Yes, Virgin Snow is a toner, it's meant to take out the orange/bronze color from bleached hair for a more even blonde or white tone. It can also be used to tone down other Manic Panic colors to pastel colors or make them lighter in general. They now actually have a product specifically for pastel colorization.

I've used red (unbleached) & pink (bleached) on my daughter's dark brown hair. If you don't bleach your hair, it will have a slight tint but still looks good! If you want the full effect, then yes, with darker hair, you would have to bleach first. If you go onto the Manic Panic website, you can see actual photos of people.

I have dark brown hair, so I don't know, I wouldn't think so because it's not a dye, it's a deep conditioner. To be sure, why don't you test it first on a small area (leave it in for about 15 minutes and rinse) and see if it's okay to use. That way you can compare the test area with the rest of your hair to be sure it's safe on white hair.

It'll definently show up on the grey! But if your other hair is dark, and you want the color to show up, then yes bleach first

I'm dirty blonde and I used it on my hair when I had bleach highlights and it worked great. The only reason you might avoid it is if your hair is already damaged from bleaching it since the spray can damage it further. But if your hair's in good or decent condition I'd say it would be fine just start slowly to see if it's giving you the color you want.

No. It doesn't really do anything if you have darker hair. There is no bleach so it wouldn't turn your hair orange.

This product is a color lightener and it give a nice outcome for those who have light colored hair ( blond and brown hair) dark colored hair may become reddish but I really do not recommend using this product in your case ...

Because there is no peroxide you can use this as often as needed to keep your bleached hair toned. Although the color is semi-temporary (4-6 shampoos) I find after several uses it does seems to dye bleached hair somewhat and I can skip using it until I touch up my roots again. So sad Clairol discontinued this as it was the best. The closest thing I have found is Ion Color Brilliance Temporary Color Masque (available at Sallys and elsewhere). The color is not as strong but it is incredibly conditioning and shine-producing. The Neutral Blonde shade is actually golden but the the Beige Blonde shade is a neutral beige. There is also a violet-type for those who want ash without brass. Because there is no peroxide you can use this as often as needed to keep your bleached hair toned.

no. Your hair has to be stripped of any pigments in order for this shampoo to tone the hair a light ashy blonde. It's designed for people that bleach their hair

No. Mine is still beautiful and Auburn !! It will actually make the color look more rich. Remember, a little goes a long way.

I can't help much - I mix it with a medium brown to make the mix more "ashy". I really doubt that it will do anything to lighten any color hair but that's just a guess. Sorry.

I have honestly never bleached my hair (I blow dry it and curl it frequently though), so I don't know how it would work for your hair. However, for me, this has worked quite well in keeping my hair look clean, soft, and healthy!

Not unless you might leave it on for forty-five minutes or so. I am naturally snow white and use this product daily. It makes the hair look a "clean" white. If there is any tinge of blueness I don't see it.

It depends on your hair and how much red you want. I mix it with another Natural Instinct to get just a bit of red. I think if you use it as directed, you will get light auburn but if you want more red, choose a deeper color.

Yes. The developer is the best part, because it is very low volume and will not wreck your hair. Get it wherever you buy the bottle of semi-permanent color. Put two ounces into the application bottle (looks like a ketchup squirter at a hot dog stand) and add the entire bottle of color. Shake gently, let it sit a few minutes, then apply to roots first. I feel like you can't go wrong with this stuff, but I'm not a professional.

yes but make sure you also use the conditioner to get best results. Bleached hair is chemically damaged and it tends to dry up. So maybe get something that hydrates your hair.

I am not sure. maybe you have to use a cup of vinegar to suck it up and clean it... Otherwise I do not know..... I personally would use vinegar ever before bleach .... Sorry for no concrete answers....

The only time you need the crystal is if you have bleached your hair and you are using Born Blonde as a toner. To use this product apply like a shampoo to freshly shampooed hair that is still wet. Work it through your hair. Leave it on the hair for 30-45 minutes. Then rinse off. Your done. Just a little warning, it is a product that does not do well on hair that is darker then a med to light blonde hair or if you have grey hair. I have grey hair that gets a yellow cast to it once in a while so I use Silent Snow and it works great. Hope this is helpful.
