Product Information

Full details

The Manic Panic Classic Hair Colour in Dark Star is designed for adults seeking a deep, slightly purple-toned grey hair color. Its key benefit is achieving intense, smoky hair looks, but a caveat is that for best results, hair must be pre-lightened to a level 10 blonde. This semi-permanent dye is vegan-friendly, PPD-free, and can also be used to deepen existing Manic Panic shades.

FAQs

Is Manic Panic Dark Star suitable for all hair colors?

For the best and most vibrant results, Dark Star is recommended for hair that has been pre-lightened to a Level 10 blonde. On darker hair, the color may appear as a tint or a much darker shade.

How long does the color last?

As a semi-permanent dye, Dark Star typically lasts between 4-6 weeks, depending on hair porosity, washing frequency, and hair care routine. It fades gradually over time.

Can I mix Dark Star with other Manic Panic colors?

Yes, Dark Star can be mixed with other Manic Panic Classic High Voltage shades to create custom colors or to deepen existing tones. It's excellent for making other colors more muted or adding a greyish dimension.

Is this product tested on animals?

No, Manic Panic products, including Dark Star, are vegan-friendly and cruelty-free, meaning they are not tested on animals.

Does it contain PPD?

No, the Manic Panic Classic High Voltage Dark Star formula is PPD-free.

How do I prepare my hair for application?

For optimal results, hair should be clean, dry, and pre-lightened to a Level 10 blonde. Avoid using conditioner before application if possible, and do not use styling products.

What if I have dark brown hair?

If you have dark brown hair, you will need to use a bleach kit to lighten it to a Level 10 blonde for the intended grey color to show. Without lightening, the color may only result in a subtle tint or a very dark, barely noticeable shade.

Troubleshooting

Color did not show up or is too light.

Ensure hair was lightened to at least a Level 10 blonde before application. Re-apply after further lightening if necessary, or try leaving the dye on for a longer duration during the next application.

Uneven color application.

Thoroughly saturate all strands of hair during application. Ensure no sections were missed. If applying to previously dyed hair, ensure even lightening was achieved.

Color faded very quickly.

Wash hair with cool water and use sulfate-free shampoos. Limit heat styling and frequent washing. Consider using a color-depositing conditioner.

Skin staining.

Apply a barrier cream (like petroleum jelly) to the hairline and ears before application. Clean up any drips immediately with a damp cloth. Use gloves throughout the process.

  • Achieves a very deep and unique grey shade.
  • Vegan and PPD-free formula.
  • Versatile for custom color mixing.
  • Semi-permanent, allowing for gradual fading.
  • Suitable for adult unisex use.

Cons

  • Requires hair to be pre-lightened to level 10 blonde for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: For optimal results, lighten your hair to a Level 10 blonde using a bleach kit. Ensure hair is clean and dry, free from styling products. Strand testing is highly recommended.

Application: Wear gloves and protective clothing. Apply Dark Star evenly to the desired sections of hair. Leave on for 30-45 minutes (or longer for more intense results), following the specific instructions on the product packaging.

Rinsing: Rinse hair with cool water until the water runs clear. Avoid using shampoo immediately after rinsing; conditioner is acceptable.

Care: To maintain the color, wash hair with cool water and sulfate-free shampoos. Avoid excessive heat styling, as it can accelerate fading. Dark Star is generally compatible with most hair types, but results are most vibrant on pre-lightened hair.
