lovethebrokengirl asked: How much did all of the hair dye cost?

Each jar of color is $10, but I usually don’t use more than 1/4th of a jar of each color. If you look at it by number of colors, ~$90, if you look at it by amount of dye actually used, a much more reasonable $25. :)

lussolyn asked: hello! well I'm thinking of dying only part of my hair rainbow. I wanted your opinion, would it be best just to dye the roots to a certain point or just the tips up to a certain point of my hair?

This is more of a personal preference, I’ve seen it done both ways and personally I prefer seeing the tips done. I think it would be easier for maintenance as well - if you were to dye the roots down, you might have colorful dye run into your natural color and stain it.

marieleafbread asked: Hello! I'm planning on coloring my hair with Manic Panic and was wondering if you could help me decide on which shades? I want to do mostly purple and have pink intermittently mixed in certain areas, I have medium blonde hair that will probably be slightly lightened before I dye it, and I want the colors to be a little lighter/brighter than some pictures I've seen on their website. Which purple and pink from them would you recommend and do you have any advice when it comes to using the product?

For lighter/brighter colors, I definitely recommend bleaching your hair to as pale of a blonde/white as you can get it - especially for any of the Manic Panic purples. They are the shades I have the most trouble with in my hair.

As for the shades —
Ultra Violet is a more blue toned purple. Looks purple outside, blue inside.
Purple Haze is my favorite of the purples, it’s a very pretty dark, but warm purple with good coverage and staying power.
Electric Amethyst is a gorgeous pastel color, but won’t show up unless it’s over pretty much white hair.
Lie Locks is slightly darker than Electric Amethyst, but still looks best over pretty much white hair.
Mystic Heather is a more pinkish pastel purple, again with needing to be over white.
Manic Panic just released a new color called Violet Night which looks really lovely. Haven’t tried it yet, but definitely have plans to.

For the pinks:
Hot Hot Pink is my go-to pink. It’s pretty dark when first applied, but after one wash goes to the perfect pink shade and stays vibrantly that way for weeks. By and far one of my top favorite MP colors.
New Rose is another that I love, it’s a little bit darker than Hot Hot Pink.
I haven’t had much success with Cotton Candy pink, I imagine it needs to be over white hair. Same with Pretty Flamingo, which appears to be slightly more neon.
Cleo Rose is a new pink, that looks like it will be slightly lighter than hot hot pink. Haven’t used it yet.
I’ve never used Fuchsia Shock, either, but it looks like it would be a pretty pinkish-purple.

Product use is pretty straight forward - wherever you put the color is where it will show up. If you put a darker color over a lighter color, it will take the darker color. Make the pink streaks thicker than the purple, as purple is heavier pigmented and will bleed into the pink when you wash. I sleep with my dye in my hair (I don’t know if I’d recommend it, but I never have problems doing so). Some people suggest applying heat with a blow dryer for more staying power. You can also wrap your hair in foil or saran wrap to keep the dye wet and active, which will also mean longer lasting color. Washing under cold water will help minimize bleeding and fading.

Sorry for the book report! I hope that this is all helpful information though. Good luck and have fun dying!! :)

iambutamerecat asked: That's the kind of thing that makes me want to walk up to a stranger in public, love it

Haha, I love when that happens! Thank you! :D

i-shout-at-the-devil asked: Hey! Your hair is absolutely gorgeous and I wanted to know how often do you wash it? Sorry if this sounds stupid or creepy xD

Not creepy at all, it’s actually one of the questions I get asked most frequently! :) I wash it once every three days when it’s freshly colored. If I’m trying to fade it out then I wash it every day.

chaotic-s asked: hey, question: should i dye my hair purple? i wouldn't bleach it beforehand, so it'd just be a darkish purple. the thing that's stopping me is a.) would it look good? and b.) would it damage my hair pretty bad? i've bleached a lot of my hair before and it makes it look all shitty and dead so that's why i'm not bleaching it anytime soon. i just want an opinion. thanks! xo

As long as the dye is semi or demi permanent and not “fully” permanent, then it probably isn’t damaging at all. Most colorful dyes sit on top of the hair and stain it rather than chemically altering it (what permanent dyes/bleach does). I would suggest using a brand aside from Manic Panic over unbleached hair though - I used to use RAW’s Deep Purple over my natural hair color and it worked pretty well. I’ve heard mixed reviews from most people with regards to that brand though, so maybe look into Directions, Punky Color or Pravana Vivids? Hope that is at least somewhat helpful!

frozen-babies asked: You are gorgeous and colored hair fits you so well! Where did you get your pentagram necklace?

Thank you! It’s actually just a cheap heartagram necklace I found on ebay a couple years ago - looks like there are plenty listed up there if you do a search for “heartagram necklace”. :)
