Manic PanicHigh Voltage® Classic Cream Formula Colour Hair Dye 118ml (Vampire Red)

Used a known brand for daughters hair absolute rubbish, she has med blonde hair and it hardly changed so we ordered this. Needed 2 tubs as she has thick long hair but wow! Such a strong colour. Remember to use vasaline along the hairline and ears so you don't stain the skin but definitely worth buying and I don't usually leave reviews.

First time using this particular fashion colour, I've had pinks, purples and red before but I love this colour!I applied over a level 8 pre-lightened hair to ensure porosity ready for this dye. My hair still had red/orange tones in it so wasn't sure how this would turn out but the colour is very pigmented and has turned out perfect for what I wanted, not too dark or too light. The colour does transfer, especially when wet but I expected this with it being a semi-permanent colour.Washing with cold water only, once or twice a week, I expect some fade but it's not been too bad. The first picture is after first applying (pigtail buns), and the second is after one wash. Also one tub does two rounds of dye but I'm not doing a full head application so this will vary for others.

My daughter used this and said it is good, the colour on her brown hair looks lovely. She hasn't coloured all of her hair, just strips on the underneath.

I am no stranger to dying my hair myself, I've been doing it since I was 12 or 13. This was my first time using Manic Panic & definitely my last. I had quite pale, faded red hair on one half of my head and decided to dye over it with the blue, as you can see it went black and blue? I'm not even super mad about that, I know that dying over dyed hair can have mixed results, I get it. I attempted to use it a second time, this time doing my other side as well (which was a pale natural brown) and was surprised to find it didn't take at AT, it did nothing. I'd read some reviews of having to use it more than once, so thought this might achieve a semi-okay looking final look. Nope! Did absolutely nothing. That annoyed me! Like at least let the other wise of my hair match somewhat!? Finally tonight I decided to buy a basic brand black hair dye to do over it and be done with the weird colours - this is my typical fix whenever I bugger up my hair by overdying it or the colour comes out wrong - only to find... the colour won't take! I have never, ever had this happen and I've dyed my hair millions of times! What a waste of money, time & energy!I know others have mentioned about the stains this product can leave but wow! I really wasn't prepared! Even though gloves, it stained my hands! Not a single trick for removing hair dye from skin worked! I had to spend two days with Smurf hands! Even when I washed my hair a second time (and I'm always very thorough with rinising until water runs clear when dying my hair) I got blue hands again! I couldn't believe it! My bathroom walls are all stained with blue as is my shower curtain!I cannot stress enough, don't bother with this crap! Far better brands out there.

Used this product 4 times now! The vampire red is my favourite colour to dye my hair. It takes really well to both my bright ends and dark roots and creates a nice ombre effect which i adore. The dye lasts a long time in my hair so i don't need to dye it as often!My only issue with this product is the dye itself stains so be sure to wear gloves, be careful not to get the dye on your ears, forehead or neck and be careful not to touch anything when applying! When rinsed under cold water it causes a lot less staining to my bathtub and face than if i rinse with warm water. Hope this helps :)

Colour dulls a lot after a few washes but the colour is vibrant and deep

The dye took well but the colour didn’t match the sample picture on hair or in the pot. I was hoping for a vibrant forest green but what I actually got was the same as manic panic shocking blue with better results. I’ve been blue for a while now so it’s not the worst situation but it’s not what I was hoping for. I bleached my hair completely white before this so it had a good base, this is the accurate colour.

GORGEOUS GORGEOUS PINK!! Just the perfect colour I had beens searching for, neon and amazing!! Lasts ages and so easy to apply. Definitely recommend!!
