Electric Amethyst

(First, I mix up the difference between purple and violet.. I know one is a bluer purple/violet, so I will just be calling this purple) This stuff is a unique color. And fades pretty rapidly. However, I LOVE the color that it fades into. It's a real fun experiment, watching the colors change. Like a tree's leaves in the autumn months.. If you don't like the color it fades to (I love it, it want from a bluish purple to a purplish blue to a light blue to an aqua color. ) then just re-dye your hair. If you don't like the idea of color fading, get used to it, or don't dye your hair unnatural colors. It does seem to me like it fades faster than other hair dye from Manic Panic, but it has also been a while since I have dyed it a fun unnatural color. This shade looks wonderful on my skin tone personally. Some people look good with other purples, and I found my purple. (Violet?) But this one is unique. I love it.

I am 43 Yrs Old I have been dying my hair weird colors since I was 16. I started out mixing koolaid hair conditioner and food coloring.That was a bit of a challenge. started using Manic Panic when I was 19. I read reviews on many of amazon's manic panic pages even artic fox's. there are a few things that could be going wrong for those dying their hair with either product. So I was writing this to per haps offer a bit of my own advice from experience. If you are bleaching your hair. Give your hair 1 day to relax and condition it after bleaching.Personally Olaplex No.1 is great however not to my experience to use the day you apply your manic panic/or preffered dye wash your hair with dandruff shampoo IE head and shoulders .. this will not strip hair the same as normal shampoo do not condition before bed is best time to put manic panic/arctic fox into your hair . wraps your head with something like seran wrap not tight obviously or use a shower cap. sleep with dye in your hair .NO it's semi perminant hair dye which means no harmful ammonia or other damaging agents. Rinse when awake . More you wash your hair the faster it will come out . Some hair types require for people to wash daily. I would keep to an dandruff shampoo. Personally I wash mine 2 to 3 times a week max and my hair doesn't fade so fast. UPDATE; it's been a month my hair has faded to a light purple.. I could probably go longer before it completely fades out. my recommendations do not pay attention to the ones who gave a bad review.Some are new and Manic Panic does not mention that the longer it is left in the longer it will last. That might solve some problems. I feel before you chose any semi perm dye to do a bit of research and make your choices by those of us who been doing this for years or a hair stylist.

I know Manic Panic has been around for a while, but this was my first time ever using it. While I didn't hate it, I probably won't buy it again. I was looking for more of a pinky purple than a violet purpley purple, but this was all I could find so I decided to make it work. My hair was a dark blonde that ombre'd into a light blonde when I started (first pic). I bleached it first (55 minutes) which turned everything orange (and my roots white!). So I mixed some of the Manic Panic with white conditioner to make a toner. I put that on my hair for about 15 minutes and rinsed. It came to a nice light platinum blonde color. Then it was time to dye. I made another mixture of about 1/4 white conditioner with 3/4 color and slapped that on my head. I mixed conditioner with mine to keep it from being TOO purple. If you want that dark WOW PURPLE, then don't do what I did. I put on a shower cap and kept it on for about 4 hours. After rinsing, I wound up with a weird silver color with blue tips and roots (second picture). Two days later, I did another round of color. This time I did 2/3 color and 1/3 conditioner. I left it on for another 3 hours and the color came out WONDERFUL. It is absolutely beautiful and I got so many compliments on it. I am a little upset that this washes out almost completely after 2 washes. Usually temporary color lasts at least a week (4+ washes). I probably won't use this color again unless I need to make a toner. It works PERFECTLY as a toner. Seriously. The best I've ever used. My hair has never gone from yellow to silver so quickly and easily.

I bought a few of these- the navy and the bubble gum pink. The pink I'm super disappointed in- it must need to be virgin hair or bleached blonde for it to make a difference. Which is odd because that is not true for this purple. I was highly skeptical of this shade since the pink was a bust, it looks thin, and it doesn't have any harsh chemicals to set it in vibrantly. I left all three in my hair for hours, and while the pink originally took well enough, once it came out, it just never wanted to go back in. This purple however, holy cow!! It has lasted just as long as the Splat Turquoise I also had in there. And it was ELECTRIC purple. Somehow this purple managed to outlive almost every other brand I had on my rainbow hair. Hopefully you get the same results, I never would have guessed it! My picture shows all the various colors I used- the chunks of hair were bleached to a pastel sort of yellowy-white since I have previous color in. the purple is up top and the pink below....obviously :P I may not use these again because while beautiful, it was a pain to reapply and sit for hours just to have it barely perk up the color it once was. I may go for a more lasting and yes, unfortunately more caustic- dye. But for how nicely they took originally and how nicely they smelled and how nicely they faded out- I'm not mad. The pink faded out to a greyish-lilac that I actually really like, and the purple -when it finally started to leave- was more of a blue-purple and probably would have just gone to blue forever after that.

ほんのり紫な青です。 発色はかなりいいので最初はインナーや毛先からお試しを。

It turned out different on my hair not purple it became blue

Très bon produit

Le couleur que j'ai prise était un violet clair, mais après le rinçage la teinture est ressortie bleu/vert. Mais ce n'est pas vraiment la faute du produit. Si vous vous décolorez les cheveux et que vous voulez vraiment un violet, décolorez les un maximum (Si possible blancs). Si vous avez les cheveux légèrement jaunes (comme je les avais) le violet va être complètement absorbé et il ne restera que du bleu ! Aussi, un seul pot n'est pas assez. J'ai les cheveux assez épais mais très court (Pixie cut un peu plus longue), et un pot n'as pas suffit a recouvrir toute ma tête uniformément ! (Le résultat est très "patchy", résultat j'ai recommandé plus de couleur !) Conclusion : Renseignez vous un maximum sur la théorie des couleurs (Ou décolorez vous les cheveux complètement blancs !) et prenez plusieurs pots ! ^^ Sinon bonne marque, elle est bien absorbée et ne dégouline pas des cheveux pendant des heures pendant le premier rinçage contrairement à certaines couleurs de supermarchés.

Malgré 3 decolo et 2 applications, le rendu au bout de 2 lavage est définitivement bleu... Assez déçu ! Le bleu est jolie cependant mais ce n'est pas la couleur que je souhaitais..
