Which dye do you think is better? Manic panic or RAW? I've used manic panic when I went red and it worked well. I'm looking for a deep blue. Not like a sky or teal blue. I also know to touch it up once a week and to bleach my hair for it to take. Just don't know which brand is better.
I personally have used special effects and would highly recommend you look into that if you wabt a huge color pay off
I personally did their pimpin purple and a pink that i cant remember the name off hand (pics on my profile)
And had friends use the blue
I would use the manic panic to help keep the color fresh
I also had a friend use raw for pink and didnt get the color pay off she wanted but i would say to try it first if you want too its a bit cheaper as well
I finally did it today! I bleached it out & used manic panic rockabilly blue! I LOVE IT! Of course tomorrow I'll dye it once more & once a week I will do a mask for it! I am so happy with my results.
I don't like manic panic, it fades extremely fast. Great color pay off, but I feel like I had to dye it way too often to keep it a nice blue green color.
I dyed my hair the pillarbox red last summer and didn't have any problems with the color payoff. I just did a mask with the leftover dye once a wk. Also after all the research I did I think it depends on your hair type, hair conditin, & the color of dye on each brand. As of now I don't mind Manic Panic. Who knows...maybe after this I'll change my mind :)
Manic panic def doesnt work for me i have think coarse hair and didnt stick but it did for family that have thin hair etc
And like anything like you said it depends on the colors sometimes to know whoch one will work
Like i told one of my girlfriends its trial and error! Lol
My only grievance would be the constant bleeding! I swear it is everywhere! I just found that rinsing it with vinegar solution seemed to help! I can touch my hair again without turning blue.
Hahahah yeaaaa
I slept with a pink pillow case that dust matter to me because of the bleeding
I never wore white or somethini knew would stain badly if my hair touched it
But I had mine for literally 6 months and got used to the lifestyle change of it haha
