To apply your Manic Panic purple hair dye, start with dry hair. Once you have decided the style you would like to try, apply your dye to the sections of hair that you are colouring starting from the root. Using a tint brush is the best way to apply your hair dye. Once your hair is fully covered in dye, comb through it to allow the dye to become frothy and spread evenly. Next, leave the hair dye to process for about 30 minutes. During this time you can apply heat from a hairdryer if you would like to give extra saturation to the colour and therefore achieve more vibrant results. Finally, rinse your hair to complete your new purple hairstyle.

As with any hair dye product from bleach to hair dye, always make sure to carry out a patch test before you begin to determine if you have any allergies. Manic Panic hair dyes are free from many common irritants such as PPDs but it is still essential to carry out this step.

Once you have chosen your colour it is time to have fun with style. While you could opt for the classic full coverage of your brand new cover there are plenty of other options too.

If you are crazy about colour, then you may find that sticking to one punky shade is just not enough! Try an ombre, rainbow, or two-tone style by sectioning off your hair and applying the colour carefully to each section.

If you are new to dyeing your hair then you may like to opt for a dip-dye hairstyle. It is easy to achieve and super satisfying too. Simply choose how far up your hair strand you would like the new purple Manic Panic to be and then only apply the hair dye up to that point.

It is always a great idea to carry out a strand test before dyeing your hair as this can help with so many aspects of colouring your hair at home. Firstly, you can check that the Manic Panic purple shade shows up how you would like it on your hair. Secondly, you can check how long it takes to process the colour on your hair as this will vary based on your hair porosity and the colour you are hoping to achieve. And finally, it will help give you the confidence to dye your hair for the first time if you are new to this.

If the colour isn’t quite what you are looking for then you can always customise it by adding Manic Panic Pastel-izer. This can be a super fun way to create a style that is unique to you.

Manic Panic purple hair dye is a staple colour that every Dye Hard needs to try at least once and with so many style options there is sure to be a shade that will perfectly pair with your aesthetic!
