Mohawks Rock

i'll leave links to each hair dye that i list even if they are not the best hair dyes

manic panic sucks it tends to fade mad fast and u dont always get the color u want esp with the lighter colors cotton candy pink, electric lizard, ect. also the atomic turquoise came out green when i used it, although the hot hot pink and vampire red came out well and didnt fade too fast when i used it.

special effect tends to work very well and dosent fade too fast, but sadly im haivng a hard time finding it now. another BIG plus is that it is NOT tested on animals :). so if u find it grab it, or u can order on-line but there is s&h shit u have to deal with plus waiting for it to come.

splat hair dye comes in a little kit with its own bleach but it only comes in 4 colors, but i have only seen the blue envy and luscious raspberry in stores so u would have to order it on line and that kinda sucks bc of s&h and waiting for it, also a friend of mine that uses the blue envy used the bleach that came with the kit after having his hair dyed a while and after he bleached out the blue envy the color shanged, near the roots it faded to a light pink color and lighted the blue and made it look like it had a cotton candy effect to it and it look pretty damn cool.

adore by creative image i have not tried this but i was told that is works much better then manic panic and it is mad cheap, but i didnt find it around me. i also looked on like for it on-line but i didnt find a site that showed the colors themselfs so u would just have to go by the name of the color, but still yet again s&h and the whole waiting game shit.

punky colour i have only used it once and that was like 6 years ago from what i memeber tho the color came out the way i wanted it to but i dont think it lasted too long but like i said it was 6 years ago so give it a try if u want.

raw color hair dye seems to work well so far this is the 1st time i tried it and the color dosent seem to have faded but it has only been a few days so far, plus after i bleached my hair it was mad rough and dye and the hair dye softened it up and made it feel as tho i didnt even bleach or dye my hair, i'll keep u updated on how much it fades. i found it at hot topic so it was about 13 bucks and that kinda sucks bc im going to be pissed as shit it it fades in like 2 more weeks. (update on raw it faded mad fast not to happy about it big waste of money)

color fiend i have not tried it at all. it was also at hot topic aka everthing is over priced but it didnt seem like a good dye bc there was gliter in some of the colors, but if u want to try it go for it it was also like 13 bucks. the link for the raw also shows this hair dye.

'n rage i was just goolging hair dyes and came across this 1, i havent seen it around has any1 tried it?

la riche going by the site it is only in the uk but i belive u can ored it in pack of 4 of each color i never used it and i have no clue how well it works but here is the site

this site has special effect, punky colour and manic panic at a decent prices but u could prob find manic panic for less, but u wont be able to find special effect for any less then what it is priced on this site.

I have been doing this for many years and after my fav dye went out of production I tried many different brands to get one that suited my requirements , now I only use Fudge , mainly because it does not contain peroxide and because it is semi permenant , as I change my colour every two weeks I need a dye that will not kill my hair , the Fudge colour range is good , so is the cost , $15.00 gets my hawk dyed and trimmed and the sides shaved :) beats doing it yourself every time , I still like doing my own every now and again , I guess it comes down to your individual needs .

great thread, i mainly use fudge as it is cheaper, but the colour is dull, and the range is not that great.
when i have the money i go and get manic panic.
unfortunately these are the only dyes available to me, however i intend to order some better ones, perhaps punky, in the near future.
Well I've used a lot of dyes over the years.

Currently I have manic panic in my hair. It works ok. I was on a break from that for a while, but I recently in the past year took a liking to it again. It's been working fine, stays in decently and shows up alright.

Punk Color is my fave. Stains like a bitch though, especially the darker colors. My favorite dye of all time though is Punky Color plum, so if you are looking for a nice purple I would suggest it.

I remember not being too won over by Special Effects, I think I didn't like the colors.

Raw Color I was really unhappy with. Did not like it.

So I guess for hair color I would definitely say Manic Panic and Punky Color are great, although I feel like it's really hit or miss with whatever coloring product you use.
I do like manic panic, when I used the electric lizard it worked well. I did leave it in for two hours though. I have tried color fiend and raw also. Color fiend worked okay but faded very fast. Raw is pretty good but is only sold at hottopic, and I've vowed never to shop there again. I ordered a bunch of special effects colors and I'll see how those work.
you gotta take into consideration the fact that different dyes will have different results on everyone that tries it. manic panic works better for me than special effects. punky fades the worst for me.

a lot of fading has to do with what you do to your hair. i wash my hair (usually) twice a month in cold water. haven't used shampoo in two/three years and i don't use any products other than protein treatments, conditioners and the occasional hair spray. chlorine, salt water and sun exposure also fades hair colour.

almost every dye job i've done on myself + some with the dyes used listed in the description.
i know, i just stated what i thought of each brand that i did use and the 1 i had the best out come with is special effects, its also what i saw that worked best for my on friends hair as well
I'm confused as to which dye to try..

Last year when I didn't have a mohawk and my hair was wavy and to my shoulders, I had parts of it bleached but put Raw brand purple dye over my whole hair and it turned it both bright and a darker shade of purple..if I remember right it took about 3 weeks to wash out...and every time I washed it I would see purple in the water and the dye would stain pillow cases for some reason.. even a week after I put it in. So I'm guessing Raw isn't so good for me.

I was thinking of trying "Special Effects" if I can find it...but I'm just a bit worried to dye my hair, haha because I have a tendency to wash my hair just about every day and I'm sure that would just take the dye out right away, am I right?
that will cause the dye to fast out faster but not that much faster, i have friends that dont use shampoo or anything in thier hair, aside form hair spray to make their hair stand up and the color dosent even stick to their hair for more then a week, i think its all the dirt that fucks with it
Alright, thanks! :)
wow sweet article. im thinking on dyeing my hair and ill let u know what one works best!
Manic Panic doesn't test on animals either.

Punky colors lasts a surprisingly long time considering it's usually party colors (non natural) No party color lasts terribly long. Also, punky colors makes your hair smell like fruit (blue hair dye =blue berry, and such) :-)
Punky Color hands down for me. Payed to get my hair dyed professionally, cost my $90 bucks and washed out the next day. not sure what they used but they wouldn't even give me my money back. I was told to try Punky Color and as long as you bleach your hair it will last for ages!
