Has anyone ever used manic panic's purple? How does it compare? How long does it last? Does it bleed less? Thank you

Personally, I like the Pravana dyes much more. The color stays vibrant much longer for me (pretty much no touch-ups between my monthly new growth dying sessions), and is very, very pigmented (even diluted with conditioner the colors are very rich). There isn't much bleeding at all, and I certainly don't miss having purple hands/nails/pillowcases....

Manic panic is garbage compared to this product. It lasts for a couple months, you will dye your roots before you dye your hair again. It bleeds for a long time, the first week it got on my shirts but washes out super easily, by the second week it will just come out some in the shower. This product is the best hair coloring product I have ever used

I have only used this product, but my roommate used my leftovers after using Manic Panic's purple. She says that there is no comparison. Manic Panic's "doesn't last nearly as long" and fades pink, unlike this one. Just note that purple stains things more than other colors.

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 used this product with several Manic Panic brand dyes with no ill effects other than the usual degree of fading after several weeks.

It does not bleed more then any other bright semi-permanent. This purple did not last long for me (about two weeks of strong color), but I also was using it over already blue dyed hair.

No. I would use manic panic instead. Henna is a long process and rarely turns out to be the color on the box.

I haven't had a problem. I'm a good bleeder. I think the advise others have given should be helpful. Try holding it flat to the drop of blood. Also adjust the lacet and wash your hands in warm water before so that you can produce a better drop.

if you want a red color, i would NOT recommend it. I used it over non-bleached, dirty blonde hair, and it came out a faint orange. Manic Panic Vampire Red is a much better color if you want a nice red. Wildfire did not work for me and I tried it two times. I've been using Vampire Red for five years now and I love it.

I love this product. It doesn't have ammonia, resorcinol or paragons...however it does have peroxide. If it didn't have peroxide it wouldn't last at all. It's one of the gentler permanent hair color products. My hair is red so I'm a bad person to ask---red fades more quickly than other colors no matter what you use---however , Naturtint lasts as long as most permanent red dyes. I ale use Surya in between because it is SUPER natural and has no peroxide or anything else...it's vegan. The down side is it fades within 2 weeks.

I can only respond for purple and blue. If you put heat when dying it, for some reason it has more staying power and does not stain towels/clothes. It does not leak like temporary dyes. It says it's semi permanent however the purple was permanent, fades on tone.

No problem with the color bleeding. Just be careful this cloth is rough and may stick or pull on nylon fabric. Smooth on the skin but not good with other fabrics. I wash mine by hand after each use and air dry.

Mine only bleed once on my first shampoo...if you get a solfat free color shampoo and wash your hair with cold water it shouldn't run

In my previous response to you, I must add this product is very thin. I remember the real stuff to be a thicker liquid. I have gone back to Amway LOC. I use them straight from the bottle as a clothes degreaser as in the dribbles of greasy food down the front of my knit shirts. It works great. However, it cannot be left on colors for more than a few hours as the color will fade on the LOC spottings. Whites do not matter.

It looks like you would be receiving three packages of the hair dye - which would we enough for three applications. If you apply every 6-8 weeks, like most people, that would last you between 4 and 6 months. If you color every two, like myself, then it will last you a month and a half. The Revlon Colorsilk is less than $4 at Wal-Mart and the Revlon Buttercream (which is the upgraded version and sooo much better in my opinion) is less than $5. At less than $4 a box Wal-mart is a better deal than the three packs here on Amazon. Just something to consider!

I used the dark purple on my unbleached dark brown hair 3 weeks ago and it hasn't faded at all. The color lightens a little but it isn't any less vibrant. This is definitely a permanent color, but be careful when you shower because even now when I shampoo my water runs purple.

I just used some in a white wash(hot water, 1Tablespoon, normal detergent), one item had dark navy blue piping, and there was NO bleeding or fading.

Hey Blondie _ been there, done that!!! I know the balancing act. I Live it. Yes, this is the color you want, follow instructions and no brassy at all. Yay but, I fell asleep with it on for three hours, playboy white is what I got, not my favorite "Land O' Lakes" I have to fix it (been super busy) I will put a color on after doing roots to fix. Ok so your question- keep it about 1 hour with a shower cap (throw away process) yes it will be purple, and you will not have white hair it will be sexy blonde. From one to another xo

I haven't had any problems with colors bleeding or lighter parts looking off yet! If it's a new article of clothing with those features, I'd check to see if it needs a 2nd rinse if the dye is really saturated in the dark fabric.
