Anonymous asked: Hey modmad, I recently tried manic panic and it's all but washed out in a week! Gone from dark (like sonic but darker) blue to lavender! Do you have any tips for me? I'm still v new to dye
Woah! That’s surprising, I haven’t used all the dyes in their range tbh but that sounds like either a) your hair hasn’t taken the dye well, which can be helped either by bleaching the hair first and/or leaving the dye on for longer when you colour, or b) you might want to go easy when you’re washing it- I only shampoo once then condition, rather than the old lather-rinse-repeat pattern, but then I have short hair so I can get away with it. Some dyes do just wash out quicker than others, and some folks put some of the dye into their conditioner so they top it up with every shower to counter that, but those are the best tips I can give you! Also like, idk maybe try another colour if it keeps happening ‘cause that’s a bummer my pal.

rocketbeagle said: you can also use shampoos and conditioners meant for color treated hair. and the more times you shower, the faster itll wash out. manic panic says to leave the dye on for 20 minutes but i would always leave it in for around 2 hours and it would work much better
