I've dyed streaks of my hair green, blue, and purple. The green and blue were done professionally, but the purple was done by myself with Splat hair dye. I've wanted to try Manic Panic though. Do you like Splat or Manic Panic better?

I have manic panic in my hair now. I have Vampire Red. It's great. It came out really vibrant on my hair and I used one jar for my whole head. I haven't had an issue with fading yet (it's only been like a week) but the only thing I HATE is it transfers. I painted my nails white and it stained them so bad from curling my hair. I had to repaint them the next day. It also transfers a little bit on clothes (mostly white tops)

Both Splat and Manic Panic will transfer to white nails, that's a given, but I've had better luck with Splat. I dyed my hair with Manic Panic and it faded after about 3 weeks? My current hair color was done with Splat and is still vibrant after being dyed in May and I'm trying to fade it.

That's the saddest thing ever. I wish my hair color wouldn't transfer to my nails. Black and white are essential colors to my nail art. My ying yang nails right now are looking crazy

I agree with Erica! I'm SE addict. But when my color isn't available I default to Manic panic.

I hate splat. It damaged and dried out my hair and rinsed out immediately. Manic panic and all the actual veggie dyes are basically conditioner.
And Symone, try a vinegar rinse (google for recipe) it'll make the bleeding much less. I never have the problem of used-to-be-white-but-now-stained nails anymore.
And hair dye like this is very personal. What'll work best on your hair will depend on a ton of factors. Like porosity of the hair, how light the hair is, the formula of the dye etc. like my hair holds special effects best. I can get up to 4 months before it fades to a pastel and I have to redye. Manic panic I get 1-2 months. Punky colors lasts 2-3 weeks. Splat lasted one wash.
It'll depend on your hair and it'll be trial and error to find the one you like best. Don't trash one brand because you heard a bad review. It most likely will not be the same on your hair.

I'm going to try that Alyx! I did scrub them with whitening toothpaste, shampoo and soap mixed together and it did fade the stains a lot but it still has like a pink tint to them

Yeah the only thing I found that can get rid of it is a lot of dish soap rinsing. But it's not nice on the polish so you're better off doing a vinegar rinse on your hair and then repainting them.
Now I really only get the stained nails and bleeding the wash or two after I dye my hair. Unfortunately red bleeds the most out of every color I've had, but the vinegar rinse should at least make it so it's only when your hair is soaking wet rather than every time your hair feels any moisture
