Do I need to bleach my dark blond hair if I want to use Manic Panic?
Answer:
It depends. Yes and no. Manic Panic makes these coloring tools:
- Flashlightning bleaching kit
- Classic cream formula (semi-permanent color)
- Amplified cream formula (30% stronger than classic semi-permanent color)
- Dyehard temporary hair color styling gel
Both semi-permanent colors are intense pigments and fade/wash out slowly. You may use them without any bleaching process. However, your color will not turn out as vivid as if you would use a bleach (viz image).
If you use any gel on non-chemically treated hair, it will work, but it will last until next shampoo only.

I always wondered over if Manic Panic was too rough on the hair after a bleaching procedure, what about using Wella's Special mix of pure colors for a safer effect?
ReplyDeleteActually, it is not the pigment that is damaging. It usually is the bleach. If you could achieve the very vibrant shade on your hair without bleach, then it is better to omit bleach and use the product that will do the trick with just the permanent mixture.
