Manic Panic Amplified Green Semi-Permanent Hair Dye, Enchanted Forest

Update: I color every 14 -18 days. I've become quite a pro now haha. Got it down to a science in less time and mess. Vaseline is your friend. I LOVE this color - specially chosen to go with my eyes. I had my hair professionally bleached before coloring. This product made my hair shiny and vibrant. I have received a lot of compliments. This is an emerald/peacock green. And its stunning! I wash every 2nd to 3rd day in cool water. It still fades quickly but I also use more heat than I should when styling. DO NOT GET IT ON YOUR SKIN - if you can. I did get it on my scalp and it took a couple washes to get it off. I did wear gloves so my hands were fine. I also applied vaseline around my hair line and ears and it helped. I did a first rinse in my kitchen sink as it is stainless steel. Then I moved to the tub. My tub was blue for days until I bleached it which made the blue disappear instantly. Cover your hair WELL when sleeping or you will have a blue face and blue pillow cases. Use an old towel or shirt when drying it. Do not get caught in the rain without cover. It will bleed. If you have long hair do not wear a light colored shirt if you're going to wear your hair down. It will rub off onto the fabric. That also goes for shoulder length hair down on a collared shirt. I don't swim in public pools but I'd say avoid that too. This all sounds so negative but its soooooo worth the color and feel! Just want to give y'all a heads up. Sometimes sacrifices have to made. "Beauty is pain."

Incredibly pigmented and super easy to use. The color is not a vibrant green, it’s a very dark green with a blue tint. This was my goal color and I couldn’t be happier. I have level 6 & 7 hair and I applied this color with my hands to my hair after washing it and blowing it dry. I let it sit for about 45 minutes and used the blow dryer to apply heat for the last 10. Enchanted forest converged my dark blonde perfectly and gave me the payoff I was looking for. Be warned though, the amazing pigment that makes this dye so amazing will also stain everything it touches lol.

Be prepared to bleach your bath tub every time you shower for at least a week, ha. My neck, ears, and finger tips also seem to be permanently teal. But I must say, this is absolutely without a doubt the most rewarding hair dye I've ever used! I've never had such a vibrant, thorough color job. This is what I did: I used a tinting brush to evenly distribute. I mixed in a tiny bit of conditioner so that it spread easier. I combed it through until I didn't see a single hint of blonde hiding anywhere. I blow dried it for about 2 minutes. Then, I used a heat cap / shower cap and let the dye sit for 3 hours. (Yes, 3 hours, its vegan dye and it basically deep conditions your hair.) when I took the cap off, I did another quick two minute blow dry. I rinsed for about 20-30 min in COLD water. No shampoo no conditioner. I used a shower cap for a couple days in the shower, so about 4 days after dying I rinsed with cold water again and used a deep conditioner. More shower cap useage, and today will be one week after dying. So today I will use natural gentle baby shampoo (shea moisture) with a small amount of the dye mixed in. I intend to keep this color for a while and this is the way to do that. You shouldn't be washing your hair more than once or twice a week anyway because it strips the oils. I've washed my hair once a week for 15 years and I have the most luxurious, healthy, non-greasy hair of anyone I know. The last photo is from today, aka a week since I last shampooed and as you can tell my hair isn't greasy or dirty.

I received Amplified Enchanted Forest dye today and colored my hair with it. So much mess, everything is stained, including my skin everywhere. It is difficult to wash off. My bathtub and sink and towels will have to be bleached. Nice color, came out dark green on my hair, but the greys got a bright color. If I remove the stains from scalp and forehead top, I am afraid it will wash off the color from my greys. Each time I touch my hair, my hands are green, it is quite annoying.

I honestly wasn't expecting this to work on my hair. I have virgin/unbleached blond roots. The rest of my hair length is reddish black from years of using 100% natural henna and indigo, which is notoriously impossible to remove or dye over. You can see my original hair color in the first picture. I used the full bottle of MP Amplified in Enchanted Forest and left it in for 5 hours. When I rinsed it out with cool water and blow dried, my blond roots were a vivid teal blue and my henna had turned black with blue undertones (second picture). It really blended the two colors together very well, which I wasn't expecting at all. I've been trying to use dry shampoo to extend time between washes and am only washing once every 5-6 days. So far it's lasted 3 shampoos with moderate color fading and surprising staying power on virgin hair (you can see the slight fade in the last picture). I would definitely recommend this for anyone with light to medium natural hair. It does work!

I bought this for my 13 y/o who wanted to experiment with dyed hair but I was apprehensive about her using bleach on her tresses. I looked for a dye with as few (or no) harmful chemicals as possible and would be seen on dark brown hair, even if just a sheen in the sunlight. This far exceeded that! I wasn't prepared to help her dye her hair (zero experience) so I took her to the salon for application by a stylist. My daughter came out with a beautiful shade of forest green hair! (The stylist called it mermaid green). We all loved it. The longevity of the color lasting has been a little disappointing (a few weeks) BUT my girl didn't do certain things I told her like not leaving her hair wet after showering or swimming. Overall, a great purchase and we'll use this brand again!

Honestly this is probably my least favorite semi permanent hair color I have tried from Amazon. It is still decent but there are way better options. I have used Punky Color and Lunar Tides. Both of which I only need one container and I still have color left over even though they have the same amount or less oz. Manic Panic advertises this forest color and as a green/blue but even with already green hair it just appears mostly blue.. Which is very pretty but not what was expected. The color also spreads terribly, even after your hair is dry it managed to get on my hands and clothes since being dry (posted a picture of my hands, they were completely clean after dying as I used gloves, the color is from touching my dry hair) also note I did run my head under water a very long time to get the dye out. It is difficult to get it saturated into your hair, it takes so much product for tiny sections, it also has a very subtle but still noticeable stink. Overall I would not purchase this again. I should of stuck to Punky Color.

I have very medium-dark brown hair so I wasn't sure this would show up very well, but I was too lazy to bleach it/upkeep the roots so I decided what the heck, it's pretty cheap and easy. It showed up WAY more than I expected! I was pretty pleased with the results. It does bleed a lot, I've washed it three times and my hands are still a greenish-blue hue afterwards, but small price to pay, I figure. Just make sure you have that Vaseline ready before you dye it or you'll be blueish green da ba dee da ba die for awhile. I have rather short hair, so I had about half a container left, but I could see you maybe needing to buy two bottles if you have very long hair. I also like that it was fragrance-free (my boyfriend gets headaches when I dye my hair normally) and I left it on about 8 hours and my hair was still healthy afterwards. It seemed to be even brighter after the second wash, at first it looked a little more black but still very green. I say go for it! It's inexpensive and vegan so you can't mess up much! :)

Ich verwende seit zwei Jahren Manic Panic, seit gut einem Jahr das Amplified. Ich war zuerst unsicher, ob das Amplified den Aufpreis wirklich wert ist und tatsächlich länger hält. Doch ich bin sehr zufrieden und die Farbe wäscht sich nicht schnell heraus. Wie viele Haarwäschen es genau länger hält, kann ich leider nicht sagen.

Lovely colour and stayed on for ages, but be careful it stains clothes and pillows even when your hair is dry. So I had to wear black for a couple months with this one to avoid visible stains. Does look awesome though.

I wanted to share my before and after photos so anyone with a similar starting colour can see how beautifully this takes! Left on for 1 hour. Having used standard Manic Panic in the past, this was my first time upgrading to the Amplified version. The consistency is perfect for easy application, and it smells amazing. I was a bit worried about the reviews mentioning staining, but I personally had zero issues with skin staining or dry transfer. It left my hair feeling so soft and healthy. I can't speak to the fade schedule just yet—as a rule, I always use Ion Color Sealer right after rinsing to lock my color down for the long haul. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend giving this shade a try!

Es el mejor tinte de colores vivos que he probado. Es de larga duración, la textura del cabello sale beneficiada y no provoca ningún tipo se sensación incómoda en el cuero cabelludo. Además, el bote dura mucho y el color también.

Awesome. Colour is so vibrant and suits my skin tone well.
