Manic Panic Electric Lizard

I ordered Cotton Candy Pink a while back from Amazon, however I normally use Passion Red, Hot Hot Pink, or After Midnight Blue (once). I dye my naturally brown hair with Manic Panic dyes only because they are semi-permanent.

In order to get the color, I wash my hair using a harsh dish washing soap like Ajax or regular soap like a Dial bar twice to strip it. No conditioner. I then dry my hair on high and straighten it on high without heat protector. Why? To get it as DRY as possible without straight up burning it. Any products will block the dye. Don't worry, Manic Panic dyes will rehydrate your hair. I then take my dye of choice (Passion Red is my favorite, it fades nice!) and cover my hair fully with dye, applying it thickly so it has a lot to soak up. 9+ inch thick/12+ inch thin hair may need more than one jar for the right affect. (I have very thick hair and when I started dying it reached my lower back! Two jars!)

Leave the dye in at least 9 hours,...Read more

I have been dying my hair for years. Manic Panic offers several different pinks. Everyone seems to pay no mind to this shade "New Rose"....they see the "Cotton candy, and Hot Hot pink" and how bright it is in the bottle, and choose those. When with hair dye, the reverse is true. This "New Rose" is the best Pink Manic Panic has to offer. With this color, I get the loudest, brightest and boldest pink around!!! So if bold pink is what you want (Not a pale pink), this is the color you want. Remember, the lighter it looks in the bottle, th lighter its going to be on your hair. The darker it looks, the brighter it will be on your hair, so dont let the dark shade of the New Rose fool you!!! I always bleach my hair. If you dont, You cant expect the same results. Also, there is a suggestion on the bottles that no one pays any attention to either....."Blow dry your hair"!!!!!!! This will help the color set....I always blowdry while I have the dye in for at least 15 Minutes and I never follow...Read more

I've had Manic Panic hair for at least a year now and I cannot stop raving about this product! I've used maybe 6 of their colors and I'll review them all for anyone who's curious :)

Vampire Red - LOVE the potency of this color. I had light brown hair and without bleaching it I have bright as day blood red hair. It's awesome! The downside for this color is since it is red, it will fade faster than other colors. Any sort of red hair requires constant upkeep, but it is worth it!

Raven - One of my favorites! Unlike most of Manic Panic's colors it does not fade to a weird shade other than black, it's black for a super long time and will NOT run in the shower.

Rock N Roll Red - Good, but not the best. Gives more of an orangey tint to the hair, whereas Vampire Red will fade to a dark pink. Washes out quickly but the biggest downside is the orange tint.

Atomic Turquoise - If you want full affect you Definitely need to bleach, if you don't,...Read more
