MANIC PANICClassic Rockabilly Blue Semi Permanent Hair Color - True Neutral Blue Hair Dye for Women & Men That Lasts 4-6 Weeks - Vegan, Ammonia & Cruelty-Free - Create & Mix Custom Shades (4oz)

I purchased manic panic colors in rockabilly blue, atomic turquoise and green envy. I wanted more blue but it turned out more green and that is okay, my fav color is green I was just scared to be all green lol My hair before was dark at roots and blonde bolyage more like copper hair “brazzy” did blue then turquoise and green on ends. Turned out pretty cool and mostly green with hints of blue here and there. Missed a couple spots but will buy more to cover those area. Really satisfied. I’ll update later on longevity. Put on clean dry hair for two hours then rinsed outside on grass. Stuff stains and I wore gloves so just my neck is stained.

So far I have used the Rockabilly Blue, Enchanted Forest, and Violet Night on my virgin light brown/gray hair without bleaching first. I first washed my hair with Prell to get all the residue out and rough up the hair shaft a little so it would take the dye well. I did not use conditioner. Then I applied the dye and left it on for 8 hours, under a plastic cap. I have fairly thin hair, so I was able to use just 1/2 a container. I rinsed the dye out thoroughly with warm water but did not immediately shampoo it out. I waited until it was totally dry before going to bed. This made sure the dye did not bleed onto the pillow. I didn't shampoo it until about 3 days later, and I always used a shampoo without sulfates. In each case, the dye faded somewhat but at 4 weeks it still looked pretty good. I then dyed it again. I am very happy with the results. I hope that if you try it this way, you will be happy with the results, too.

I’ve used this brand for years without a problem. This color was my only disappointment. It’s more of a sky blue. I even tried re dying it. Nope. Still to light.

Recently I have been dying my hair black and neon green. (I promise this is important to the context)In the past I have run into an issue across multiple brands of black dyes fading out to a jade-green tone, but thankfully this one (the shade Raven) seems to have more purple undertones!This has been perfect for me, as it stays wonderfully contrasting to the green over time, rather than sort of blending together as it fades.The two pictures I have added are quite a while apart, (the picture with the headphones was taken the day after dying it, while the maternity picture was taken about 2 months later) the black, while faded a bit, still looks black next to the green! I have only had to touch up the green during that time.

I’ve used manic panic many times on my daughter’s hair over the years. Last time we used rockabilly blue it turned out amazing. This time the dye barely took and looked terrible. I couldn’t figure out what happened. I bought another jar to try again and the second jar of the same color worked so much better. The texture was different as well. I’m wondering if I got a bad batch. The picture is both side by side. The one on the left is the good dye and the one on the right that says “Tish and Snookys” was the one that didn’t work.

It worked right away did leave hair frizzy

Before I get into the good, and bad I must inform that I did NOT bleach my hair, and for those who don't want to bleach it mine still came out nice. I have Light brown hair/ Dark blonde hair with my under layer already dyed black in the back from a year ago. I left the dye sit in for 3 1/2 hours in a shower cap while applying a heat pad on and off for those hours. I'll include photos mainly of the after, and 1 before the process.Pros:- It looks absolutely beautiful, I love this color blue.- Each rinse/wash it does fade, but it fades into a brighter blue for me.- It isn't "out there" it's a nice dark blueCons:- The major con that made me rate this 3 stars is that it bleeds onto my face and makes it blue. I find myself scrambling in the mornings before work trying to scrub the blue off my face/neck/ears and am constantly worrying that it rubbed off on my face again, and again while out of the house.- it stains my pillow when I sleep so I need a towel.- Stains my hands by just running them through my hair.- I kept rinsing my hair constantly because I thought it was because I didn't rinse it good enough.. But it's just the product. It rubs off onto my face and I hate that.- Stained my shirts (I have long hair) pretty bad, and it's noticeable.- 1st time I rinsed it out it was black with a slight blue tint. Needed to rinse it once, and wash it once in order to achieve a brighter blue.Overview:I might buy manic Panic again to give it 1 more chance, but a different color in hopes that it doesn't rub off onto skin so easily..but I am very hesitant to do so after my experience. I love that it is a vegan hair dye that's not tested on animals, and no chemicals, but they need to work on their formula so this does not happen. I read instructions on the bottle, and on some reviews to assure I did this correctly. I do love the look of this dye, but I think I will just have to get this permanently done by my local salon. My deal breaker with this product is how easily this rubs off onto anything it touches. It is extremely annoying.Also my camera unfortunately doesn't do justice with the blue in my hair. It is much brighter and more noticeable in person.

Just the color I want, but after washing my hair for 3-4 times, it turned into green lol
