My natural Hair color is dirty blonde, and I currently have bright red, Manic Panic Red in my hair. Do I need to wash out the manic panic first?

Not necessarily but keep in mind that the uneven color will lift unevenly with the developer you mix. You could end up with various colors in your hair due to previous dyes. IMO, just dying your hair with this a few times will eventually even it out. I would wash out as much of the manic panic as possible to get an even canvas to start with.

Be sure not to use any conditioner after you wash your hair before coloring. That seems to make a difference for me anyway!

Hi Aprisas, I just washed my hair normally to remove the product and then applied my hair dye as usual. It worked fine. I'm not sure what would happen if you didn't wash the product out of your hair first. I would worry that he coating on your hair would interfere with the hair dye sticking to your hair. Anyway, good luck!

Yes... rinse it out. I follow the directions and have awesome results. My hair was chemically damaged.. I have very fine hair and my bangs were breaking and looked awful. After a couple treatments with BabyFace and it felt like new hair. I love it!

The good thing is that you only need to go to a golden/orange if you have dark hair, but if you have highlights of blonde with your dirty blonde hair you should be fine... make sure you let it soak in for about an hour..I heard that if you wash your hair with vinegar you can also keep the color in longer. But that's not practical. The color fades if you are in the sun too! If you use color protecting shampoo it should last longer, sulfate-free. If you want it to fade, then you can always buy some boxed color and dye it to a normal color. GL!

The longer you leave the dye in the richer the red you'll get. I have almost brown hair and so my results are much darker. The lighter you are the color seems to stand out more vibrantly in my opinion. Especially with hi-lights. The color will bleed for a good week but will eventually slow down. Try to use some lavender oil to make the smell a little better. The more you dye your hair the richer the color you get. I've actually mixed different henna reds and get radical results. Its up to you tho. I've been using henna for a year and it never ever fades. I will always use it.It also helps to get a good deep conditioner to make your hair easier to brush through. Just remember to rinse hair thoroughly, as long as possible henna is hard to get out and makes your scalp itch. I also buy my own gloves, the ones that come in the package suck, their too big and cheap. Best of luck .

Actually they all will I even lighten my dark hair with the blond, I typically use different variations of red. Not only does it color but out coats, softens and makes my hair silky super shiny and bouncy. No chemical what so ever. Enjoy

I wouldn't. I own this product & the colors you see are true to color! I got the Medium Blonde & it looks exactly like my hair. It is very sensitive to water. It seems to fray. So I bought a flat Iron and that took the fraying out. It tells you in the packaging how to take care of it.

...Good morning, Mary, how are you doing today? I would like to answer your question well, but I really don't know about that, because I have never used any red color mix for my hair...maybe you can mix some red with the dark blonde and you would obtain some red shadow...at least you can try it for the first time and see what happens...I think it would be a nice option for your...sincerely, Nidia.

I would bleach first, so your color is even. The splat bleach works very quickly so keep an eye on it. My hair was a light brown and it only took 25 min. for it to come up.

1-2 fl oz is put in your red hair dye when your dyeing your hair red. It evens everything all out and looks terrific. The protein even keeps your hair coloring from fading to much. If you use fillers for different dyes you have to change the protein to that color. Blonde gets neutral protein. I don't know about putting it in your conditioner seems to much. Try a premade "Freida(?)" not sure about the company and buy Red shampoo and conditioner. I hope this works for you.

No, if you want the violet kind for blond hair then you need the red bottle. This is just a regular white shampoo and conditioner that is good for color treated hair.

Usually after about 4 to 5 washes you'll be left with a green hue for a while. Yes, it does wash out completely, but you'll still have lighter streaks of hair in certain spots for a few months. I have red hair so it wasn't to big a deal for me. I hope I could help.

This color bleeds less than manic panic does. Shades like red bleed more than the blues and greens. I blowdry my hair after the first few washes, but after that it doesnt bleed!

I know this is old, but for other people who may have this issue, try mixing crushed vitamin C with head and shoulders to make a paste. Apply to your head, cover with a plastic bag, leave it on for an hour, and then rinse for at least 10 minutes (necessary). Your hair may turn orangeish, but you can redye. I got out blue manic panic this way.

if you want a red color, i would NOT recommend it. I used it over non-bleached, dirty blonde hair, and it came out a faint orange. Manic Panic Vampire Red is a much better color if you want a nice red. Wildfire did not work for me and I tried it two times. I've been using Vampire Red for five years now and I love it.
