Using this Manic Panic hair dye is easy. First, if you want the purest violet night color, bleach your hair to level 9 or 10. Then, apply the cream - formula dye directly to your hair as it's ready to use, no need to mix with peroxide. It's a semi - permanent color that will also condition your hair. Remember to do a patch test before using the product. Just put a small amount on a small area of your skin and wait to see if there's any redness or itching. If there is, don't use the product. After dyeing, your hair will be in good condition because of the herbal and protein complex. There's no need to worry about damage as it actually restores processed hair. Enjoy your new, seductive purple hair!
