With Manic Panic, that is. =) I got the dye earlier this year to experiment with stripes etc., but it was too messy to try to do regularly. So I decided to just slap the rest of it on in one go. Result: really really dark blackish blue hair.

All in all, I'm pretty happy. :D I don't think I'll be going this type of blue again (probably not really the best shade for my skintone) but I'm enjoying the different colour. I might try red next time. :cool:

Oh, fun! I like it!

Wish I could do something like that. Unfortunately, blue is about the worst color on me. Green would be good, but putting green on red hair will just give me frog-butt brown.

That is an interesting colour. I always wondered what Manic Panic would look like on dark hair.

Anyway, your hair looks beautiful.

Manic Panic is one of my favourite 'fun' hair colours. I really enjoy the non-permanent-ness of it all, and the fun colours. Before my recent Hendigo I kept a blonde streak at my temple just so that I could colour it with Manic Panic, red, purple, pink, it was so fun! Good for you!

I like it! How long before it washes out? I really like the variations in the color; it looks so natural because of that!

Ooh, I thought Manic Panic was permanent, so I haven't gone near it. How awesome would it be to have a pink streak?

I really like how that looks.
My hair was green once, but looked blue in the light. It's my favourite kind of non-natural hair colour :)

That is glorious!
Ah, how I wish I could go back to purple and blue hair. Too much work!

I love the blue, and I am totally envious of those that manic panic sticks for.

Love it1 I did the same with mine only purple.

FWIW, Meaghan, pink won't show up unless you bleach first

Thanks! It probably won't stay in for very long; the last time it faded fairly quickly, and was out completely within a month or two. Which I can appreciate, since it lets me switch around more often, without having to worry that it'll stick to me too long. :)


Thank you all for the lovely words! :D

Aw, damn. Is there any colour that would show up on dark hair?

Oooh! I think the blue looks quite pretty! I love how deep it is and I think it complements your hair texture. :)

I think any of the darker colors would show up, like blue/purple/green, but if your hair is dark brown you will only get a tint. You may or may not get any results from red. Orange and yellow probably won't show up at all.

Pink is actually, in my opinion (along with blue), the trickiest color because you really really have to bleach it for it to look right. That's why my hair is purple. I did it blue a couple of times, but since it's light brown it faded to that green color that you got in your hair as a kid if you spent too much time at the pool without washing it :D

*girlish shriek* I love this ridiculous amounts! It looks amazing! You just dyed over your natural color, correct?

Verry cool indeed!
I have been tempted to try (the ad on the back of Nemi magazine is always winking at me) and i think you might have given me the last nudge I needed! :D
Now on deciding on the colour... :hmm::hmm:

I'm in the same boat, if it makes you feel any better. Always wanted pink hair, but temporary stuff won't show up on nearly black hair and the damage from bleach isn't worth it. *Sigh*

I just did my hair with Manic Panic too :) (rather post here than start a whole new thread):
So I first did a streak:

Turned out right, so I did many streaks (not my whole head):

It's not very visible! In the sun it is, so will take another picture.

My hair LOVES Manic Panic, my waves are back and my hair is soft and smooth again :)

I really like it, it looks very pretty Brianna, that bluish black color really suit you. But then your natural hair color is very pretty to. I have heard allot of good about manic panic dye, but I have never used that brand before. It is semi permanent is it not?

Thanks! My hair came pre-old-dyed (as you can see of the first picture; the ends are lighter) but I just slapped the Manic Panic on top, yes. No bleach involved. :)

I can identify with this. ;) I got the colour from Dragens Hule myself, though as I recall their selection is a bit limited.

Thank you! :D The dye is semi-permanent, yes. Actually, the colour bleeds very easily on me. I wouldn't have used it at all if I didn't know it was going to fade away completely.



Thank you so much, everyone! :flower:

That looks lovely, I adore unusual colours like that. :) Stargazer are also wonderful for that sort of shade- I dyed my hair purple during my summer holiday and revelled in it (although sadly it didn't last long).

THIS IS SO GREAT ! I love it ! I thinked about dying my hair pink with manic panic earlier this year, but I wonder if it takes a long time to wash it out completly ?

I like the blue. I've always wanted the courage to dye my hair a non-conventional color; it seems like it would be fun.

Wow, looks great! Don't be surprised if it goes a little greenish before fading away completely. My friend used the dark blue on dark blond hair and she was green for a couple weeks. It was still cool though!

I just did a couple of red Manic Panic streaks yesterday. It's so fun. :D
