Achieve your own take on the Kylie Jenner Teal with Manic Panic
The Manic Panic range offers a plethora of vibrant blue and green tones perfect for creating your own teal-coloured hair dye formula. If you’re inspired by the Kylie Jenner teal moment, take a look at what you could create using the Manic Panic hair dyes.
Mermaid: This shade is a beautiful aqua-toned colour that makes a great base for any teal shade. Its ocean-inspired hue holds hints of blue and green creating a vibrant mermaid result. The Manic Panic Mermaid hair dye is popular for its high pigmentation, leaving hair with a vivid, fantasy-like look.
Siren’s Song: A vibrant, aquatic turquoise hair dye with a strong teal undertone; the colour is reminiscent of a serene ocean or a mermaid's tail, with a bright, fresh look that pops in both natural and under specialised UV light. When applied to pre-lightened or bleached hair, Siren's Song produces an intense, long-lasting hue, while on darker hair it gives a subtle greenish tint.
Atomic Turquoise: Manic Panic Atomic Turquoise is a vibrant hair dye that delivers a bold shade of turquoise blue. The colour has an intense, jewel-toned quality with cool undertones. On pre-lightened or bleached hair, it creates a bright, eye-catching turquoise offering hints of both blue and green.
You can easily create your own teal-coloured dye using these colours, whether you opt to use the colour directly from the pot or create your own custom hue. We know that teal incorporates both blue and green tones; adding a small amount of a deeper blue and a vibrant green could be your answer to achieving the ultimate teal dream. Follow this easy guide to create a Manic Panic teal shade:
To achieve a vibrant teal, you’ll need to pre-lighten your hair to a very light blonde, achieving at least a level 9-10. This ensures the colours will show up vivid and true to tone.
1. Atomic Turquoise: This shade acts as a fantastic base for the teal.
2. Shocking Blue or Rockabilly Blue: Add a small amount of deeper blue to intensify the richness of the teal.
3. Electric Lizard: If you want more of a greenish tint, you can mix a tiny bit of this neon green
Mix Ratios: Depending on how blue or green you want the teal to be, adjust your ratios. For example, mix about 70% Atomic Turquoise, 20% Electric Lizard, and 10% Rockabilly Blue for a balanced teal look. We recommend swatch testing your custom colour on a piece of paper towel before you choose to add more pigment and always add colour in small amounts, as it is easier to darken the shade than lighten it.
Now that you’ve achieved your amazing new teal hue, you’re going to want to maintain it to keep it as bright as you can for as long as you can. Semi-permanent hair dye is designed to gradually fade from the hair; attributes that can cause this include heat, products applied to the colour of the hair before application and even the longevity of the colour.
The Manic Panic Love Color™ Colour Depositing Conditioner in Teal Temptress is a beautiful teal-toned conditioner that allows you to easily maintain your colour at home or for professionals to use in the salon. Not only does this conditioner deposit a vivid colour but its highly nourishing formula leaves hair feeling and looking smooth. Its hydrating benefits keep the hair healthy which in turn allows the pigment to be more easily absorbed.
Other ways to help maintain your colour include:
Avoid heat. Heat from water, styling tools or even sunlight can allow the colour to fade much quicker. Heat penetrates the hair and opens the pores of each strand, whereas cooler temperatures will keep them closed and lock the colour in for longer. Avoid washing your hair in warm/hot water, avoid applying heat for styling and we recommend wearing a hat when in direct sunlight.
Use colour-safe products. Colour-safe products don’t contain sulphates or parabens as these ingredients can cause the colour to fade much more easily or even disturb the pigment and alter the outcome of your colour.
Avoid chlorine. Chlorine is not a semi-permanent hair dye’s best friend. Chlorine is a chemical which can easily fade or change your colour when it comes into contact with your pigmented hair.
Kylie Jenner's teal hair has ignited a bold hair trend for autumn. Using Manic Panic dyes and custom mixing, you can recreate this stunning look at home. With the right colour-maintenance routine, including the Teal Temptress colour depositing conditioner, your teal hue will stay vibrant and on-trend all season long.
