Review: Worked surprisingly well on unbleached/undyed medium brown hair - I used this product on my daughter's medium brown, unbleached/undyed hair. Most hair color charts place her natural hair color as a level 5. She really wanted her hair to be the same magenta/fuschia color as the character she wanted to be for Halloween (Mal from Disney's Descendants 2, hair is more pink in this movie, where it was purple in the first). I did quite a bit of research first, and chose this based on reviews and photos from other customers. The Manic Panic website also recommended the Hot Hot Pink (and a few others) for unbleached hair as opposed to other colors, so I would stay with their recommendations. I was worried that the color wouldn't show up at all in her hair, and she hates the spray on hair color (which may wash out, but is full of aerosolized chemicals, and I don't like my kids inhaling that stuff). This item had no chemical smell at all. My daughter's hair is typically more towards the oily side (as much as it can be for an 8 year old, for an adult, it would be considered neither oily nor dry). However, she spent a considerable amount of time in the pool this summer, which did dry out the length of her hair somewhat. This may have allowed the dye to penetrate better, despite this being months ago. The dye did seem to adhere just as well to the roots. I rinsed her hair with diluted apple cider vinegar first, while it was still dry, and rinsed well. Then I blow-dried it completely. After thoroughly coating her hair with it, I blow-dried her hair again for about five minutes, put it in a plastic cap, and left it on for a little over 2 hours. I put a towel over the cap as well to keep in heat, and blow-dried it again for another five minutes before rinsing. I had no issues with rinsing it in the shower... it did not turn her back pink while rinsing. I used vaseline around her hairline and had no problems with staining. Since then, there has been the usual issues of staining of pillow cases (and also her forehead, which has acquired a pink tint in the past few days because she has bangs. Nothing worse than expected. The color is still the same a week later (which surprises me, I now wonder if she'll have pinkish hair at Christmas, because I expected at least a little fading within days). When her hair was first rinsed, I worried at first that the color didn't take. But when I started drying it, I was astonished. Because her hair was darker, the hot hot pink color showed up almost the exact same fuschia color as the character's. My daughter was thrilled, and while the process probably took about 3 hours plus, I didn't have to spray her hair full of noxious smelling spray, which I'd have had to wash out on Halloween night when we were both exhausted, and she is just beside herself. Her school has no dress code issues with hair colors, so I don't have to worry about that being an issue. It's incredible that this showed up with her hair being darker. I would buy this product again.
Review: Vampire red over old semi-perm blue, no bleach! - For some unknown reason, I thought it would be fun to dye my hair two shades of blue for the Fourth of July trip we were planning to take to South Padre. As you can expect it did not go well and I could not get rid of it!!! Color oops would not work, and I tried clarifying shampoo after clarifying shampoo. I didn’t want to put bleach in it so I thought thought well. I will just try to go over it with red since that is the color I typically dye my hair anyway. To my surprise, it colored the ugly blue, although it did make a bit of an ombré as it got darker toward the middle and end, so it almost looks black. Nonetheless I’m glad it is not blue so I am perfectly fine with it. No bleach, just 2 bottles of straight vampire red. I did cover it with two Walmart bags while it processed and fell asleep in it. Nothing happened. It actually seemed to make it softer. I will say that this was a month ago and it is still bleeding red to this day in my shower, so keep that in mind! Lol I don’t care because I am so glad it is no longer blue!!!! I hope my review was able to help you make your decision, have a great day!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My new favorite brand!
*by R***I on December 9, 2019*

Short version: I love this dye, and plan on still buying it from now on! It's pigmented for a while and needs to wash out a bit, as it does bleed for the first 2 washes. It makes me hair feel smooth and nice, no damaging at all! Overall, very nice! Long version: I don't really know WHY so many people were saying the color didn't stick in their hair... It sure did for me! I will say though, it was VERY pigmented for the longest time. I've been dyeing my hair for almost 2 years, so I relatively know what I'm doing and how to treat my hair after a fresh dye. Even after washing it as needed right after dying my hair, it was bleeding SO MUCH. It was all over the back of my neck and even got on my face when I fell asleep on my hair. I ended up having to wash my hair a couple more times a couple days after dying to get all the pigment out of it. As for people saying blue was everywhere in their shower, to me, that's always been a normal thing for semi-permanent hairdye. It, indeed, was blue everywhere, but it rinses off the shower walls very easy with some hot water. Never had a problem with it. Another big reason why the blue washes out of MY hair is because my hair is pretty bleached from over bleaching it months ago, and I only mention that because it caused my hair to not want to hold in any color. Even with this issue for me, after a few washes, my hair is still really really blue and not fading a whole lot. Overall, I love this brand, and I plan to keep buying this!
