Manic Panic Semi Permanent Cream Hair Colors work best on hair that is pre-lightened:

1. Always wear protective gloves when applying and rinsing color out, and make sure to use petroleum jelly or a thick conditioner around the hairline and ears to prevent any unwanted staining.
2. Before applying color, shampoo hair using a deep cleansing shampoo. Apply color to freshly washed, dry hair.
3. Empty the desired amount of Manic Panic Hair Color into a coloring bowl. Apply evenly to hair with a tint brush. 
4. Do not apply directly to the scalp, start 1/2 inch from scalp. Saturate hair thoroughly. Comb evenly through the hair until it becomes frothy.
5. Cover hair in plastic cap and leave on for 30 minutes. For added intensity heat may be used.
6. Rinse hair in cold water away from face and body until the water runs clear. Do not rinse hair in the shower.
7. Once water runs clear, apply a thick conditioner to hair and rinse again until water runs clear. To maintain color, use a sulfate free shampoo.

Manic Panic Semi-Permanent Cream Hair Color FAQs:

A: Semi-permanent hair dye is designed to gradually fade out over time, typically lasting anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Permanent hair dye, on the other hand, is designed to last until your hair grows out or you cut it.

A: Start by washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any buildup or residue. Towel-dry your hair, then apply the dye evenly using gloves and a tint brush. Leave it on for the recommended time (usually around 30 minutes), then rinse it out with cool water.

A: Manic Panic’s Semi-Permanent Hair Color Cream works best on pre-lightened or bleached hair, but it can also work on darker hair if you leave it on for longer. Keep in mind that the color will likely be less vibrant on darker hair than on light hair.
