MANIC PANIC Classic Vampire Red Semi Permanent Hair Color - Deep Blood Red Hair Dye for Women & Men That Lasts 4-6 Weeks - Vegan, Ammonia & Cruelty-Free - Create & Mix Custom Shades (4oz / 2pk)

I love this hair dye. It looks very good on my dark brown hair. I didn’t even bleach my hair or anything, because I just wanted the red to tint my dark hair. It came out brighter than I expected. The color also lasted me about 6 months in total, so it last longer than I expected. I’m sure it last longer, because I did reapply the dye two more times. I also added some of the dye to a hair dye-safe conditioner, so that would continue to deposit pigment in my hair as well when I showered. This product exceeds my expectations and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good semi-permanent hair dye. I’ve included a photo of the day after dying my hair and then I also included a photo from a few months after the initial dye.

Love this color

Love this product. Not as damaging on hair . Obit bad thing is, it stains so be careful. But so worth it for us reds

Manic Panic Vampire Red Color Cream 2 Pack Classic High Voltage:I used this product for a mermaid costume (I hate wigs), and I am super happy with the results. Honestly, if work would allow me to keep this color I absolutely would. HOWEVER I super did not expect it to show up as vividly as it did on my light-medium brown hair. (Picture attached)My hair was color treated (apprx 2 months ago) with a dark natural red-ish/brown color & highlights. I expected the highlights to be bright, but this stuff showed up allover. I did not pretreat my hair in any way. Washed well with normal dove shampoo the night before (apprx 24 hrs) & did not condition.The person helping me had never used hair-dye before. That’s how simple this stuff is. I used vaseline around my hairline & on my ears to keep from dying my skin which was a good call. We poured 1 tub of the dye into a bowl & they used their hand (with a glove) to apply it all over my hair. It took quite some time to apply (maybe 45 min) due to users having no clue what we were doing, and I left it on for around 45 minutes after finishing.The consistency is great so there wasn’t any unwanted dye mess in the bathroom. I cut open a trash bag & used it around my shoulders to try to reduce mess as well. Recommend one for the floor & other surfaces just in case. I have VERY long hair, and one tub was enough. I’m glad I got the two-pack just incase, but I only needed one.I rinsed with cold water & sulfate free shampoo/conditioner. The water never “ran clear” despite rinsing for a long time so I eventually gave up. I let it air dry & slept with it in a top-knot to finish drying. I slept on a towel which was a good idea. First red picture is after taking it down the next day. No heat. No styling. No products. The color is stunning & I’m obsessed. Again though: it is WAY brighter than everything I read (reviews included) made me think it would be.I washed it last night & was honestly trying to get a good bit of the color out - to no avail. I shampooed twice/conditioned once with sulfate-free shampoo/conditioner & used hot water. After about 30 minutes in the shower the water finally seemed to run *mostly* clear, but it was not as clear as I prefer. I shower at night before bed & only towel dry so it is still pretty damp when I lie down. Again slept on a towel & this was just as important ad after it was first dyed. TONS of transfer overnight. Last picture is today after it has finally air-dryed completely. My hair still feels soft & healthy after dying. I notice all my baby hairs going wild a ton more, but that is always the case after dye.My only complaint about the product is the color transfer after washing when wet. I can’t really speak to when it is dry, but I don’t believe I had issues with it being down against my white shirt when it was dry (but I imagine rain/sweat would be a problem). I almost never blow-dry my hair so if I were able to keep this color long-term the transfer would be an issue for me.Will update as necessary. I am trying to get the color out asap & will wash with regular shampoo/conditioner & hot water plus whatever else I can think of. Sorry, employers. Not thrilled about having to wash daily until it fades & honestly a little worried the faded colors will be more offensive to the employers than the dark red.Fyi: The review asks me to rate “drying power,” and I honestly have no clue what that is. So I’m 5 starring that one for benefit of doubt.

Always my go to red, has been for over ten years. I love the red velvet color it gives me every time. I just wish it didn’t bleed sooo much, like when sweating it appears I’m actually bleeding from the scalp lol. Stay clear of rain or be prepared to scare people.

no bleach required for a cute burgundy look. i have dark brown hair naturally.

Used this on my son's hair turned out great but be prepared it is messy and will bleed for almost two wks no matter how much you rinse or wash it . We rinsed his hair for half hour amd it still wasn't running clear. Then it bleed all over his bedding sheets from his hair, then on his arm and face. But it washed out of his bedding and off his skin pretty easily thank heaven. I will say we probably will never do this color again. We have done many other colors in this brand and it didn't bleed all over everything like this one did.

Nothing compares to Manic Panics vampire red. I've used it for nearly 30 years and I've tried others but nothing is as good. The price has really shot up and the container is smaller than it used to be but the dye is unmatched.
