Plum Passion

Purple haze: Gorgeous purple color. It is vibrant and has remained bright and unfaded through 6 washes so far. We applied it to dry hair and left in for 45 minutes, then rinsed it out with cool water. MAKE SURE TO RINSE IT AWAY FROM YOUR SKIN! We flipped her hair over and rinsed it in the sink because it WILL stain your skin. Good thing to note though, if you do stain your skin, alcohol or nail polish remover takes it right off. I used both with my other child to get Manic Panic off her skin (a disaster since she just rinsed under the showerhead like a normal shower... aaand she was pink all down her face/neck/ears/chest) Anyway, both products worked to remove the stains and return her skin to normal although the alcohol smelled less offensive than the nail polish remover. Used alcohol on a cotton ball to remove excess purple from the second attempt just around the hairline and ears where it had dabbed a little.

The first photo with pink hair is what I placed this dye on top of. I also cut my hair when the second photo was taken but when I originally dyed it purple (before the chop) I only needed to buy 2 containers and still had some left over and I had quite long hair. The photo of it now (2nd photo) is after 3 washes. The last photo (black shirt) is before I cut my hair for reference of how much I had. Although this DOES STAIN!!!! Careful of your tub just wash out the water as quick as you can!

Great product - been using it for years. Works best on light colored hair. Color will fade over about 6 weeks of time.

My hair is naturally dark brown. This was the third product I tried adding some red to my hair. The first I tried was overtone red for brown hair. It worked well, but the color was just a hint of red due to being applied to my naturally dark brown hair. 3 weeks later I tried Lux Red from Sally Beauty. It made it a little more red than before, my hair looked more of an maroon / red. Lots of compliments. Then 3 weeks later I finally tried the manic panic pillarbox red. I was able to get complete coverage with just 1 jar. I put my hair in a plastic bag to really let it set in. The directions say to let it set in for at least 30 minutes. I went for 4 hours before washing my hair out. My hair looks to be a dark magenta now. The color looks great, but the product did stain my scalp more than the other two products I tried. Took 5 days for my skin to look normal again. Keep in mind I just applied it like an overtone, and did not do any pre bleaching to lighten my hair before applying the product. If you are using this product on brown hair, its going to look more like a dark magenta when you get done. It mostly depends on the lighting. In dark lighting my hair looks dark brown with a hint or red. In Bright lighting, outdoors or studio lights the color really comes to life. Looks like a darkish magenta with bright lights. Adding red to my hair was a great decision, wish I would have done it years ago. For some reason I seem more approachable now, people seem more comfortable around me. Before when I just had dark brown hair I guess had more of that rested bitch look. Now I look less intimidating, and its working better for me in social situations.

Very pretty but not as long lasting as I wanted. Manic panic doesn’t last long in darker hair colors. Very vibrant red even on dark hair though which is very cool.

Not at all the color of the photos. I got this color (Pillarbox Red) to go a darker red - is labeled classic firetruck red, but it's really like a neon/highlighter red. I just put out over the roots to touch up a copper red on the longer part. It also stains worse than any other dye I've used recently. I've done pink, purple, blue, orange, and red and this one was the worst. The shower looks like a murder scene, even after cleaning and my back and hands and all pink.

Let me start off by saying I have been dying my hair at home for 12 years. I always heard of Manic Panic but never tried it. Well I have been a redhead 1.5 years now so I decided to try it. I've watched plenty of Brad Mondo videos. But nothing could prepare me for this experience. This was by far, one of the most horrifying experiences of my life. I would have to honestly say that in my entire adult lifetime I only made one more mistake more drastic - my ex boyfriend of 8 years. I applied the dye, everything was fine. Used lotion around the hair line. I had gloves on. I was actually impressed that 1/2 the container covered my shoulder length hair pretty well. I went to go shower; to rinse it out after 30 minutes. I used cool water. That was when everything turned pink. Highlighter pink. My hands, the shower stalls, my legs, my feet, my face. I thought "ok I'll quickly spray off the shower using the shower head".... Then to my horror- I saw that it was not rinsing off. I started scrubbing my skin. Nothing is coming off. It was as bright pink as Willy Wonka going through all those psychedelic colors. I jumped out of the shower. Put my hair in my black towel. Grabbed the scrubbing bubbles under the sink and frantically sprayed the shower stall. Then I applied lotion by the handfuls all over my body. Then I started scrubbing the shower. I looked at myself naked, covered in lotion, pink as a flamingo, and called for my husband to witness my mess so someone else could verify what was happening and to ensure me this was not a dream. He brought me a magic eraser. I scrubbed and scrubbed the shower and myself repeatedly for the next hour. I did get rid of the pink hue except faintly on the shower pan which is currently soaking in bleach as I write this review. My skin is still pink. I need to figure out how I will shower in the future - because hygiene is important- but the thought of my hair leaking more dye terrifies me. I have no idea how Manic Panic is still in business - surely people need to be suing them for damages to their bathrooms by the thousands. This product should not be legal. Do not buy it. It is evil. It is the devil incarnate. Please learn from my mistake. The only way this product may work is with a friend's help and a garden hose outside. But then again I don't know why you would want to go through that since there is far superior products on the market.

Great product, good ingredients, the color is brilliant and arrived on time

Lo he usado para un mechón de mi hija. Previamente hay que decolorarlo y aún así necesité un par de capas. El color quedé genial pero ha durado dos lavados y luego ya se queda color azul que también es bonito pero vamos, que no dura apenas lavados. Eso si, como era para un mechón el bote me dura para varias veces.

Es una marca que me encanta y siempre me han funcionado los colores, salvo este, tengo el cabello muy decolorado y debería funcionar, pero el color no ha cogido, es como si no me hubiera puesto nada...se ve el tono amarillento del decolorado pero no se queda blanco. :S

I am in love with this hair colour it’s pink and purple combined. It’s gorgeous

Couleur très vive et qui tient bien. Facile à appliquer et ne se transfert pas sur les taies d’oreiller ou les vêtements. Attention selon votre couleur a naturelle il faudra décolorer vos cheveux pour avoir un beau résultat et selon la longueur il faudra 2 pots. Je recommande.

Streax and others are much better. Didn’t stay long and not good either.
