This can vary depending on the brand but the manufacturers say:

  • Special Effects hair dyes can last approx 2-6 weeks depending on the shade
  • Manic Panic cream, amplified and gel hair dyes can last approx 2-6 weeks
  • Manic Panic dye-hard hair gel/dyes are classed as one wash dyes
  • Directions hair dyes can last upto 8 washes
  • Stargazer hair dyes can last upto 15 washes
  • Crazy Color hair dyes can last upto 15 washes

This is only a rough guide and as frequent dyers will know some shades may only last a few washes whereas other may be hard to get rid of once on the hair.  Always try a strand test and/or read product reviews to see the length of time the dye may last.

For more specific information please post in the main forum

And remember that blues fade fast but pink stays forever. Also your hair is as individual as you are so what may last a few weeks on one person may last a longer or shorter time on you.

Manic Panic lasts quite a long time, but it does fade quite a bit. Crazy Colour probably goes the quickest though.

That would depend on your hair type, hair condition, if you have colour build up etc. Also the amount of times you wash your hair can make a difference.
