Manic Panic Semi Permanent Vampire Red Hair Dye, 4 oz

favorite dye i love this color so much

So my hair color is light brunette with the occasional blonde highlight. I have wanted to dye my hair red for the last ten years, and with quarantine, I was like - screw it - it's time to take the plunge. I went with manic panic Vampire Red because I didn't want it to be permanent, but I also wanted a pretty intense red. Here is what I learned. By the way, keep in mind that I diluted the manic panic with conditioner, so your results may be COMPLETELY different if you just use the dye with no dilution. Positives: 1. Easy application I honestly know nothing about dying hair, and it turned out amazing regardless. 2. NO BLEACH NEEDED!! (see before and after picture) Look, obviously if you want that red to match the color on the container, you're gonna have to bleach your hair. But it looks awesome without it too, which I can't say about all hair dyes! 3. It didn't destroy my hair! Actually, my hair felt amazing after application. Not to mention I have thin, delicate hair that I'm deathly paranoid of damaging (for fear that I might lose what I have!). 4. The dye smells awesome! AND it's vegan! Negatives: 1. It bleeds. Everywhere. I'm lucky that my towels and sheets are all dark because HOLY MOLY this thing bleeds for weeks after the initial dye job. Even when I got sweaty during exercise, some of the droplets were pinkish red! I don't even want to imagine what would happen if I got in a chlorinated pool! I mean, I expected as much because it's semi-permanent, but man. It's stubborn to get off surfaces, and it never did come out of my one set of light colored sheets. Make sure you have some bleach and a magic eraser handy, because I would have stained everything I loved if I wasn't careful. 2. It has pink undertones, which can make it fade strangely. Now this may not actually be a negative for you, but it was for me since I wanted browner undertones. To each their own though. Overall, this was a cheap and fantastic choice. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who is curious!

My favorite semi-permanent hair dye OF ALL TIME. This is my color. Vampire Red is more on the pinkish side when it fades, but I am 100% fine with it. I prefer pink fade instead of orange fade with most other red dyes. You can mix this with conditioner (the more conditioner, the lighter it will be) and if you're going over box color, I recommend doing it that way. I've done it over dark brown, burgundy, dark & light purple, and dark red. Gives your box color a nice sheen of Vampire Red over top of it. I typically will mix with conditioner to give my hair a refresher in between dye jobs, and as you know, red is one of the hardest colors to maintain. Though if you're putting this on bleached or lightened hair, I don't recommend mixing with conditioner unless you want a more pastel version of this color. I'd say leave it in for at least an hour, but I've gone up to 4 hours before, and I know some people go overnight too. It's vegan and not harsh on your hair at all. You do have to be careful with this dye. It will STAIN everything. Wear gloves when you apply it, and make sure you cover important surfaces like sink or toilet with newspaper before dying your hair with this. Wrap your head in a towel before getting out of the shower, because if your wet hair drips on the tub and you don't catch it, it'll probably end up dying that too. It may seem like a pain, but it's really not that hard to get it everywhere if you're careful. It will rub off on your pillowcase too (usually only if your hair is still wet when you lie down), so you also have to be careful there as well. Sounds like a lot, but I think the color is worth it.

Very good hair dye. So far, it’s stayed in my hair for about some weeks now, it did stain my shower but that was easy to clean. Somehow made my hair softer, and even though I have dark brown hair, and did NOT bleach it, you can very clearly see the red!!!

I love this color it even shows up on dark hair

I have been a manic panic fan for many, many years now. I have dark brown hair that has some lighter pieces from a balayage that I had done about 6 months ago. I use this over my entire head. I try to stay away from my scalp but it inevitable gets there because I have a lot of gray which I like to cover with this product. It will stain towels and clothes but I think that is to be expected when dying your own hair. Even though, it takes a VERY long time to wash the dye out, I think it's totally worth it. Lasts for 2 months or so and slowly fades into a lighter pink on my lightest pieces. I will continue to buy this product.

We were skeptical but it worked well compared to other brands. Was used on natural black hair and the color actually showed. We kept it on for 2.5 hours.

This is for Vampire Red MP: On the one hand, it will dye your hair VERY BRIGHT red. On the other, it lasts that VERY bright shade of red for about 1-2 washes and then rapidly fades to an eventual pinkish color that simply won't leave. Or at least that's how it worked for me. I had naturally light hair, highlighted blonde. The best experience I've had with manic panic was using it as pastels. I had rose-gold color from mixing cotton candy pink + psychedelic sunset + equal amount of conditioner and it was gorgeous. Mix it up with conditioner and leave on for 30 min and it dyes pastel beautifully. It also conditions the hair and feels fantastic. When using it as a pastel it lasts on my hair approx 4 weeks and then it's gone like it was never there. When I used MP Vampire Red straight it was still a unflattering pink after 12 weeks of every color removing trick in the book.... so yeah. I ended up having to go to a salon to fix it but they couldn't bleach the rest out so I ended up dying over it. Moral of the story is that it's great when used as a pastel, you probably have to start with blonde hair, and if you use it undiluted on bleached hair you very well might never get it out!

マニパニの中で一番好きな色です。青も綺麗だし、シルバーにしたいならライラックがお勧めです。

My hair is unbleached black with a brown undertone and brown highlights. I've never coloured or bleached my hair before. I absolutely loved this hair dye. I applied it on washed dry hair and kept it for about 3 hours. I absolutely loved the result. There is barely any smell to the dye. I've shampooed my hair for about 6 times and the color is still there but fading slowly. Obviously you'd get even better results if you bleach your hair. For people looking to try out hair color for the first time or even if you are looking to keep changing your hair color this is a perfect option.

semplicemente fantastico: è uno dei colori più intensi e soddisfacenti che abbia mai provato, soprattutto su capelli naturali. Già dalla prima applicazione il rosso è profondo, pieno e davvero molto visibile, senza avere bisogno di più di un’unica passata per risultare notevole e ben definito. L’unica pecca, che vale la pena segnalare, è che il colore tende a scaricare molto durante i lavaggio: è quasi normale ritrovare tanto rosso che “scende” in acqua, ma anche dopo qualche lavaggio il colore resta ben vivo e intenso,

Love love love this product. I mix it with my hairmask and leave it on for at least 3 hours after having washed and dried my hair. By mixing it with your hairmask/conditioner you get sooo much more use out of it, i have long hair and a tub lasts me months. This colour is also so beautiful, though the results will obviously depend on your hair colour. I have my hair dyed red with permanent colour (i have dark brown hair naturally) , so i use the manic panic to keep the colour vibrant. Recently i had used permanent red dye that made my hair way too bright orange-red, but it was easily fixed with manic panic. I also love mixing this colour with purple haze for a beautiful elegant burgundy colour. Only “negative” thing is that it has crazy price flunctuations.

Es un color potente, se queda mucho más impregnado que otros rojos y es muy intenso. Esta genial pero hay que tener en cuenta que al mojarte el pelo después de su aplicación colorea todo lo que este en contacto
