MANIC PANIC Bad Boy Blue Hair Color - Amplified - Semi-Permanent Hair Dye - Dark Denim Blue Shade with Green & Grey Undertones - Vegan, PPD & Ammonia-Free - For Coloring Hair on Women & Men

So i’m pretty friggin ol’ skool. i used to buy this in its original incarnation at Trash and Vaudeville in NYC. in the late 70’s early 80’s ,it was the only place you could get it back then. skip ahead to today and they still do some of the best dyes around. the only reason one might choose something different would be based on a shade preference, which you could likely mix yourself with a bit of basic colour theory.the picture is after a few weeks of root growth, but the colour is awesome. the best part though is it glows under black light. well, maybe not the best part, but a bonus for sure!!! you willneed to bleach your hair to as light as possibleto get the best results, and a roottouch up with a little 29 vol peroxide bleach shouldget you to where a re-dye gives that perfectlook. i’ve got 40+++ years of using this stuff, and every colour i have ever done is worth it. don’t skimp on the bleaching step unless your ok with just a “sheen”.

not exactly the color i thought i’d get, but i ended up really liking it anyway. it looks different with indoor/outdoor lighting, so i included pics in both. all 3 pics were before my first wash as well. it definitely stains skin, bathroom, and even your nail polish lol. so wear gloves & be careful :) about 7-9 washes later (don’t remember), color is lighter but still strong! last photo is today.

item is a normal quality product. it's got the seal on it and got here in great time.

I have dirty blonde/ dark blonde hair naturally, so I didn't bleach my hair at all. I also only dyed the bottom 6-8 inches of my very long straight hair, going for a ombre look. First of all, the bottle doesn't look like the tub in the photo, it's more of a bottle. I believe it is still 4 ounces though.I have never dyed my hair or anything like that, so the first time I was nervous. First of all - USE GLOVES. I braided my hair in sections and applied the dye to my hair ends with my hand, working through the locks of hair to make sure to get it on most of the hair. I wasn't super picky and wanted a more fluid/ gradient look, but that would be different if you were doing your whole head. After the first application of about 6 inches worth of my kind of thin hair, I had used up maybe 1/5th of the bottle. After reading other reviews and watching some video reviews on youtube, I decided to let it sit in my hair for about 4 hours. Then I rinsed it really well in the sink. IT WAS REALLY BRIGHT! I loved it! I don't wash my hair every day, probably every 3 days, and it started fading noticeably after 1.5 - 2 weeks. The second time I dyed it, I did the same process, only I left the dye in overnight. The third time it was in for almost 24 hours (this was two days ago, my hair is totally fine). I don't think leaving it in longer makes it more bright, but I think it makes the staying power MUCH longer. After the second application it was probably like 75% gone after 3 weeks (of washing 2x a week). Keep in mind I have unbleached, virgin hair.One thing I want to mention is that the manic panic is VERY conditioning! It's great, it definitely doesn't wreck your hair at all. Also, lots of reviews mention the mess... Maybe it's different because only the bottom half of my hair is dyed, or maybe people aren't rinsing it thoroughly, but I have not had a problem with dyed towels, sheets, clothes, etc. As for the shower/ sink, it will get it s bit pink, but if you do a cursory clean right after you are done rinsing (I simply wipe it with a baby wipe), all the dye comes off.All in all, I would recommend this product, although I have nothing to compare it to. I didn't give 5 stars because I wish it would stay just a bit longer, a month maybe?

I had the most amazing green hair. I got so many compliments if you’re gonna go green I highly recommend you use this. It’s amazing. I started out just doing a little bit underneath and then I was like in love and did some on the top so I had green on the top underneath and black in the middle. I’m blonde now, but I’m definitely thinking about going back green.!!! This is the only dye that I would use. I tried to others and nothing came nowhere near the green that I got out of this💚

0- STARS. Did my daughters hair (dark blond natural with areas of natural lights) And it didn’t even remotely color any of it. Zero pigment. Zero color. Her hair is EXACTLY the same. Returned. Super disappointing product. And for those who gave some 5 stars I’ve looked thru, I’m sorry not to be rude but your color is patchy, low pigment and faded out on MOST of the pic reviews. I’m glad they are happy with it. But most of the colors look really.. bad. Maybe this isn’t a good product

I’ve never had such an issue with dye bleeding until using this. My neck and hands were constantly blue and bathtub stained. I ended up bleaching it out of my hair when it was the 7th time washing and it was like I had just dyed it.Stained my hair great though lol
