[@lindsayceara]

she mixed Manic Panic infra red with Manic Panic purple haze. but she said she usually uses vampire red instead of infra red.

You're so adorable!! I can't wait to try this color mix !! Thank youuuu

Beautiful hair! Great advice!

[@izstrella]

Your hair is so beautiful! Thank you for the tips!

[@giuliafalchetti6568]

Hi! You're hair are stunning! It's just right the colour I've been looking for! After I saw your video I tried to dye my hair with vamp red by manic panic and I am very satisfied with the result! So, thanks A LOT for the tips! What lipstick were you wearing? It's beautiful and it matches very well with the colour of your hair!

[@Misasaur]

It's been a while but I believe its Rimmel's Kate lipstick colour #107!

[@juliepatchouli8882]

Hey girl! Love your video! This is the color I’ve been after for a few months now. Finally took the plunge and let my hair dress dye me plum but I’m craving the reeeeed. It’s about 3 weeks HORRIBLY faded now so I’m gonna give your formula a shot. I’ll report back! Haha! In the mean time, you should do a little search on “DIY color depositing” shampoo/conditioner with semi permanent dyes. I’m “dyeing” 🤣🤣 to know if it keeps your color as vibrant between dye jobs and some people claim on KZbin! 😊

[@freaksntreats5583]

It does work, ive been dying my hair red for years. I actually put my leftover dye into my shampoo and conditioner. I only use my shampoo every 2 weeks, in the meantime I will co wash my hair with my DIY conditioner. I out the conditioner in my hair at the beginning of my shower, do everything else, then rinse my hair. In total my conditioner stays in my hair for about 30 minutes. My red hair dye lasts me 2 months before I have to touch up, but by then I have to bleach my roots. Recently, I have been letting my roots grow to give myself a shadow root.

[@whydothistothebro4529]

You remind me of the girl who’s the main character in the split movie.

GREAT TIPS - THANK YOU!

Amei a cor do seu cabelo, qual o nome da cor que esta usando?

[@karinavirgo5145]

Ooh I love this. I have ultra violet and infrared.hopefully that combo will work similar.

[@Misasaur]

Will likely end up similar! You might need to add a higher ratio of the ultra violet to make up for infrared being more orange toned.

[@karinavirgo5145]

Yes came out similar. In the sun thpugh has a beet root kind of color that pops through. I love it. I ended up using between 1/3 to 1/2 of the ultraviolet.

[@sagenora6875]

On the whole removing hair color from things. I've been dying my hair red for years now the brand Kaboom! Spray it on and leave it there for a couple of minutes and its GONE .

Thank you!

[@jennaanderson6106]

Well aware of the staining but started a new job 3 months ago passed probation Friday so Monday mornings a bright new me in the factory let's see if the boss likes it as much as I do 😆

[@kelyann2529]

thank you!! i recently dyed my hair burgundy with a garnier dye three weeks ago and it’s already faded despite me touching it up last week so i’m gonna go for the manic panic dye & report back when i use it :)

[@Misasaur]

Oh no! box dyes are the worst! They don't last as long as they should and its really difficult to bleach out whatever is leftover! Manic panic is pretty good. It does fade from the burgundy fairly fast but you end up with a red and eventually a pink so it still looks nice as it fades. Good luck!

[@kelyann2529]

Misasaur i mixed manic panic + adore dye and my hair came out like yours!!! slightly brighter but i love it.

[@Misasaur]

Awesome! I glad it worked out for you! Hopefully it won't fade too fast!

[@cleocatra9324]

You look super pretty with this red

[@monicam2002]

I really wish I could have this color without all the maintenance! Maybe some day they will come up with something! I work out and sweat a lot, I don't want to sweat red! LOL! And I LOVE white! I love white sheets! I love a good white T-Shirt.. I suppose this will have to stay a dream.

[@Sakurako333]

God you look gorgeous. If I could achieve a darker version of what you had I would be so happy. I'm a welcoming hostess and I don't want to damage my hair so I won't bleach it nor dye it in too bold colors. But DAMN you brave guys are awesome.

[@theperfectnailshop]

Infrared & Purple haze 1/2 each start with red & add on purple

[@Jestterdaii]

Does it dye roots/virgin hair?

[@nataliemoonsings]

Does the purple make it darker?

[@jasmijnvansprengel]

Hi!! I'm a natural ginger and really want to try this. My hair is natural for the most parts but there are still some blonde highlights left at the bottom. Do you think this will work? And with the fade out? Because I'm probably going to let it fade out until I have my natural hair colour again.

[@Misasaur]

Hey! So my thoughts here are that the blonde parts may fade faster and I'm not sure it'll completely fade back to your natural colour. I've never tried to fade a colour out completely but I've let it fade for months and still looked like a mix of the colour and the colour underneath. I've never tried colour removers either, so I'm not sure if that would bring you back to your natural colour. I hope that answers your question enough!

[@softlyrained]

does mixing the dye with your conditioner for upkeep change the color? it seems like that would dilute it and make it a different shade once you put it on your hair? also do you have any tips for getting even color throughout your hair?

[@Misasaur]

For the mix for upkeep, it doesn't change the shade if the colour of it is lighter than your hair I've found, I just helps bring the brightness back into it. I try not to let the colour fade too much before I do that. Sometimes I'll mix in a larger amount of dye with the conditioner until it looks like the shade of my hair and that works as well without using as much dye (I hope this makes sense its a little difficult to explain) And to get even colour throughout just make sure all of your hair is lighter than the colour you want. So for this colour, I can get away with brassy spots because the red is much darker and just covers it. Luckily with reds, brassy tones blend right in. For colours like blue/green or pastels you'd pretty much need everything to be completely blonde first.

[@softlyrained]

@@Misasaur okay awesome that definitely makes sense! thank you so much for the helpful information + the video

[@perlazamora8908]

I have a dirty blonde for the middle and tips and roots dark brown but mainly going for a burgundy, would I have a light red or burgundy?

[@Misasaur]

If you use a similar colour mix to what I did in the video without bleaching you'll probably end up with the blonde parts looking burgundy and the roots wont have a noticeable difference. These dyes don't have anything to help lift/bleach so they don't show up well when put on top of darker colours. I bleach my roots so my colour in the video is what it looks like over a light blonde. Hope that helps :)

[@kittisochaczki128]

Thank you for this video, this is the exact colour I was looking for. My hairdresser gave me a full on pink hair, when I was asking for cherry red, so now it is a constant battle.. Since then I am trying to achieve a dark red colour , but even dark red hair dyes coming out as light red/pinkish whatever..as when itfades, its keeps coming back to very light pink :( I will try this out tomorrow, however I am very concerned about the stains and bleeding out. It is really bad? Thanks a lot x Also any colour safe shampoo tip that works for you?

[@Misasaur]

Late reply but any colour safe shampoo will work. Some brands have red specific ones if you want, or you can just add a bit of dye into your conditioner and it's basically the same thing.

[@okayyalyssah6276]

Hi! I bought the two colors you recommended and I'm a little worried because I am planning to wear a white dress to graduation after dying my hair. How do you suggest I control bleeding if my hair is medium length?

[@Misasaur]

That's a tricky one, I'd say your best bet is to dye your hair a few weeks ahead of time & try to rinse it a bunch throughout the few weeks.

[@rubensvanswieten6853]

Next time use vinagar 1 spoon and water ( azijn dutch) after colloring.

[@MzNatalieMoon]

Does purple haze and vampire red create a dark red? I want a dark maybe like a cherry red

[@Misasaur]

It does! if you want it even darker you can use a *very* small amount of black dye. Add it into the red very slowly and check the colour by brushing it onto a paper towel, it wont give you an exact colour but it'll give you an idea

[@evelynejobin]

I did approximately 4 parts vampire red for 1 part purple haze on my pale red hair , but it turned out kinda purple pinkish deep Burgundy, doesn't rlly look like yours. Should I add some red on top or wait for it to fade a bit and then add some red??? Irdk what I should do cuz I don't hate the color but I wanted it to be more discreet yk, for school (were not allowed unnatural colored hair)

[@Misasaur]

Hm that's a tough one, to be honest using these semi permanent dyes aren't great for having natural looking hair because it fades really fast and if your hair is bleached under it will fade into a brighter red. You should be able to add red if you're trying to get it more burgundy but I'm not 100% sure how it will absorb into your hair right after dying it. So it might be a good idea to wash it a few times first.

[@evelynejobin]

@@Misasaur thank you so much!! I'll definitely try something

[@jessicacady3736]

What did u use to bleach ur hair I have black black hair so I need to bleach before the red but not sure what to use to make it the lightest possible so I have the best red outcome (if that makes sense) plzzzz help thank u sooo much for this review 🥰🥰🥰

[@Misasaur]

Hey, this is gonna be a little long. SO initially I had gone to a salon to get by hair bleached because I had previously used dyes on it and knew I would not have been able to do it myself (it would have been very uneven). When I bleach my roots now (they are naturally very dark brown) I use any blue powder bleach with 30 or 40 vol developer! You don't need it super light or have to worry about it being more yellow than blonde because the red will fully cover it but yes the lighter your hair is before dying the more vibrant the red will be.

[@tammysaccount6517]

are you burning incense or was that a orb behind you?

[@ashleybeasley3964]

Beautiful color I was debating going red and after watching this I’m so doing it!! Btw where did you get the black sweater you’re wearing? It’s so cute! ♥️

[@crystalrosewhite]

Thank you! Saved me so much trouble

[@Misasaur]

No problem! If you have any questions let me know! :)

[@nimsaylagaz]

So your hair has to be fully dry before adding the manic hair dye?

[@Misasaur]

That's what suggested on the bottles for this specific product yes!

[@caterinacroce781]

what are the two colors of the Manic Panic that you used? could you write them please? I do not speak English well and I could not understand which colors you mixed .. However, really nice, congratulations! 😍

[@Misasaur]

Hey! I mix vampire red and purple haze!

[@jadereade2563]

But I the video you said infrared?

[@Misasaur]

@@jadereade2563 Sorry I'm just seeing this now, yes in the video I used infra red because my local sally's was out of vamp red. I usually get vampire red because its slightly darker.

[@Sakurako333]

@@Misasaur Hi, about that, did you notice any difference using InfraRed + Purple Haze instead of Vampire Red + Purple Haze ?

[@ana-mariabolea6376]

After the first week of dying your hair, can you wear light clothes like white or it will stain?

[@Misasaur]

Using this dye it will most likely stain light clothing, yes. Keep in mind that means pillow cases & towels so be careful!!

[@ana-mariabolea6376]

Misasaur the sofa counts too? And if a hug someone or put my head on someone’s soulder it will stain?

[@Misasaur]

@@ana-mariabolea6376 Maybe only before the first wash.. then you should be fine unless your head is actually rubbing against it/them. And also if its wet it will transfer. Usually its pretty easy to get out but I'd be careful with whites or stuff you cant wash. Sometimes I like to use an old t-shirt on my pillow just to avoid staining it.

[@iaminqa]

So if you keep the temporary dye for 30 mins, is it gonna stay permanent?

[@Misasaur]

No it's still a semi-permanent dye. It takes at least 30 minutes to process, if you rinse it earlier it won't hold at all and you wont end up with the colour you want! Semi-permanent dyes last anywhere between 3 weeks to 3 months depending on a lot of different factors. In a lot of cases they fade but never completely rinse out.

[@keyrivelasquez2086]

How do you bleach your hair?

[@Misasaur]

I use a blue bleach powder (doesn't really matter which one) and mix it with a 30 volume developer. I had originally gotten my hair bleached by a professional so I've only touched up my roots myself. I kinda recommend doing that because it can be really difficult to get the bleach in your hair evenly by yourself in one go. Even just for my roots I sometimes have to do it in two steps if it's taking too long.

[@elizabethmelendez1467]

Loving this color. I dyed my hair magenta n it did not come out at all. In order to get your beautiful color I would need to bleach all my hair? I've never bleached my hair before

[@Misasaur]

It depends on your natural hair colour, I have medium brown hair and I had to bleach it to get this colour. I first got it bleached by a professional and now I bleach my own roots as they grow in. These dyes don't have any bleach/developer in them so they wont dye any lighter than the base colour you put them on.

[@elizabethmelendez1467]

It's light brown but I've dyed it a few times black.

[@Misasaur]

@@elizabethmelendez1467 from light brown you miiiight be able to do it. Just keep in mind that the lighter the base colour, the more accurate the dye colour is going to be. You could also look up "bleach wash" as a way to lighten your hair but not fully bleach it.

[@elizabethmelendez1467]

Ok thanks so much for the info. I'm hoping to get your hair color. 😄

[@yazreyes2486]

Hey! Just from my experience, since I have naturally dark brown hair, I use HiColor from L’Oréal to brighten it. No bleach required! It’s specifically for dark hair tones. There’s multiple reds that u can use but I generally go for Magenta + Intense Red. Then after about a week or two, I touch up with manic panic vampire red & the color looks absolutely amazing :)

[@Indi_bite]

how do you keep it from bleeding onto things? i get its going to fade but, it gets on my neck and when I sleep it gets on my face and arms and its a mess. when you sweat, do you just let it drip red? is this the price of dying your hair red LOL

[@Misasaur]

Usually its just until the first wash that it's bad, but the longer you rinse it out and the more washes you do the less itll bleed/stain. You want to TRY to rinse it until the water runs clear, and make sure you get ALL of it out, it can be easy to miss behind your ears/back of neck. I never really had an issue with sweating red but I guess if you were to sweat a lot before the first wash it would run red/pink. Also if you can tolerate putting your hair up in a scrunchy or something thatll help prevent it from staining you overnight

[@Indi_bite]

@@Misasaur THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@amandaquezada2854]

Unfortunately for me, the dye washes out the next time I shower and my white hairs come back again. Do you have any tips about how to prevent that?

[@Misasaur]

Replying a little late, sorry! Unfortunately if it's washing out right away its probably not taking to your hair at all. You may need to go for a permanent option or at least use a dye that calls for some developer in it. There are a ton of permanent options for reds and purples luckily so you should be able to find a similar shades. I've also switched to permanents, I use colours from the brand ION

[@vanesacabrera9091]

Do you put developer on it

[@Misasaur]

Not with the dye, just when I'm using bleach for my roots.

[@h4nn4h81]

What is the difference between vampire red and infra red?

[@Misasaur]

Vampire red is slightly darker! That's about it lol.

[@crystalreiser8153]

Also I feel like infra red has a orange undertone

[@xlindzy37x]

Does this bleed alot when exercising or going in water ?

[@Misasaur]

When exercising it only bleeds for maybe the first few washes. Going in water it pretty much always bleeds, the only time it doesnt for me is like 3 months in and by that time I usually redye it

[@gabriellewietrick5711]

Do u add the purple to make it a darker red ?

Exactly! The Red manic panic options always start off too bright so they fade even faster. This way it starts off darker & then fades to a red/pink over 1 1/2 - 2 months.

Yea unfortunately with semi-permanent colours they tend to bleed a lot. Its usually more manageable after a few washes

Not using warm water on your hair can cause you not to be able to wash the dirt from the pores of your scalp.

[@ashleyortiz1839]

It’s actually better not to wash your hair before dying...it grabs the color more

[@Misasaur]

I used to think the same but on the manic panic website & the instructions on the bottles recommend clean hair.

[@jordanbutterfield3720]

Yerp, a lot of semi-permanent brands I've seen recommend coloring on clean blow dried hair, and permanent brands sometimes want dirty-ish hair. They like to keep you on your toes.

[@angelabartolone9150]

This is not true. It may appear to grab more, but it's not your hair that its grabbing. Its the dirt and grease in your hair. Once you wash your hair you will actually notice it fades more the first couple washes then it would had you started with clean hair. Permanent dyes are different. They actually penetrate the cuticle so you dont need to wash your hair and its actually a good idea not to beforehand so you have some oil buildup on ypur scalp to protect it from irritation.

[@blu3bugjunkie420]

The oils in your hair make it harder for the hair to set in it better to bleach your hair without washing for this reason because the oils in your hair prevent damage

[@HodajuciParadoks]

For a regular color-dye , the one with developer ..yes, it is better not to wash for at least 4-5 days. But for direct dye, it has to be clean hair with no product(direct color - semi color)
