Can I Put Permanent Dye Over Manic Panic?
You can put permanent dye over the permanent hair dye, Manic Panic. If the permanent hair dye of your choice is of darker shades, you don’t need to fade it fully. On the other hand, if it is of a lighter color, first remove the Manic Panic hair dye to apply it. For the removal, you can let the color fade or apply clarifying shampoo or semi-permanent hair dye remover. The fading is easy as Manic Panic dye cannot enter deep inside your hair. Use a coconut oil mask if your permanent dye has faded or if there are hints of pastel color in your hair. But for excessive frizziness, just use coconut oil. The application of clarifying shampoo rather than giving a dramatic effect can remove build-up from your hair and scalp. Avoid’ color-safe’ clarifying shampoos to gradually fade out your hair dye. [T1] Clarifying shampoos by rigorously removing hair dyes helps to lighten up the hair by making it suitable to apply hair dye again. And, if you prefer to use hair dye remover, your hair will slightly lighten up. Make sure to bleach it to get the desired color for extremely dark hair.
According to Chase Kusero, you can apply semi-permanent hair dyes on both wet and dry hair but do not apply permanent hair dye if your hair is wet.[T2] So, always apply permanent dye on dry hair whether you go lighter or darker. There are 2 factors that you need to consider to put permanent dye over Manic Panic.
- Hair Health: If the condition of your hair is good, and you see no signs of damage, apply your permanent hair dye over the Manic Panic hair dye immediately after the application of the semi-permanent dye.
- The base color of Permanent Hair Dye: Consider the base color of your applied permanent hair dye to avoid unwanted results. For applying any permanent hair dye of dark shades like brown, dark brown, or black, there is no need to wait for the semi-permanent dye to fully fade out. But for permanent hair dye of a light or very light permanent hair color, you have to remove it with your preferred product.
