The Manic Panic Classic Colours High Voltage range was the very first and remains the most iconic from Manic Panic. Launched in the 1970s, this collection of semi-permanent hair dyes has continued to grow with the addition of different colours. The Manic Panic High Voltage formula is designed to last for 4-6 weeks on pre-lightened blonde hair, depending on varying factors such as how the colour is maintained and the colour that has been applied. These iconic pots hold a volume of 118ml, the suggested amount for short hair, such as a pixie cut, to be fully saturated. Within the Classic Colour range, find a selection of subcategories that have been introduced to provide the same results as the classic pots but consist of a different volume size:
8oz High Voltage® Classic Hair Colour
The 8oz High Voltage® Classic Hair Colour consists of 10 colours, each of which can also be found in the classic 118ml range. The 8oz colours consist of the same ingredients, longevity, and maintenance needs as their counterparts in the Classic Colours High Voltage®; however, they provide more of the formula in one pot. The 8oz Manic Panic hair colour collection was introduced as a convenient alternative for those who require more product during the colouring process.
High Voltage® Classic Colour (50ml)
The High Voltage® Classic Colour 50ml pouches are available in 5 of the Classic Colour shades. This range is the perfect option for those who want to take their hair colour abroad with them as part of their hand luggage. Consistent with the 118ml formulas, the Classic Colour pouches hold only a volume of 50ml, making them the ideal amount for root touch-ups, dip dye effects, and adding small touches of colour to your overall look.
Creamtone® Perfect Pastel
The Manic Panic Creamtone® Perfect Pastel range is made up of four pastel colours: Dreamsicle, Sea Nymph, Blue Angel, and Velvet Violet. These lightly pigmented colours are suitable for pre-lightened level 10+ hair; due to their very pale colouring, these tones will not successfully produce a pigmented tone on darker hair. With the proper maintenance, the Manic Panic Creamtones are likely to last in the hair for 2-4 weeks; due to their light pigmentation, pastel tones will fade much quicker than those that are much brighter in colour. As with the High Voltage® range, the Creamtones Perfect Pastels hold 118ml of formula. The easy-to-apply hair dye pots allow the user to apply colour directly from the pot onto the hair, making for less washing up and a less time-consuming process.
Amplified™ Formula Colour
Found the perfect Manic Panic hair colour for you? The Amplified™ Formula Colour might be the ideal range for you! This range consists of eight existing colours from the High Voltage® range; however, these formulas have been adapted to provide longer-lasting results. The Manic Panic Amplified range features 30% more pigment than the Classic Colour range, so that your results can last 30% longer - we recommend being sure on your colour choice before application! Looking at Manic Panic Amplified vs Classic, the colour result doesn’t differ; you can still enjoy the same vibrancy of your favourite hair colour, only with the Amplified formula, you’ll enjoy it for 6-8+ weeks!
Amplified™ Temporary Spray-On Colour
If you’re looking to change the colour of your hair temporarily, try the Amplified™ Temporary Spray-On Colour. This range of colour hairspray is a great alternative if you are seeking a temporary hair colour change that can be washed out. The Manic Panic Amplified spray is available in five colours and a glitter spray; many choose this range for fancy dress parties and festivals. They are also safe for use on children, although we highly recommend keeping them out of reach and applying them under adult supervision. With the temporary Manic Panic spray, you can easily wash the colour out in 1-2 washes. If you find the colour is a little stubborn, try using a clarifying shampoo and warm water.
Professional Gel Hair Colour
Exclusive to our salon account holders, the Professional Gel Hair Colour is a unique colour formula designed to be applied using a professional technique. The professional semi permanent hair colour is a gel-based formula, rich in pigment, and can be found in seven colours and a professional Pastel-izer. The Professional range is designed to last up to 40 washes, depending on how often the hair is washed and how the colour is maintained, so it holds a long-lasting quality. This range can be shopped by Manic Panic salon account holders when logged in; if you would like to apply for a salon account, please visit our registration page for further details.
Love Color™ Colour Depositing Conditioner
The Love Color™ Colour Depositing Conditioner is your ticket to longer-lasting hair colour. The Love Color™ Conditioners are a perfect addition to any colourful hair care routine, providing you with convenience and ease when it comes to maintaining your hair colour. Using a Manic Panic hair colour conditioner is a simple and easy way to refresh your colour in the shower; use in place of your regular conditioner and leave to process for 10 minutes before rinsing. The Love Color™ Conditioners have been fortified using beneficial ingredients to help improve the health and integrity of your hair, all whilst also protecting your colour from fading too quickly.
UV Hair Colour
For those who want something a bit extra from their hair colour, try the UV Hair Colour from Manic Panic. Our UV hair colour options are available within our Classic Colours High Voltage®, Amplified™ Formula Colour, and Love Color™ Colour Depositing Conditioner ranges. The Manic Panic UV hair dye transforms your hair under UV blacklight with a glowing result! In order to successfully see the UV glow, the colour should be applied to a pre-lightened blonde base of at least a level 9. The UV hair dye is not to be confused with glow-in-the-dark; a UV blacklight is required for the hair to glow.
