All of my favorite dye brands seem to have stopped making dye!! Super sad about it. Special fx and monster makeup were the best.


Manic panic gets everywhere so I've been avoiding it... I tried Arctic Fox recently but I'm not the biggest fan. Hopefully some replies in here can steer me towards an alternative.

There's this cool service called Color & Co from Loreal where you take a quiz and then you get a whole kit with color custom made to your preferences. You can choose how often you want the color delivered and tweak it whenever you want. I love it!ย

I use directions. I find their blues and the pinks stain the hair. I do like their reds with orange undertones tho.ย

My favorite used to be Sparks, but they've changed their formula and it's not as nice. I like Manic Panic amplified(which is probably my "favorite"), but their normal stuff stains EVERYTHING. Arctic Fox is ok, but it's not very long lasting.ย

I used Headshotย Hairdye for many years. They're vegan, and from a local german punkshop. But now I use the Elumen colours from Goldwell. You have to juse the prep before and after dyeing you have to take the lock. So the colours hold for a very long time.

dark and lovely is good for if you wanna lighten your hair without bleach and your hair is super dark

other than that, i use no fade fresh conditioner dye. it doesn't come in a lot of colours but it shows up really bright and it conditions my hair so there aren't any downsides other than the entire bathroom being stained bright red afterwards

Manic Panic although I will admit itz mostly just a nostalgia thing :pp Warm colours always left my hair too quick and cool colours refused to leave

Crazy Colors is awesome but unfortunately I haven't been able to get it in my country, only time I found it was at a cosmetology convention

Currently using Arctic Fox for the most part โ™ก

Manic panic definitely! All the colors are really vibrant and work well on all hair types. All the dyes are semi permanent so consistently redoing your hair can get tedious, but itโ€™s still a really good brand!

I usually use either the Colorista hair dye by L'oreal Paris or Good Dye Young, both are really vibrant and last for a long time, even if you wash your hair with hot water

I don't use a lot of hair dye brands but my go-to ones is Good Dye Young and Iroiro from Sally's. Whenever I'm in Mexico though, I just get whatever brand that isn't like those boxed up ones that you see at a walmart.

For dyeing your hair black I recommend age beautiful jet black, its very good and doesn't get everywhere, though for the first few days your shower water will be dark grey

Hello, I use the Garnier brand. In my case it hasn't damaged my hair and it is long-lasting (the color hasn't come out yet, I've been using it for 6 months) I used shade 6660 apple

I dye my hair all the time from home so thereโ€™s two that I like. ย 

If you want to PERMANENTLY dye your hair, splatt. Splatt is a fabric dye sold thats hair safe, and sold as hair dye. It does fade, but never completely comes out, so you may need to redye it sometimes.

If you want something that sticks a long time, is vibrant, and can be dyed over, manic panic is my favorite hair coloring ever. I used it to dye my hair lime green and it only faded a bit into a more mossy green after about 6 months. I also have dark hair, so that might be a contributor to that. I would bleach it first if you have darker hair.

I havenโ€™t exactly tried a lot of dyes because thankfully I found manic panic before I tried other brands, but do your research from people who have actually dyed their hair with similar hair types to your own

I love love love! punky color, it lasts so well on blonde/bleached hair and it works on darker hair, though not for as long, and its only like ten bucks!. i've also been using strawberry leopard lately, they have a wider variety of colors and a bigger bottle, though are more expensive.ย

I only ever used Directions by La Riche, I've never been let down. Just make sure you're using a rich color (not pastel like lavender) and/or your bleached hair isn't too yellowish!

I only take care of my hair in a salon. The hairdressers there know which product is best. For example, in Premium Barbershopย https://premiumbarbershop.com/302-e-52nd-st/ they have never made a mistake with their choice or recommendation)

Highly recommend iroiro for vibrant hair dye!! their yellow and pink is really good. ive been using strawberry leopard but the neon blue will never. and i mean NEVER lift from your hair. your hair will be neon blue forever. their neon green however, fades super quick
