Ultra Violet

I really wanted a temporary purple hair dye and this one works perfectly! I can go from bright neon purple, to lavender, to toned blond hair. I can have a fun break with neon hair and then go back to work two weeks later, and no one knows I had neon hair. Not only does it fade out of my hair perfectly without leaving any green pigment, it also perfectly tones my hair and takes out any brassiness, leaving me with the perfect white-blond shade I've been looking for. I have shoulder length blond hair and used this 3 times before I ran out. Granted, the first two times I used mainly white conditioner with a little bit of purple to get a nice lavender. The third time I used mainly the dye with a little bit of conditioner and left it on for about an hour. The only suggestion I have is to be careful with the dye itself. I would suggest washing your head out under bathtub faucet before taking a shower. The dye is such vibrant and will stain white surfaces if you aren't careful. If you're looking for a permanent neon dye over darker hair- this isn't for you. However, if you're looking for a temporary fun change with lighter hair- 100% would recommend. Definitely will be buying again. I included two pictures of my hair a couple days after I had dyed it and what color it was originally. (Note- it was significantly brighter than what you see in the pictures) The picture with my blond hair was a couple days after I had dyed it lavender- it faded out perfectly and left my hair white-blond. I didn't take any pictures of it while it was lavender, but it worked great! For the neon dye I used about half the container of dye with maybe 1 tablespoon of white conditioner. For lavender, I used about 1/4th of the dye to about 2/3rds cup of white conditioner for my shoulder-length hair. I would recommend leaving it on for at least an hour. USE GLOVES

absolute favorite color to dye my hair. i always get a ton of compliments. super easy to use, but definitely wear gloves, coat your hairline with vaseline, and cover your counter— the color will stain everything it touches (comes off w acetone best). sometimes my roots don’t take much of the color, in which case i have to dye it twice, but the second coloring always come out perfect. my hair is about mid back length and medium thick. if i’m cautious, i can get the whole head with one jar, but gotta be paying attention to how much you’re using. works quite well with ion pre color treatment spray. Color doesn’t tend to stick around long. i’m usually blonde again after a month or so.

A good vibrant dye that works great and is gentle on processed hair. Fades very well to a lovely lilac gradient in bleached-white hair. Otherwise it needs to be redyed every 2 weeks (every week if your wash your hair daily). Be aware if your natural hair color was 5+ that you may need to add a sky blue dye to the mix or the color will come out a few shades warmer than intended.

This color is beautiful. I love it. If only it didn’t fade so fast. I try to wash my hair 2 times a week. The first time I applied the hair dye was over my faded pink hair, which is why you see a little bit of pink undertones in the picture. I also diluted the hair dye with white conditioner. The 2nd time I dyed it, more hair dye, less conditioner for a more vibrant purple. It’s so beautiful but I noticed that my hair feels dry and brittle after washing the hair dye. Not sure if this just happens to my hair but every time I don’t mix enough conditioner, my hair ends up feeling dry until I wash it a second time. I try washing my hair with cold water but even when I do, a lot of the dye washes off. By the 3rd wash, I would need to touch it up. I don’t mind the fading though. I think it looks nice. It turns into a nice lavender color. This hair dye will stain your skin and clothes and anything else it touches so rub Vaseline around your forehead, neck, and ears when applying hair dye. Also wear gloves. You don’t want purple hands.

I have been using manic panic for many, many years now. I love all of their hair colors. They are a bit messy and will stain everything if you're not super careful when applying. I wash my hair about once a week, so this color stays in my hair for quite a while. It does not damage my hair at all. Very satisfied with this. Also, the color is super vibrant depending on your hair color.

Over all it is a good color and easy to put on, but when they say it washes out they where not kidding. In 2 or 3 washes the color was fading so bad, and yes I use special shampoo for colored hair. So if you are looking for something that is going to wash out fast then you want to get this one.

As lovely as this color is I did buy this product to use as a toner and not a hair dye. Mixing just a bit of this with some basic conditioner got me the perfect white color I was looking for in my hair and was a much cheaper way to maintain the color than buying a regular toner. If you are looking to do the same this is a great option!

My first time using Manic Panic hair dye and without a doubt it will be my last. An asolutely nightmare from start to finish. I was ecstatic to dye my hair a crazy color and followed a tutorial to diluent the Ultra Violet with conditioner to achieve a soft lavender. 1st attempt I used a teaspoon of dye to a cup of conditioner, left on for 45 minutes. This yielded absolutely no change from my original platinum blonde. 2nd attempt I used half the amount of conditioner and 2 teaspoons of dye. Same time frame. Again, zero change. I was flabbergasted. 3rd attempt I used undiluted dye for 45 minutes again. I finally saw a change in color but it was the ugliest muddy brown-blue I've ever seen. Not a trace of purple anywhere, just uneven and horrible. I've never hid my hair before today but I was genuinely embarrassed by how it looked. I didn't even want to glance in the mirror. Blessedly I was able to reverse the effect with Garnier's Lightest Platinum hair dye. It worked like magic and only left the softest copper hints behind. 😌 I've colored my hair blonde for over a decade and never had the difficulty or as poor results as I did with this Manic Panic. If I ever attempt an unnatural color again, it will never be this brand.
