its longevity and use for as long as possible, use only sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner and frequently avoid using heat styling tools.
Protecting your hair from UV rays is also crucial, as UV radiation can break down dye pigments faster and cause them to fade more quickly. A shower cap is an ideal way to do this. After carefully rinsing with cold water and removing all product residue, apply your favorite conditioner sparingly as necessary. Be mindful not to overdo it; too much conditioner can weigh down your hair! Dry and style as usual afterward – how your hair fades will depend on various factors; bleached hair tends to hold its color longer than unbleached locks, so try different colors until you find what works for you!
Preparation
Manic Panic only coats your strands and does not penetrate the hair cortex, so its vivid hues gradually fade with every wash. To extend their vibrancy longer and prevent dry and brittle locks, use clarifying shampoo before dye application and avoid harsh shampoos; using one instead can help raise their longevity and help prolong their vibrant colors for longer.
Also, avoid direct sunlight as UV rays break down pigments quicker, leading to faster fade-off times. To achieve optimal results from coloring, we advise using our Prepare To Dye Clarifying Shampoo 12-24 hours before your coloring session. Its special blend of nourishing and clarifying ingredients provides a clean base to adhere to. It will also remove any oily or sticky residue left by previous products used on your hair – an especially essential step if you have used high-lift dye or bleach products in the past.
Application
Manic Panic semi-permanent hair dye lasts 4-6 weeks on average and fades over time; to extend its life further, you must focus on aftercare – such as spacing out shampoos and, using products specifically made for color care, and avoiding heat styling.
This hair dye features the ability to quickly identify and adhere to hair fibers. Its pigment molecules mimic those present naturally, providing long-term color intensity. Furthermore, this formula includes moisturizers to promote healthier locks.
For optimal results, use Manic Panic hair dye on dry hair for best results. Although the paint might look patchy or less vibrant on wet locks, its colors will settle more thoroughly when your tresses have dried completely. Also, try not to wash your locks too frequently, as doing so will fade the color faster; washing with cold water instead of hot should work better!
