MANIC PANIC Classic Pillarbox Red Semi Permanent Hair Color - True Red Hair Dye for Women & Men That Lasts 4-6 Weeks - Vegan, Ammonia & Cruelty-Free - Create & Mix Custom Shades (4oz)

It lasts a very very long time. Love it. Non damaging. Easy application. Just follow the directions. Don’t complain about the color on things because I just warned you. It’ll stain a bit but it doesn’t last long. Just don’t over apply if you have shorter hair. Use just as much to paint it. No more no less. If it’s much manic panic has a shampoo to cleanse. It helps. Just so you know. I’m not a paid spokesperson lol just a fan. It’ll stain. Especially if you over color. Read the other reviews too. They got it right.

Watch out, this will turn pillows, shower curtains, headrests- you name it- red. My daughters hands were red for a week ( anytime she touched her hair, despite it being previously washed). The color lasts for quite a while, and when it does fade, its still somehow vibrant. The red fades to hot pink. The blue and purple fade nicely too. Just protect your surfaces, or theyll wear manic panic too.

For starters the major cons.I used this only once and it was a couple months ago. It bleeds and stains everything and doesn't come out of anything it touches including my scalp. By morning my pillows and fingers and anything I touched was red. Throughout the weeks of more rinsing everything would still be red including my face and neck. I had to use baby wipes every day to get the remnants off. I haven't been allergic to the previous manic panics I've tried but this one in particular has made my scalp super itchy and tender. I used electric lizard previously and had no issues with staining or itchy scalp. The only good thing about this dye was the color 3 months later is still like new in my hair and it's bright. But I wouldn't recommend. Not worth the trouble.

Very vibrant and bright, but it kept getting onto my pillowcases and surrounding areas despite washing all the dye out. I ended up having to use vitamin c and shampoo to make it stop leaking everywhere. Otherwise lovely just damn, it really stains. Fades to an orangey color.

I am a huge manic panic fan. I have tried almost every color. My favorites are all of their reds and pinks. They last a long time for me- I only wash my hair about once a week. It is a bit difficult when you first start using this product because you have to make sure to not get this dye on anything because it does stain very easily.

After reading some of the reviews, I feel people could use a bit more of a heads up on this product. So, here’s my honest review of this hair dye:Pros: —The color turns out really nicely. I have a medium brown natural hair color that fades to dark blonde/light brown at the tips. I can see the red color all throughout my hair, even in the darker brown areas.—A little goes a long way. My hair extends a few inches past my shoulders (like no more than 3 inches), and I only needed about half of the container or less to fully saturate my hair with the dye.—The dye is more of a gelatinous texture, it’s not very runny which is great when you’re a messy person like me. Runny dyes drip everywhere for me, and I normally end up getting some on my floor or counter (so I lay red/black towels down everywhere)… I didn’t have any dripping with this dye, which was super nice…Now it’s time for theCons: — This dye will stain ANYTHING. I’m talking your hands, neck, shoulders, face, back, hands again, your clothing, your pillow case, your sheets… you name it. If it touches your hair (ESPECIALLY YOUR HANDS) and that object touches something else, it WILL get stain on it. Luckily this stain is easy to get out if you get to it right away with hand soap, baby wipes (on your face/shoulders), and bleach (on any surfaces). I have not attempted to get the stain out of my sheets or clothes yet, but I do not have high hopes.—I rinsed the HECK out of my hair, I’m talking a half hour or more under fuggin COLD water (and I’m super skinny, so it REALLY sucks… I had to wrap up my hair afterwards and sit under my heated blanket for a bit so I didn’t feel sick) and I STILL have dye bleeding onto my hands and shoulders and pillow case. I followed the instructions to a tee and even rinsed until the water was “almost clear.”—It’s an oily dye, and it makes me feel a bit greasy. It’s to the point where my scalp is itchy from the greasy feeling, but if I scratch it, I’ll get red stain on my got dang hands. And yes, I did use shampoo while in the shower because I do NOT enjoy the feeling of greasy hair.Overall, because of the cons I would have given this 0 stars, but because the red showed up so pretty in my hair and I feel amazing with red hair again; I’ll give this product 2 and a half stars. Which I’ll round up to 3 for the sake of good karma.I hope this helps some people decide whether or not they wanna try this, but I’ll probably be going to the harmful, scawy box dyes again because they don’t explode into a pink stain hell like these do.

Used this on my daughter's hair. Giving it 2 stars because it did truly turn red. If I could give negative stars for the continuous color bleed I would! We rinsed and rinsed. My shower is pink. Anywhere she sheds a hair that turns pink. Her neck, shirts, earbuds, hairbrush, pillows are pink. She's shampoo'd her hair several times now. Still leeching color like crazy. Horrendous. Would NOT buy again. Would NOT recommend. Ps. The manic panic color removing wipes don't help much.

Left it in for the whole night, since it's not very damaging. Definitely came out with the color I was hoping for. My hair (about 2.5 months later) is faded but definitely still red.
