MANIC PANIC Electric Lizard Hair Color - Amplified - (2PK) Semi Permanent Hair Dye - Bright Neon Green Hair Color - Glows In Blacklight - Vegan, PPD & Ammonia-free For Coloring Hair for Men & Women

So i’m pretty friggin ol’ skool. i used to buy this in its original incarnation at Trash and Vaudeville in NYC. in the late 70’s early 80’s ,it was the only place you could get it back then. skip ahead to today and they still do some of the best dyes around. the only reason one might choose something different would be based on a shade preference, which you could likely mix yourself with a bit of basic colour theory.the picture is after a few weeks of root growth, but the colour is awesome. the best part though is it glows under black light. well, maybe not the best part, but a bonus for sure!!! you willneed to bleach your hair to as light as possibleto get the best results, and a roottouch up with a little 29 vol peroxide bleach shouldget you to where a re-dye gives that perfectlook. i’ve got 40+++ years of using this stuff, and every colour i have ever done is worth it. don’t skimp on the bleaching step unless your ok with just a “sheen”.

not exactly the color i thought i’d get, but i ended up really liking it anyway. it looks different with indoor/outdoor lighting, so i included pics in both. all 3 pics were before my first wash as well. it definitely stains skin, bathroom, and even your nail polish lol. so wear gloves & be careful :) about 7-9 washes later (don’t remember), color is lighter but still strong! last photo is today.

item is a normal quality product. it's got the seal on it and got here in great time.

I have dirty blonde/ dark blonde hair naturally, so I didn't bleach my hair at all. I also only dyed the bottom 6-8 inches of my very long straight hair, going for a ombre look. First of all, the bottle doesn't look like the tub in the photo, it's more of a bottle. I believe it is still 4 ounces though.I have never dyed my hair or anything like that, so the first time I was nervous. First of all - USE GLOVES. I braided my hair in sections and applied the dye to my hair ends with my hand, working through the locks of hair to make sure to get it on most of the hair. I wasn't super picky and wanted a more fluid/ gradient look, but that would be different if you were doing your whole head. After the first application of about 6 inches worth of my kind of thin hair, I had used up maybe 1/5th of the bottle. After reading other reviews and watching some video reviews on youtube, I decided to let it sit in my hair for about 4 hours. Then I rinsed it really well in the sink. IT WAS REALLY BRIGHT! I loved it! I don't wash my hair every day, probably every 3 days, and it started fading noticeably after 1.5 - 2 weeks. The second time I dyed it, I did the same process, only I left the dye in overnight. The third time it was in for almost 24 hours (this was two days ago, my hair is totally fine). I don't think leaving it in longer makes it more bright, but I think it makes the staying power MUCH longer. After the second application it was probably like 75% gone after 3 weeks (of washing 2x a week). Keep in mind I have unbleached, virgin hair.One thing I want to mention is that the manic panic is VERY conditioning! It's great, it definitely doesn't wreck your hair at all. Also, lots of reviews mention the mess... Maybe it's different because only the bottom half of my hair is dyed, or maybe people aren't rinsing it thoroughly, but I have not had a problem with dyed towels, sheets, clothes, etc. As for the shower/ sink, it will get it s bit pink, but if you do a cursory clean right after you are done rinsing (I simply wipe it with a baby wipe), all the dye comes off.All in all, I would recommend this product, although I have nothing to compare it to. I didn't give 5 stars because I wish it would stay just a bit longer, a month maybe?

I had the most amazing green hair. I got so many compliments if you’re gonna go green I highly recommend you use this. It’s amazing. I started out just doing a little bit underneath and then I was like in love and did some on the top so I had green on the top underneath and black in the middle. I’m blonde now, but I’m definitely thinking about going back green.!!! This is the only dye that I would use. I tried to others and nothing came nowhere near the green that I got out of this💚

I bought three colors of the amplified dye: bad boy blue, cotton candy pink, and ultraviolet. I've been using the classic dye pretty regularly since covid hit, and I was at home more than anything else and had no one to impress. I was hoping that since the amplified is supposed to have more color pigment, that it would either last longer, or be more vibrant. Sadly, neither seems to have been the case.First to address how easy it is to use. The little squeeze bottles tended it to make a mess and I ended up wearing as much of the dye as ended up in my hair. The jars that the classic color come in are definitely easier to use, especially if you're using a dying brush. As for longevity, I dyed my hair a week ago, and I'm already considering having to redo it. The pink was by far the worst, as it has completely faded from my hair and left it a sort of sad gray color. The blue really didn't take to my hair very well, but it at least turned a nice denim color. Unfortunately it has already started to fade in spots as well. The ultraviolet has stayed better than either of the other two, but I can already see where it is fading as well.I would be willing to say that perhaps it is an issue with the color choices because I have never used bad boy blue or cotton candy pink before, but ultraviolet is perhaps my favorite color offered by manic panic and I use it fairly religiously, so I know that it should have stayed vibrant longer than a week. I stick faithfully to the manic panic brand of dye because it tends to stay vibrant longer than any other brand I have tried to use.Overall, I will not be buying the amplified die again, because it is certainly not worth the extra cost. My advice is to find the color you like in the classic dye, and stick with it. It stays longer, and is cheaper. One star, because it wouldn't let me put zero.
