Anyway, I planned to dye my hair this Christmas break and I had a hard time choosing what color should I buy.
I already knew what I brand I want to buy, so I just need to find a local online store which carries the product that I want.
So, in the search for an online store which sells MANIC PANIC HAIR DYE, I found Pizzazz Republic. Yey!
PIZZAZZ REPUBLIC is a Philippine-based online shop which sells Manic Panic, Special effects and Punky semi-permanent hair colors in the Philippines since 2009.
And so, I choose a color that's already on-hand or ready to ship. Because I'm so excited and I can't wait. HAHAH. I chose MANIC PANIC VOODOO BLUE.
I chose MANIC PANIC VOODOO BLUE because I want to get a blue green/turquoise effect. I don't want a solid blue color on my hair.
From Manic Panic website:
Manic Panic® hair color is the best of its kind. We use superior ingredients that are guaranteed Vegan and PPD free. MANIC PANIC® SEMI-PERMANENT HAIR COLOR contains no animal ingredients and is tested on celebrities, not animals™
Maria, the owner, is so accommodating. When I texted her asking if Voodoo blue is still available she promptly replied and said it's still available. I also asked her a favor, if she can reserve my order until mid-December (I texted her mid-November). And she was super kind, she told me that she can hold my order until the said time. Oh thank you, Maria! :D
These are my orders:
1 jar of MANIC PANIC Voodoo Blue
1 BLEACHING KIT contains:
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 hair dye brush w/comb
- 1 pack of bleaching powder
- 1 bottle of oxidizing cream
Great thing is that I got a freebie, it's an Aroma Hair Therapy Cream. Sweet, right?
So mid-December came, I got my package and dyed my hair last December 21. Here's what I did:
- Shampooed my hair.
- Bleached my hair from dark brown to golden yellow for 1 hour and 30 mins. (I want paler color than this to achieve the perfect blue green effect.)
- Rinsed my hair and put on conditioner. (I'm afraid my hair got toasted, fortunately not.)
- Let my hair dry.
- Applied Manic Panic Voodoo Blue. (My sister helped me.)
- Let it sit for an hour and rinsed thoroughly until water became a bit clear.
And this is what I've achieved:
You can still notice some dark brown and golden yellow strands of my hair. I guess one jar is not enough for a hair this long like mine. It's just past-shoulder-length.
It looks a bit greenish than blue. But I'm happy with the result. :D
I love my Christmas Hair! :D
VERDICT
Pros:
- Vegan
- PPD free
- No foul smell
- Easy to wash away from skin
Cons:
- Pricey
- Needs a lot of jars for those with long hair
- Only available online (for Philippine residents)
Will buy again?
YES! I would love to try other colors next year. :D
