Manic PanicAmplified™ Semi-Permanent Hair Dye 118ml (After Midnight®)[Amazon-developed Certification] Compact by Design

I'm always chopping and changing my hair colour, and this was the first time I used manic panic and I chose the AMPLIFIED AFTER MIDNIGHT BLUE DYE. The advice is always to pre lighten the hair, with bleach if needed.I decided against this has I had already pre lightened my hair (but not bleach) when I dyed it pink 4 month's ago. And couldn't be bothered to wait for the pink to totally fade and start right from the beginning. Blah, blah.Being an insomniac (and impatient) was an advantage for when trawling through the Internet and YouTube looking for advice on dying straight over the pink. The majority outcome was not to as it would be a yucky colour . But I found 1 video that did take that risk and it turned out beautifully. So I decided to take the plunge.I put on cheap plastic gloves (my advice is to use washing up gloves (I wish I had. And make sure that they are ones you won't want to use again lol)), which did tear hence my lovely blue hands. And smothered protelium jelly around my hairline and top of my ears. This is a messy process and preparation is everything.I emptied the contents into a bowel and added a squirt of WHITE coloured hair contiditioner just to lighten it a tad. And applied it starting at my roots. Once fully covered I got clingfilm piled my hair on top of my head and wrapped it in the clingfilm and left it for 3 hours (manic panic advice is 30 mins, but I've found for myself, the longer the better). As you can see (my pic's aren't the best as I'm not the most photogenic), the only way I can describe the outcome is WOW!!! WOW!!! It looks so much better in 'real life'.The blue obviously has attached itself to the pink and the rest of my virgin hair a blackish colour, which thankfully covered my natural sparkly bits.When I wash it next, I will use cool, even cold water, if I'm feeling brave and colour saving shampoo/conditioner. And in between washes dry shampoo (which is my new best friend and should be yours too), as every wash reduces the colour and vibrancy. So I wash my hair once or twice a week.I've had so many compliments the most I've had with any colour.I gave 3* stars for long lasting as I've only been blue a week, so time will tell.I would recommend this colour and brand, and I can't wait for when I try another colour in a few months x

It is a semi permanent dye so it will wash out considerably over time. I re dye my hair every couple of months (bleach the roots ect too so the colour is more vibrant), and have been doing so for nearly a year and my hair is still healthy so as far as damage goes it's very minimal.

Really good product! Resistant to washed and very vibrant!!

When it says ultra-violet blue, just assume a very bright blue! More electric blue with no purple tones. Good saturation of colour though.

I've tried almost every blue dye created and I keep coming back to this one. It's not the cheapest but for me its the perfect shade of blue and lasts a good while. The consistency is very thick however which makes its harder to squeeze out the bottle, I wish they made this formula in a jar container too.. anyway for best results put on dry hair and shrink wrap your head..leave in as long as possible..then rinse and enjoy. Like all colours try to wash your hair as little as possible..dry shampoo is your friend.

Amazing dye easy to use and product came very quickly

I've been using the normal manic panic for years and never had an issue. But I decided to give the amplified version a go with the promise of long-lasting colour. Nope! I've never had colour wash out of my hair faster than this stuff. after the first wash it had faded a lot and after the second it had gone almost entirely. As I said, I've been using manic panic for many years so I know that I haven't messed up the dying process and I haven't washed it with anything that would strip colour. Found an old pot of the original manic panic and put that in my hair, still strong colour after 4 washes. the fact that this is more expensive and lasts nowhere near as long is ridiculous

This colour is brilliant. I’ve spent years using different shades of permanent purple “LIVE” hair dye and I was fed up with my ends going orange after a couple of weeks!I tried the manic panic purple tub dye a couple of months ago and it was great the tones of purple and blue were really good so I thought I’d try this one and it’s even better! I’ve got dark brown hair and the dark bits went purple and the lighter bits went electric blue. The colours blend really well through the different shades in your hair. I love it and for a temporary colour it lasts really well. Will be sticking with this dye from now on. Also there’s no nasty smell when you put it on and it doesn’t burn your scalp like other hair dyes do.
