Pre-lightening the hair before coloring is actually the most important step when using Manic Panic hair color, and is why we have listed it at the beginning of all of our instructions. Hair type varies from person to person. It is the porosity of the hair that determines whether or not natural hair picks up the pigments. The actual color of natural hair alone does not determine whether or not bleaching is necessary. Natural blonde hair may require bleaching to become porous just as any other hair color does.

FAQ's:
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.
DO I NEED TO PRE-LIGHTEN MY HAIR EVERY TIME BEFORE I COLOR MY HAIR?
Yes, but ONLY the new growth! Be careful not to overlap on hair that has already been lightened, this can cause breakage and damage the hair.
CAN I USE MANIC PANIC FLASH LIGHTENING KIT TO BLEACH MY PERMANENT COLORED BLACK HAIR?
It is very dangerous to apply Manic Panic Flash lightening kit to hair colored with a permanent black color. Do not attempt to do this without the advice and direction of a professional stylist who can evaluate the condition of your hair. Lightening dyed black hair can be extremely damaging and result in major breakage!
If your hair is dyed black, some darker MANIC PANIC dyes will give a subtle highlight (like Vampire Red for example) and will not damage the hair. On NATURAL black hair, MANIC PANIC Flash lightning Bleach Kit in 40 volume strength is recommended.
DO I NEED TO USE THE FULL CONTENTS OF THE BLEACH KIT?
YES. Our bleach kits are prepared with the perfect ratio of bleach powder and developer to give you consistent results every time.
HOW IS BLEACH APPLIED?
The bleach mixture should be applied to dry, unwashed hair using a hair dye brush like the one provided in our bleach kits. When applying bleach, make sure to spread the mixture evenly and completely saturate all strands using the brush or gloved fingers. Not saturating the hair enough or uneven application can lead to spotty results.
HOW LONG DOES BLEACH STAY ON FOR?
The length of processing time depends on the color and condition of your hair, but we don’t recommend leaving bleach on for longer than 50 minutes. While processing, make sure to check your hair every 10 minutes after application to evaluate how much color has lifted. To do so, wipe away some of the bleach in the area you want to check. If your hair is not as light as you’d like, reapply the bleach and continue processing.
DO I SHAMPOO MY HAIR WHEN REMOVING THE BLEACH?
YES. Thoroughly shampoo your hair after you are done processing your hair. This may take multiple washings to ensure the bleach is completely removed. If you’re dyeing your hair with MANIC PANIC after bleaching, do not condition, and dry your hair completely before applying color.

i bought two but one was enough for half of my head which i thought id need two for due to the length. Granted, i DO have an undercut so the back of my head is shaved but there was even just enough left in the tub to cover the half of it that i would've bleached if it was still there and not only is my hair long in general, but its long even on me as someone who's about 5'10-5'11. i have a lot of hair needless to say, and its EXTREMELY dark (and virgin aside from the very ends on a couple pieces that were bleached and dyed teal 2 years ago almost exactly.
Which brings me to my next point...it says 5 levels and literally lightened my hair precisely 5 levels. im just really impressed with the reliability this product turned out to have. I'm glad i chose it. Even the value is awesome because i usually need a ridiculous amount of ANY product for my hair (i used TWO splat bleachings for just my ends two years ago which wasn't even my plan-i wanted to do what im doing now) but now i already have the bleach i need for the next lift after a little repair time goes by.
I'm going for a rich eggplanty-blue violet that isn't too dark in low light but with the natural color of my hair, its a process i planned for. I want the color but i also want to keep the integrity of my long hair in tact.
Even the ends with previous bleaching had very minimal damage. Its still got a great amount of elasticity and it soft and smooth. I bought All Plex too but I've decided to save it for the second bleaching i'll do n the near future so the only thing ive put on my hair other than the bleach and then shampoo to wash it out, was a VERY small amount of some Husk Coconut oil that i already had and it did great just with that. The ONLY preventative measures of protection I used was not washing my hair for quite awhile...QUITE a while lol...its not the MOST attractive thing but no one can tell if you wear your hair up (all or partially, in any style) and maybe a little dry shampoo for roots when its not all up. But your natural oils can do a whole lot more than any man made product and I wanted the healthiest result.
NOTE: i did all of this on a strand test before doing the exact same thing to the rest to be sure of how it would turn out-especially with a product i'm unfamiliar with. so whatever you do for YOUR hair, do a strand test first for ANY product or even any technique that you are new to. **You cant have pretty colorful hair if you fry it all off..regret not leaving it in long enough or regret leaving it in too long. One of those is MUCH easier to correct and deal with** I left mine on for 35min from the time i finished, not from the time i started.
I tried to take the pictures in different lighting because the sun wasn't really showing much on the strand test and it was dark by the time it was all finished and dried. My bathroom light is kinda yellow and my bathroom is really small AND the walls are painted a very pale yellow lol so i tried to getting different angles but it doesn't really effect the real life color too much. This is enough for me at this stage of my current color journey.
-Initial review:
I JUST received my package of two bleaching kits so for now I'm rating it 5 stars overall just based on packaging/delivery and amount of product for price. I plan on using them this week, as soon as i get the first opportunity, so i'll update then.

I use the 40v sometimes but I prefer the 30v. It gives me a little more time to put it on so it all comes out evenly.
I use it for highlighting my hair and I follow up with a toner (simply because I prefer a more ashy look with soft brown undertones) and i simply start with a smokey bronde toner at the roots and smudge it down my hairline lightly blending it into the rest of my hair.
This is the only bleaching brand I use because my results are always predictable and I can achieve the color/look I'm going for.
Practice makes perfect. The whole process takes me about an hour. As with any lightening hair products, follow up with a deep conditioner and whatever oil you use after your shower to give the appearance of closed hair cuticles and soft, healthy hair.
I love this product and have been using it forever. Also, keep some space between the product and your scalp. The heat generated by your scalp with turn your hair orange at the roots. If that happens, by some IGK for your hair. Besides, if you are blonde by nature or bottle, you probably should have some IGK on hand for maintenance.
I had initially purchased this product because I was interested in getting some thing that had more product so I could use it a couple of times. Judging by the picture it appeared larger than it was. Just something to take into consideration that this is essentially a one used product making it twice as expensive as what I normally purchase, For only being a single so that's just something to keep in mind.
