My hair, from most recent MANIC look to when it was long brown.

My Manic Panic look

When I decided to re-bleach my hair this past time I used the same product I did back in September. Manic Panic Flash Lightening hair bleach.

The first time I left in it in my natural un-dyed hair for about 60 minutes and it took me to a shade of yellow blonde. After that I used a color through Ion to make my hair look more natural blonde. I liked it but was worried that I wouldn't like it so quickly dyed it to a very dark deep red shade.

By the end of October I was ready for a change and decided to bleach out the color again but instead of making my hair a yellow blonde it turned orange. That's what happens when you use a dye with red highlights or if you have natural red highlights same thing still can occur. As it turns out all I needed was to keep in the bleach just a little bit longer and I would have achieved the desired shade of blonde, but I didn't realize that at the time.

Over the past two weeks I have been slowly taking out the orange color in my hair with the thanks of Head and Shoulders shampoo, and Sun-In hair lightening product. Finally I was ready for a fun change and I had ordered all my new Manic Panic hair color from Sally Beauty, Red Passion that is an amazing shade of pink and Virgin Snow which is white. I first put in the Virgin Snow and it only lightened my hair up a little bit. Now looking back at the photos I don't believe it changed the color at all. Frustrated by this attempt I went out to my local Sally Beauty store to pick up more Manic Panic bleach and then headed home after some shopping. It was officially time to have some fun, though I knew that after a third time bleaching my hair in three months, my hair would be fried afterward.
First I mixed up the bleach and then it was time to apply it to my hair.
I left in the bleach for about an hour because I was worried after three times bleaching my hair would surely fall out and I would be in tears with no hair left on my head. But as it turns out I have very strong hair and strong roots because my hair has grown out so much since my hair cut in September.
Then it was time to get the dye ready once the bleach was rinsed out and my hair was clean and mostly dry. I first wanted to have a beautiful main layer of white so I first applied the Virgin Snow Manic Panic hair color. I decided to use heat to help the color take hold of my hair. I left the color in my hair for about 90 minutes, then washed it out.
Then it was time to prepare the Red Passion Manic Panic hair color. I didn't need to use very much of the color because I just did the tips of my hair this time. Once the color fades I plan on doing different strips of color or colors. Or who knows, perhaps I'll mix the color with some white and make a beautiful pink out of it. As it turns out there are other colors I would love to try like Cotton Candy Pink, Mystic Heather purple or Vampire Red.
I left the color in my hair for about fifteen minutes, I used heat on the bottom portions of my hair and today I did a little bit more of the upper portion of hair and used some foil to make sure it wouldn't get on the bottom parts of my hair. Next time if I just do my tips I'll do the bottom only.
Overall I am very happy about the results. Manic Panic gets a 5 out of 5 points for best colors, bleach and other fun things that they sell like cosmetics. Manic Panic gets a 4 out of 5 for price of their products, as I would probably buy more if it wasn't as expensive. However I'm lucky to have a Sally Beauty card so I am fortunate to be able to purchase some of the Manic Panic products through their store and that does save me some money. The white didn't look as intense as it would have if I had not bleached as much before, my roots and where the hair has grown out took to the white much better and as far as I feel, it looks beautiful to me. White and pink look very pretty together. And even if my hair does look a little blonde instead of pure white, it's a long way away from how orange it looked weeks ago. So, you tell me. What do you think of my look? I think I love it! Thank you Manic Panic for making wonderful product that I love so much! I can't wait to get more and have fun with my hair in a few weeks or however long it takes for the color to fade.

Naturally my hair is a medium brown, however it's been a long time since it was it's full natural color. I've been dying my hair for about fifteen years now. I can say that Manic Panic hair bleach and color have been my favorite to use so far.

Getting my Manic Panic look!

So I've been wanting to try Manic Panic hair color for years, I've tried other hair dye in the past and two years ago my hair was even green for awhile. It was fun while it lasted. I finally decided this time after bleaching my hair with the Manic Panic bleach kit, that this was the time to try and have some fun! I've lightened my hair over the past two weeks since the first bleaching, since I had so much red in my hair it looked orange at first. This afternoon it looked light yellow/blonde after applying some Manic Panic bleach for about an hour. Currently I've trying their Manic Panic Virgin Snow hair color and then I plan on putting in some beautiful RED highlights. That's right, I plan to try to lighten my hair as much as possible to help the effect look amazing and instead of going black, which I will eventually try, I decided to go white with colored highlights.

I will update with some photos once I'm finished to show the entire process my hair has gone through to get it's amazing Manic Panic look. :) I especially love their products because they are vegetarian, all natural ingredients being safe to use and not tested on animals. That is very important to me and why I don't dye my hair that often. I have tried a semi hair color once before two years ago. I suppose the company I purchased the green hair color wasn't fresh any longer and that's why it didn't take well to my hair resulting in a slime yellow/green when it began to wash out. I'm hoping that my hair looks amazing through out all parts of the process this time around. Excited to see the end result!
