Manic Panic Vampire Red Hair Dye

 (15 customer reviews)

I love manic panic. I was a punky color girl back in the day but now I've crossed over. This Vampire red is the best of the reds manic panic offers. It is not as dark as it looks in the jar.

Manic Panic is a fantastic company, and they have a really fun variety of different reds. This is one of their darker reds, so if you're looking for fire engine hair it isn't for you. It shows up as a crimson/blood red on bleached hair. It doesn't work great on hair that's not bleached, but even then it does still give a very pretty red tint. I love manic panic!
