Hair Color

In my last post I mention how I didn't like manic panic when it came to dying my hair crazy colors. I wanted to verify my reason (my own personal reasons) on why I really hate using manic panic. Hopefully you could agree with me, but if not that's perfectly fine too.

Reasons I don't use manic panic:

 

1. Its messy. Most of you reading this are like, "DUH IT'S MESSY, IT'S HAIR DYE!" Well I know but I mean its messy in a sense that when grabbing the goo out and put in on your hair it doesn't grab well and usually its a fight to keep it from falling to the floor or your face. I even tried using a hair dresser brush to apply the dye but it Favorited the brush more then my own strand of hair. Maybe its just me.

2. Cheetah Spots!Like I mention above about it not grabbing my strands of hair this becomes another problem because spreading the stuff to cover your whole head or just a couple of streaks is difficult cause it doesn't want to spread or stick. Everyone hates when after a dye they notice that their hair became a weird ugly cheetah print due to the dye not hitting certain spots. IT'S THE WORST!

3. Not Always what it seems!When I got the junk in my hair I make sure its an even amount applied. After the long wait under a shower cap and dryer..I personally will wait like 3 hours before washing it out. I know that's bad or frowned upon but I've always done it this way and my hair comes out bright and gets every strand an even shade of color. I hope in the shower and wash it all out until the water runs clear..which takes forever! Is it just mean or does anyone else have the same issue with any hair coloring product..like a basic hair color dye job I still take forever to that clear water the box speaks about. I get out of the shower and air dry my hair and BAM the color is crap. Seriously why isn't it cotton candy pink..did I do something wrong? The color is dull and not bright at all it's more like a pastel which is pretty but seriously not what I wanted.

4. Fades like a plushie in a car window for 5 years. Every hair color fades, I got that. But they don't fade with in a short period of time. And it's not just cause its pink cause I've personally did my hair in every color except orange in manic panic brand. Shampoo is like a destroy of hair color for anyone, that's why they make awesome shampoo that doesn't do that. Yeah that's right I was my hair with Sulfur Free products/color shield blah blah junk all the time and manic panic is the only one that fades stupidly quick with one wash. I even become like a nasty hobo or something and wait until my hair is to greasy to pass off with just a pony tail. But once I step in the shower and my hair hits the water I basically just stand there and watch the color wash down the drain..why the hell is the water still not clear?

Those are my reason. They are not that bad but definitely something that bothered me enough to leave manic panic alone. Keep note I have not tried the new amplified version that they sell at Hot Topic so that could be a lot better.

Now when I dye my hair funky colors I usually stick with these two brands:

 Raw I got from Hot Topic and its my personal favorite cause you actually have more colors to choose from then Splat. I however do like that Manic Panic has a crap load of colors to choose from. Raw is good cause it clings to you hair nicely. I'm not sure if it has an oil in it but it sticks and doesn't move. Which helps out a lot cause no cheetah spots.  The color comes out nice too and it doesn't fade to quick.The teal how ever when I tried it came out more green but I did leave it on for to long. However I never had any other issues with the other colors.

Splat I get from Walmart and CVS. Now the colors are limited but this product has the best result, in my opinion of course. It's down fall is that it's super messy and if you don't let the water run clear when you washed it out after the process then it will bleed...EVERYWHERE! This color even shows up great on dark hair too.

So those are the two products I always use. I hope this helped out anyone and please don't hate on me cause I don't care so much for Manic Panic. My reasons could be stuipd but they are my view and I'm just sharing.

 So tell me what your favorite hair color brand is to use? Either funky colors or regular! I'd love to hear. 

 Till Later my fellow Monsters!
