Thursday Review: Manic Panic Hair Dye!

Manic Panic in Rockabilly Blue

For the last few months, I have been really wanting to dye my hair a crazy color, and yesterday, I finally did it!  I used Manic Panic semi-permanent in Rockabilly Blue to dye the underlayer of my hair and I am pretty happy with how it worked!  With the help of my dear sweet mother, I did my hair basically the same way you do highlights - taking chunks, putting them on foil, painting them with the dye, closing up the foil, and moving to the next piece.  I left it in for 30 minutes, like it says on the bottle, and even though I hadn't bleached my hair beforehand, it turned out super vibrant blue - in fact, I'm hoping it fades out a little more in the next few days because I feel a little like Cruella de Ville.

Rocking the no-makeup Bellatrix hair look.

The product itself was really easy to use, though I would definitely recommend using an applicator.  Even using one, my (and my mom's) hands are still faintly blue, as is my neck. Be warned also: when you first rinse out your hair...well, you'll know exactly what Purple Rain must have been about.  This dye will stain everything.  And I do mean everything.  There may have been some bleaching of the shower afterwards, and the t-shirt that I was wearing died a brightly colored death.

The final result:

What do you think?

But overall I am really happy with how it looks! I love how bright it turned out, even though I didn't have to bleach it, and I will definitely be using this dye again in the future.
