MANIC PANIC Classic After Midnight Semi Permanent Hair Color - Dark Blue Hair Dye for Women & Men That Lasts 4-6 Weeks - Vegan, Ammonia & Cruelty-Free - Create & Mix Custom Shades (4oz)

It actually conditions my hair, as they say! I don’t bleach my hair underneath this color, I actually put it on over a dark chocolate cherry dye I use on my whole head. I put this midnight blue dye on the bottom third of my hair on top of the chocolate cherry dye.This gives it a really nice, dark blue - almost dark purple color - and the parts of my hair that are highlighted blond streaks get a nice teal color - it’s a pretty mix that I get lots of comments on! It lasts pretty well, but I need to wash my hair with cold water to keep the color - I also re-dye with this every 2-3 weeks, but it’s so easy! I just color the bottom 1/3 of my hair with this midnight blue dye……I put my hair in two ponytails, put the dye on, then put the ponytails in ziplox bags, tightened with hair bands, and sleep with it on - then rinse it in the morning. I love this hair dye! Soooo worth the money!

Could not complain did the job

I'm a brunette and after one bleach process this is how vibrant it came out. Love it

finally went blue and yeah it really doesn’t play around just like they say. works great, looks great but also turns your body blue just while you’re rinsing it out in the shower. maybe if you can rinse it out in a sink you’ll be okay? otherwise… my legs are blue, my feet and ankles are blue, my neck, shoulders and every inch of my back are blue. leg hair is blue. all hair follicles are blue. fingers, nails and hands are blue. my hair looks great. getting all the compliments. bleached part is deep vibrant blue and my usual darkish brown hair is now super dark midnight blue. but besties… I am blue too ✨ you’ll get it off your hands and then touch your hair too much while drying it and they’re blue again✨use a different pillowcase for sure lmao. got it off my body during 2nd shower only for it to come back while rinsing conditioner out lol love it but I think I’ll go back to purple 🥹

Edit: PLEASE INCLUDE THE NAME OF THE OF DYE YOU ARE REVIEWING.This is much better (darker, more pigment) than the Amplified version, with longer staying power! I have yet to find a dark blue that doesn't have turn to an at the very least somewhat purple tone when using conditioner to cut (I've tried SFX, Adore, Lunatik, Sparks and Splat - not one navy-like blue in the bunch...). I always begin with a thorough bleaching (unless it's a root job - or just adding dark areas with Bigen), I mix After Midnight with a lot conditioner and apply liberally. In a separate bowl, I then prepare a small amount of Bigen dark brown hair dye, enough to cover my roots with enough remaining to work in to the rest of my hair - the conditioner already applied helps that part. I leave it in less than an hour after completing application (it takes a good 90 minutes to do, so I'm pretty much ready to rinse once I've cleaned up the inevitable mess - and the Bigen is FAST). I can't emphasize enough that the Bigen should be added to your hair at the very last, if not 10-15 minutes before rinsing!!! The company says it themselves: no matter what color you choose, given enough time on your head, all shades will eventually go to black. And it's permanent (but a powder, without lift!), so you would need to re-bleach if overly darkened. But, the result is worth it for me! My hair has both pastel smokey blues and very dark bits simultaneously... Love it!!!

The first photo is before, and second is after.Be warned, this color turns teal/green as it fades. It dyed my roots black, if youre looking for an alternative to black box dye, id recommend if you have naturally brown hair.

I've been using Manic Panic since the late 90s. Recently as the prices have gone up, the quality has gone down. Seems whenever I pick a new color it's gritty and old. This time it was the dark blue. I should've sent it back once I opened it, but I had a dream. It was grittier than wet feet at the beach. I put it on top of pink. Alas the blue completely washed out after the FIRST wash. Instead of having purple/pink hair it was just pink again. Due to the sandy and dry blue dye I had to mix it with the pink to loosen it up just to be able to apply it to my hair. All of that work for it to be gone after the FIRST wash!! I wish I would have given up on my awesome idea and sent it back. Then again I've had to return numerous different colors due to the dry/gritty/unusable texture of the dye I've been getting. If this keeps up this long loved company is going to go out of business. This sucks. Manic is the only dye I can use because every other dye stinks with unneeded stinky fragrance that I'm allergic to. I can't even dye my hair a normal color. Thanks Manic panic for squashing my hair dye dreams with a consistently worse product that isn't worth the time or money.

I'm giving this a mid review, for several reason, the color originally came out beautiful and my daughter was thrilled with it. 5 days after coloring we went to the beach and her hair turned a god awful seaweed green color. Even after a good washing to get all the salt water out, the color stayed icky seaweed green. By the time we left the beach a week later there was no hint of blue at all. Two weeks after getting home the green color faded to a odd pale green. My other daughter used the light pink color. It looked amazing the first week (she did not go to the beach), but after 2.5 weeks toy couldn't tell it wad pink anymore, more like a blonde color. I recently purchased another blue kit, after researching the effects of saltwater on dyed hair, decided to give it a try. We left the dye on for 3 hrs because I wanted a good solid treatment for her hair. It was so brilliant and beautiful colored! We won't be going anywhere near a beach, so I'm interested to see how long this lasts.
