Instructions On Using Manic Panic Hair Colors
This article will explain how to effectively use Manic Panics range of semi-permanent
hair colours so you get the most luminous and long-lasting results.
Introductory information
Manic Panic Hair Color uses natural ingredients with no harmful chemicals and tends to sit on the surface of the hair follicle. This means the effect on your hair be the result of a range of factors including which colour youre using, the present shade and condition of your hair.
Youll get the most dazzling colour by colouring bleached, tinted or porous hair. Pre-lightening your hair is even more essential if you would like a lighter colour or pastel shade as the final result.
Follow the instructions that come with a bleaching product, such as the Manic Panic Flash Lightning Complete Bleach Kit.
A strand test is a very good idea, as you can then be fairly certain that the colour youve chosen will give you the result you want.
We highly recommend doing a skin patch test before colouring your hair:
Pick an area that isnt easily seen about 2.5 centimetres in diameter and clean with a mild soap and water.
Dry the area ensuring it stays clean.
Put on a little of the hair colour to make a thin coat over the area and wait for it to try. Dont touch it or cover it and leave for 24 hours
Take a look at this patch. Can you see if any inflammation has developed? If so, do not use the product.
Dont combine Manic Panic Hair Colour with peroxide or permanent hair dye. It should be used as it comes in the jar to be certain in can colour your hair in the way it was designed to work.
Dont use alkaline products with Manic Panic Hair Colour, which will alter the balance of acids in the products and prevent the best penetration of the colour into the hair. As a result we recommend the use of low pH and non-alcohol setting and blow-dry products.
Warnings:
Be careful not to get the product in your eyes. If this happens, immediately rinse with water and see a doctor.
Manic Panic Hair Colour shouldnt be taken internally
Keep product away from children
And now for getting that awesome hair colour follow these steps
Wash hair with a shampoo that is pH-balanced. Rinse very well, towel dry but leave hair damp for colouring
Prepare for colouring by going along hair line and covering ears with either petroleum jelly or baby oil, as Manic Panic Hair Colour may temporarily mark the skin. This means you should also wear rubber or plastic gloves. Prepare the place youll be using to colour, and yourself as the hair colour can permanently mark fabric and other material.
Get a plastic bowl to apply the colour from, and fill it with jar of hair colour if you have short hair, or a whole jar if your hair is long.
Starting centimetre from the scalp start to apply the Manic Panic Hair Color using a tint brush, making sure it put on evenly and so each strand is fully soaked with colour through to the hair ends.
Also apply upwards from the nape of the neck to the main section of hair.
Continue applying colour until it becomes foamy, which means the hair cant absorb any more colour. With lighter shades of Manic Panic Hair Color, more combing through is likely to be necessary in order to obtain a better colour penetration.
Sit with colour for 15 minutes by which time the colour should be completely absorbed by the hair if youre working at normal room temperature. If your hair is tends not to take to colour well, leave hair under a plastic cap for 30 minutes
You can reduce processing time to 5-7 minutes and may be able to get a longer-lasting and more vibrant colour through the use of an infra-red heat lamp.
Completely rinse hair, being sure not to get any of the hair colour in your eyes.
Read on for some advice to keeping your great new Manic Panic colour for longer
After-colouring hair treatments arent needed, but you can raise the pH level of the hair straight after colouring and so help to increase the colours endurance, by combing through equal parts white vinegar and water and then rinsing well.
Swimming and hair styling products will increase fading due to Manic Panic Hair Colors natural ingredients and lack of harmful chemicals.
If you decide you want to get rid of the colour
An increased rate of fading can be achieved by using alkaline shampoos, or using a hot-oil treatment from the shops. Follow the instructions that come with the oil treatment. To get rid of some colour with the oil, start massaging in shampoo with no water, and then begin adding water bit by bit until the oil, and some colour is removed.
Get the opinion of the makers of lightening and hair colour removal products.
Speak to a qualified hairdresser for their advice, or get them to colour over your hair with a darker natural shade of Manic Panic Hair Color.
An option for the future if youd like to colour your hair with little commitment is to try Manic Panics Dyehard Hair Color, which shampoos out.
