I know, I know...it has been discussed here before...
but after spending several hours Saturday bleaching my hawk so I had some hope of the crazy color being visible, I am soooo annoyed that one of the Manic Panic dyes barely took and the other isn't exactly winning any prizes for it's staying power.
I usually buy local and here you either get Manic Panic and a choice of colors, or you can buy one other brand (the name escapes me now) in either Pink, Pinkish Red, or Black....not colors I want (at this time).
so let's hear your Manic Panic rants (and any good alternatives you've found/bad experiences ordering dye on line, etc).
I am so freaking pissed that I paid NINE FREAKING DOLLARS A POT for hair dye that really doesn't dye anything except stuff you dont' want it on. how in holy hell can this stuff stain my hands, my sink, my floor, my towels and yet NOT STICK TO MY FREAKING HAIR. if i didn't think it was animal cruelty, i'd put a dot on one of the cats just to see if it had any staying power on them!!!!! When I was a kid it was either MP or kool aid. SURELY IN THE 15+ YEARS I'VE BEEN DOING THIS STUFF TO MY HAIR SOMETHING BETTER HAS COME ALONG!!!
I just want a good BRIGHT purple (I think I used MP ultra violet, purple haze is darker than what i want) I'd wanted a green, but couldn't find any local so I went with a turquoise-y color..not quite green, but not totally blue. The purple has done as well as can be expected...but the Turquoise was almost totally gone by Monday. WTF WTF WTF WTF. Seriously, I'd been better off with kool aid...at least when it failed, I'd be out 88 cents, not nine dollars!!!!!!!!

I've never had a problem with manic panic. I've been using it since i was about 11 or 12 when i first started dying my hair wacky colors and the thing is dont just leave it in for an hour or two sleep in it or wait till it gets hard. It doesn't have anything that really damages your hair so its fine. Its the same one my aunt uses for her fire truck red hair (shes a beautician and swears on it ) To me it really works and has never failed me.
yeah shit washes out like a bitttttch not fun..i moved on to N RAGE!
Manic Panic is horrible...I've been dyeing my hair for about...7 years now and I learned way early on that Manic Panic SUCKS ASS.
I used Special Effects for a while which lasted longer and was brighter.
Now though, I would have to say SPLAT is amazing. Go look through my pics.. the bright purples, blues, teals, everything..thats all SPLAT. And they last a long time.
some MP dyes are okay, apparently the blues are better than the warmer tones. i used Mystic Heather on light blond hair with some teal, it only dyed my roots and tinted the rest, so i have weird pastel gradient hair. apparently it's best to leave it in for 5-7 hours but i'm waaay too impatient.
the only other dye around here is punky color, which is pretty good but usually really dark.
fat friend of mine (recently moved) dyed his hair red and blue with manic panic, but when he sweat it trickled off his head. So by then end of the day he has red and blue stripes goin down his face
My favorite is punky color. It smells great and lasts forever for me.
There is a really awesome thread that is like a snippit of people and how they liked the dye. And its organized by color. :3
For me different colors are better from one brand then another.
Punky color = yellow + black
special fx = pink
splat = red, blue, green
manic panic fucking sucks.
