Review (4/5): manic panic beware
i bought manic panic for the first time recently. i have been using permanent haircolor for 15 years and my hairdresser recommended using semi permanent color to avoid hair damage.
i applied it according to instructions but left it on for two hours instead of the 15-30 minute suggestion. the color is bold, i love it - just what i wanted. here's the bummers: it is the messiest stuff i have ever used! i used vasoline on my hairline and ears and it still dyed them. my shower curtain liner is now the color of the dye just from rinsing. i had to quickly scrub the calking and grout with bleach as the dye stuck to that too. my hands are dyed from the rinsing stage, so is my neck. i'm sure it will fade soon though.
my advice is to do the whole process in a backyard and rinse with a gardenhose...or rent a hotel room and let housekeeping deal with it.
hope this is useful to somebody
