The start of any new hair colour adventure is a Manic Panic bleach kit. The specialist Flash Lightning® Bleach kits contain everything you need for preparing to colour your hair using Manic Panic hair dye. The bleach kits are available in different volume strengths depending on your natural hair colour and the colour you are using to dye your hair. The lighter the hair dye, the lighter you will need to bleach your hair to get the most vibrant results. On each hair dye product, there is a recommended hair bleach volume for the best colour results.

Before applying Manic Panic bleach, make sure to prepare everything you need. Always wear gloves when applying bleach to your hair to protect your skin – available from Manic Panic in a latex-free material. By having everything you need in one place you won’t get partway through bleaching then have to search for an extra tool or accessory. Manic Panic Flash Lightning comes in a box with everything you need in one place. In your Manic Panic Flash Lightning® hair bleach kit you will have:

• Bleach Powder: Dust-Free Formula.
• Crème Developer: The crème developer determines the volume strength.
• Mixing Tub: Mix your bleach powder and crème developer together.
• Tint Brush: For precision application and full coverage.
• Plastic Cap: Leave on the cap while developing your bleach.
• Gloves: Protect your skin from the bleach during application.

If you are planning to dye your hair with any of the colours from Manic Panic’s Creamtones range then you will need to lighten your hair no matter what your natural shade. Included in many of the hair dye images for each product is a demonstration of what the shade is likely to look like on a variety of hair shades. This means you can compare how vibrant the results are with Manic Panic Flash Lightning®  before and after.

Just like with any hair dye products, it is important to strand test Manic Panic Flash Lightning® hair bleach. This will allow you to check for any allergies and ensure the results are as expected.

Manic Panic Flash Lightning® hair bleach kit 40 volume and all other Manic Panic bleach kits are vegan friendly and NOT tested on animals.

How To Prepare Your Manic Panic Flash Lightning® Bleach

Always make sure to follow the Manic Panic Flash Lightning® instructions for the best results and a safe experience. Here are some hints and tips for Manic Panic Amplified bleach:

• Always put on your gloves before opening the packet.
• Empty the contents of the bleach powder into the tub while avoiding inhaling any powder flecks.
• Add the full bottle of crème developer to the tub and mix until you are left with a smooth solution.
• Use the brush provided to apply the bleach while avoiding direct contact with the scalp.
• Make sure to apply the bleach thoroughly and evenly for the best results.
• For the best results apply to dry unwashed hair.

If you only want to colour part of your hair then, depending on the design, you may find it useful to cover the hair you aren’t bleaching with foil before applying your Manic Panic Flash Lightning® 40. Make sure to read the instructions to see Manic PanicFlash Lightning® how long to leave to develop for the results that you want. Many people ask does Manic Panic Flash Lightning® damage hair? Like any other brand of hair bleach, if it is left on the hair for too long it can cause damage to your hair. In order to avoid this, simply check the hair every 10 minutes by removing a small amount of bleach and checking the hair. If it has not reached the level of lightening you are hoping for then simply re-apply the bleach.

Once you are happy with the amount of time you have left your bleach to develop, rinse out with shampoo. You will need to apply shampoo multiple times to ensure the bleach is thoroughly washed out.

There are a few types of Manic Panic bleach kits to choose from. Here are the differences to help you decide on the one for you:

• Manic Panic bleach 40 vol review: The 40 volume bleach is designed to give extremely light results which makes it perfect for achieving the brightest effect from the Amplified hair dye range or the most effective colour saturation for the Creamtones dyes.
• Manic Panic Blue Lightning review: The Blue Lightning kit contains blue toner to help you mute any brassy tones caused by the bleaching process.
• Manic Panic Flash Lightning® 30 review: If you don’t want to completely bleach away your colour then use the 30 volume kit to lighten your hair. This will lighten your hair to a less extreme level than 40 volume.

As you can see there are plenty of benefits to using Manic Panic Bleach Kit before you dye your hair for vibrant long-lasting results. The Manic Panic bleach kits have been carefully designed to limit the damage done to your hair during the lightening process while giving great results.

Always perform a patch test 24-48 hours before use, following instructions on the packaging.
