Our story

How we got our start?

Sisters and New York City natives Tish and Snooky Bellomo have been America’s darlings of creative hair color, and punk rock pioneers and tastemakers since their days in the original Blondie band line-up in the mid 70s. They went on to start the world’s first alternative beauty brand, Manic Panic.

What makes our product unique?

Independently and female owned and operated, Manic Panic continues to be the leader of the creative color revolution. Its legendary hair color has remained 100% Vegan and Cruelty-Free since its inception, with more shades than any of its imitators.

Why we love what we do?

Tish and Snooky are devoted to encouraging individuality, creativity, and self-expression. They have been empowering multiple generations for over 40 years.“We don’t just sell it, we live it!” has always been their motto.

Shocking Blue Hair Dye Color

Shocking Blue is a dark blue hair dye with purple undertones. This color can add dark blue highlights to virgin, unbleached hair, but for best results, we recommend lightening hair to very light level 9 blonde or lighter and toning hair that has yellow tones before use to avoid your hair turning purple.

Semi - Permanent Hair Dye
Fortified with Conditioners that Add Moisture to Pre-Lightened Hair
Ready-to-Use Hair Dye
Last 4-6 weeks on pre-lightened hair
Available in 49+ Shades

FAQ: Do I have to pre-lighten my hair before coloring?

Applying Manic Panic hair color to pre-lightened hair is the best way to assure that you will achieve the vibrant results that you see on our color swatches. Lightening with our Flash Lightning Kits to a pale blonde (level 9-10) will give the most intense results.

FAQ: How Can I Lighten My Hair Before Applying Manic Panic Dye?

We offer 3 bleach kits that will lighten your hair: BLUE LIGHTNING 30 VOL, FLASH LIGHTNING 30 VOL, AND FLASH LIGHTNING AMPLIFIED 40 VOL. BLUE LIGHTNING helps remove any unwanted brassiness in the hair, FLASH LIGHTNING AMPLIFIED 40 Vol is our super strength bleach kit, more powerful than the FLASH LIGHTNING 30 vol. All bleach kits will help you lighten your hair according to the instructions in the package.

FAQ: How Can I Achieve a Pastel Shade?

Blend our Mixer/Pastel-izer with any color to achieve a lighter, pastel tint that is totally on-trend. Combine any formula with the Mixer/Pastel-izer to create soft, on-trend pastel hues. This product works best when you use a whole jar of Pastel-izer with just a few drops of your desired color.

FAQ: What is the difference between semi-permanent & permanent hair color?

A semi-permanent direct dye hair color does not contain any harmful chemicals and relies on natural vegan dyes that mostly sit on top of the hair.

Manic Panic partially penetrates hair shaft with smaller color molecules than the permanent hair color.
Permanent hair colors contain ammonia and require peroxide to penetrate and bond with the hair shaft. Our product is gentle and does not require a developer.

GUILT-FREE GLAMOUR!

How to Dye Your Hair:

1. Wash hair with a deep cleansing/clarifying shampoo. Do not condition.

2. Dry hair with a blow dryer to make sure the hair is extremely porous.

3. Put on gloves and apply Manic Panic Hair Color using a tint brush making sure hair is thoroughly saturated.

4. Comb through the hair color to make sure it is evenly applied. The cream may become slightly frothy.

5. Cover hair with a plastic cap and leave on for 30-45 minutes. For more intensity, add heat.

6. Rinse with cool water away from your face and body until water runs clear. Do not shampoo.

7. Style as desired. To prevent color transfer or bleeding, always make sure your hair is completely dry.

Pro Tip:

Use a hair dryer to evenly apply heat for 5-10 minutes of your processing time. This will help to open up the cuticle and allow the Manic Panic hair color to better penetrate the hair strand. Make sure to allow the hair to cool completely before rinsing out color.
