"I've been using Manic Panic for about a year now, so far I have seven colors (Atomic Turquoise, Ultra Violet, Electric Banana, Electric Lizard, Tiger Lily, Red Passion, and Virgin Snow). I had really only used them for some streaking and chunking of the hair around my face, but I just decided to try out a full head style. I went with Tiger Lily (and a tiny bit of Red Passion), and left a few pieces out after bleaching to get a fiery effect."
Emily Tong
"I used to dye my hair red/pink/orange, but then I was like "I WANT SOMETHING WEIRDER," so I went for purple! Now everything gets stained from it—my pillowcase, my bathtub, the collars of my shirts, my nails...but I love it enough."
Bonnie Lynch
"Ultra Violet? Or Shocking Blue? Or some of both. I don't remember. This photo is about two years old."
Lucy Eggleton
"Here I am at a cocktail bar on the roof deck in Nottingham in the UK. I just dyed it in my house by myself."
Samantha Gilliams
"This my little sister and we went out last summer for a little walk. I brought my camera and took pictures. Her name is Samantha, she's 13, and she is really into the ocean (we live in Malibu) and loves the color blue, so she decided to dye a streak."
Julie Berryhill
"I'm a hairstylist, so when I get bored with whatever I'm doing with my hair at the time I tend to go back to my default Vampire/rock n' roll Red."
Sarah Anna Accardi
"I dyed my whole head purple with Manic Panic, and it sure did last a long time."
Karen Rooker
"I had to wait until after prom to dye my hair junior year (hot hot pink baby!). But I ended up writing my Common App Essay about how dyeing my hair challenged people's stereotypes at my high school (and got accepted to Emerson with a college essay about dyeing my hair pink!)."
Rebecca Emmert
"Could have been brighter. I didn't bleach it enough first. I got too excited to add the pink color!!"
Elizabeth G Gisler
"Midnight Blue mixed with Atomic Turquoise and Purple Haze! It ended up fading into grey, then to blonde."
Erin Easton Pankowski
"When I first saw Gwen Stefani with pink hair in the music video for their song "Ex-Girlfriend," I knew I would someday have pink hair. This picture was taken back in 2004 when I was a sophomore in college."
Sam Rehm
"This is my hair right now: I like to dye chunks of my hair blue, and leave other parts faded so that it's a multicolor-blue. Oh, and I'm too lazy to bleach my roots, so they've grown out a lot. I've been using manic for three years now."
Celeste Pena
"Blue Manic Panic+blonde highlights=green hair."
Annie Buller
"In 10th grade, I was obsessed with dying my hair and did it basically every color of the rainbow, thanks in no small part to Manic Panic. The first time I dyed it, I bleached my whole head and then did a chunk in what I'm pretty sure was Cotton Candy Pink."
Rachel Collier
"Napalm orange. Three years ago."
Becky Smith
"Atomic Turquoise + Electric Lizard. Done at the end of June, just before a two-week road trip vacation with my two best friends. We drove non-stop all the way from Chicago to L.A., then San Diego. Had the time of my life. Back home now and the boss was not too fond of it, so now it's a more subtle Purple Haze."
Lola Bradbury
"I wanted to dye my hair because I thought it looked cool and I liked the color. I liked it because I thought it was really outrageous and the kids at school either thought I was crazy, it was cool, or they made fun of me."
Hanna Lee Reehl
"I've done blue, purple, both blue and purple together, bright hot pink, light pink, and here we have red from back in January."
Cari Car
"Fall 2009—just looking for a change and needed something different."
Tamara Little
"Me at 16. I was going for red, and later found the correct shade. Also pierced my own belly button. When it was time for senior portraits, I had to dye it a "natural" red for Mom, so that was the end of my hair color adventures..."
