Manic Panic - Cotton Candy Classic Creme Vegan Cruelty Free Semi-Permanent Hair Colour 118ml

Review for Hot Hot Pink.I used to use MP pink about 7 years ago and it would last so long on my virgin medium/dark blonde, and it would be so bright despite not bleaching and daily washing! I'd top up every 4/6 weeks to maintain.Now though... I have a balayage through my virgin hair and it's washing out SO quick from the virgin hair! I've washed 5 times between photos.Everything else:- You'll need to use gloves the first few washes if you don't want pink hands. Do not expect the water to run clear for some time. Wash 5 and it's since running pink.- Vaseline is your best friend when dying. Apply around your hairline, ears and neck.- It will stain your pillows if your hair is remotely damp when going to bed. Towels also. It will wash out though!- I've got away with not having stains in my shower, however I have a walk in and will aim the shower every few minutes to rinse the colour so it doesn't get time to stick.- 1. 5 tubs plus a tint bit of conditioner saturated my hair.If I think of anything else I will add. Overall not as impressive as it used to be.Perhaps they had to change the formula when there were changes in EU regulations?HOWEVER before I used this I did give Directions Flamingo Pink a try and that had 100% washed out in 6 washes and didn't take to my virgin hair at all, so will stick to this for the time being!

This hair dye is so easy to apply - you just unscrew the lid and there you go. Make sure you wear gloves as it stains everything!I have been using this on my great hair for a couple of years now, and I’ll keep using it until I get bored with purple. I use Purple Haze. Just try it.

A beautiful pink,

Beautiful colour but came off my roots really easy. My bleached roots became visible after washing it 4 times

I’ve been dying my hair green for almost 2 years now. I always used to buy lunar tides - cerulean sea. Which costs a bomb with shipping to the UK! I took the plunge + brought enchanted forest. But when opening and using it, to my surprise and delight. It was exactly the same as my regular lunar dye. I’m so so happy I will keep buying the enchanted forest dye now as it’s so much cheaper. My hair was bleached to a light ginger Color before applying the green 2 years ago. I have been topping up my green every 3 months since and it stays lovely for ages. I use cool or cold water to wash my hair and use a 99% natural shampoo and conditioner that’s doesn’t wash the Color out like regular shampoo and conditioners. I keep it out of salt water and swimming pools and avoid hot water washing. Half a pot did all my bottom end from my shoulders down (see picture) so goes along way for a small bottle.Also helpful tip, when you’ve finnished with your dye pot throw some conditioner in there and mix it up - add to your hair to conditioning it with colour for another little boost in Color between dyes

The colour is vibrant and keeps the brightness even after 10 washes. 6 weeks later just starting to put another one on top.

Used on prelightened hair. I loved how vivid this colour is initially. A stranger approached me in the street and called me a beacon. It wasn't as dark or as deep as I would have hoped for but that could be to do with how light my hair was before. The colour lasted maybe 2 washes before fading really quickly.So messy. Probably the messiest hair dye I have used in a long time. Red/pink everything! Pillows, neck, towels, clothes, grouting. It washes out of those things but for me the transfer of colour, looking perpetually sunburnt on my skin and pink/red nails, compared to how long it lasted and the colour, it wasn't worth it. It did fade a to lovely bubblegum pink!

I get it's semi-permanent but this barely lasts a month in my hair, was a bit disappointed by how long it didn't last
